Win for Manchester United

2:33 pm on 17 February 2010

Manchester United has beaten AC Milan 3-2 at the San Siro in a European football Champions' League last-16 first leg tie, thanks to two second half goals from Wayne Rooney.

The seven-times champions had never lost to United at home, or over two legs, and went ahead quickly when a Ronaldinho volley off a David Beckham free kick, deflected in off Michael Carric .

Paul Scholes equalised after he missed the ball with his right foot and it hit his left shin and rolled in but there was nothing lucky about Rooney's headers.

Meanwhile Real Madrid lost 1-0 at Olympique Lyon after dominating possession but failing to create many chances.

And Manchester City has moved into fourth ahead of Liverpool in the English Premier League, after a 1-1 draw at Stoke City.
