UEFA Champions League | Estadio da Luz | Att: 57,684 | Scorer: Rashford 64

Manchester United edged a step closer to qualification to the Champions League knock-out stages with a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Benfica.

A superb free-kick from Marcus Rashford on 64 minutes, which 18-year-old goalkeeper Mile Svilar carried behind the line, was enough to seal another three points as the Reds continued the march towards the last 16.

It was top versus bottom in Group A, with the Reds leading the way on maximum points and with seven goals scored at the start of the night.
