Manchester United suffered a heavy defeat against Como on the third matchday of the Champions League, while Aston Villa beat Viking Stavanger 3-1 and Real Madrid defeated Leipzig 4-1. Bayern Munich and Arsenal drew 2-2 in a spectacular match, reports Seneweb.

Manchester United were beaten 4-1 by Como on Wednesday in the third round of the Champions League. The English club, unable to secure a victory in the match, suffered a heavy defeat in Italy, according to Seneweb.

Como won without Assane Diao, the Senegalese forward being absent through injury. The defeat could increase pressure on Manchester United, who had kept a clean sheet only once in their previous ten matches, according to Seneweb.

The defeat came after the already poor defensive record noted in Manchester United in the Champions League. In the evening’s other matches, Real Madrid beat Leipzig 4-1, Aston Villa won 3-1 against Viking Stavanger and Galatasaray defeated Lille 4-2, according to Seneweb.
