Man United Thrash Leipzig 5-0, Messi Leads Barca at Juve
LONDON (Dispatches) - Manchester United have dispatched German side, RB Leipzig 5-nil, thanks to a superb hat-trick from Marcus Rashford at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils got on the score-sheet as Mason Greenwood got on the end of a brilliant pass and fired a precise shot that went inside the right post. But the real firework began, when substitute Marcus Rashford scored his first goal of the night in the 74th minute to make it 2-nil for the hosts.
Just 4 minutes later, Rashford completed a brace for his team as he rolled the ball into the back of the net from close range. In the 87th minute, Anthony Martial slotted the ball past the goal-keeper after a well-executed penalty.
But that was not the end of drama RB Leipzig as Rashford completed a hat-trick 2 minutes into the injury time and made it 5-nil. The Reds are now atop Group H, with 6 points, out of 2 matches, while Leipzig are third with only 3 points.
Also in the Champions League, Barcelona have won the war of VAR to defeat Juventus 2-nil at the Allianz Stadium to maintain their perfect run in the games.

Just a minute later, Juventus’ striker, Alvaro Morata, pulled one back for the home-side, but it was ruled offside, after a VAR check. Morata scored two other goals, but they were both called offside as well, after VAR check.
The Catalan Giants scored their second in the 91st minute as captain Lionel Messi sent an unstoppable penalty into the net. With the win, Barcelona sit at the top of Group G with 6 points, out of 2 matches, while Pirlo’s Juventus are second with 3 points.
