Agency Report

Anthony Martial was both hero and
villain as Manchester United came from
behind to claim a hard-fought 1-1 draw
away to CSKA Moscow in the Champions
League.

The teenager gifted the hosts the
opening goal at the Arena Khimki,
needlessly handling in the area and
giving a penalty away. David de Gea
expertly saved Roman Eremenko’s
spot kick on 15 minutes but Seydou
Doumbia scored the rebound.

After a subdued opening 45 minutes,
United controlled the second half
and got a deserved equaliser as
Martial headed home Antonio
Valencia’s cross on 65 minutes.



United pushed for a winner late on
but, with Sunday’s Manchester derby
on the horizon, and with CSKA
travelling to Old Trafford in a
fortnight’s time, a point could prove
to be a decent result for Louis van
Gaal’s side.

The result leaves United level with
CSKA on four points in Group B,
behind leaders Wolfsburg who beat
PSV Eindhoven 2-0.
