RB Leipzig 3-2 Man Utd: Five talking points as Germans dump Red Devils out of Europe


 Manchester United's Champions League flame was put out by RB Leipzig who saw off the Premier League side in Germany.

The Red Devils only needed to avoid defeat at the Red Bull Arena and set up accordingly with a back five.

But they were behind in two minutes as on loan Manchester City man Angelino struck a sweet shot into the corner to take advantage of some slack defending.

Amadou Haidara then doubled their lead 10 minutes later when he slotted home unchallenged at the back post.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was unable to inspire another Houdini act at half-time despite the inevitable improvements.

He made the decision to call on Paul Pogba with half an hour but it was Leipzig who struck for a third time when Justin Kluivert pounced on David de Gea's indecision.

Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot with ten minutes remaining and Pogba headed home to give genuine hope that the visitors could again come back.
