Atlético Madrid beat 10-man Manchester United 2-0 on Tuesday, extending United’s winless run to five matches and increasing pressure on head coach Michael Carrick.

Pablo Barrios scored after 50 seconds before Atlético had a Johnny Cardoso goal disallowed for handball and twice struck the woodwork. Bruno Fernandes hit the crossbar as United sought an equaliser, but Leny Yoro was sent off after being judged to have fouled Jonathan David as the last defender. Substitute Ademola Lookman added Atlético’s second in the 79th minute.

Arsenal defeated Lille 3-0 after Jurrien Timber, Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka scored within seven second-half minutes.

On Wednesday, reigning champion Paris Saint-Germain won 4-2 at Manchester City after building a 3-0 first-half lead through Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé and Vitinha. Maghnes Akliouche added PSG’s fourth after the break. Erling Haaland scored twice for City, becoming the fastest player to reach 60 Champions League goals, doing so in 60 appearances.

Real Madrid recovered from 3-1 down to beat Roma 4-3 at the Stadio Olimpico. Donyell Malen scored twice for Roma, but Carlos Espí, Endrick and former Roma defender Antonio Rüdiger struck during a late seven-minute comeback.

Elsewhere, Bradley Barcola scored a hat-trick as Liverpool beat LASK 6-3, while Aston Villa recorded a 6-0 win over Fenerbahçe.
