by

MAN UTD 2 CSKA MOSCOW 1

Manchester United extended their unbeaten home record to a remarkable 40 games to equal a 51-year-old club record with victory against CSKA Moscow.

“I am not playing for records – the record I wanted was to win the Europa League for the first time.There are more important things than that, though it is nice,” he said.

Goals from Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford in a deadly 66-second spell ensured United headed the section with 15 points from a possible 18.

MAN CITY 2, SOUTHAMPTON 1

Titles are won and lost on moments like this as Raheem Sterling’s 95th minute goal gave Premier League leaders Manchester City a massive three points at home to Southampton.

And Pep Guardiola’s joyous and almost uncontrollable celebrations, in which he sprinted on to the field, revealed precisely what it meant to City’s manager as his side ground out a valuable victory.

The late goals by Sterling against Huddersfield on Sunday and Saints see City preserve an eight-point lead at the top whereas it could conceivably had been four but for his priceless strikes in both matches.
