UCL: Lookman scores as Atletico Madrid beat Man Utd

Atletico Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Pablo Barrios put the hosts ahead within the opening minute of the match. According to Yahoo Sports, a goal by Johnny Cardoso was ruled out just before halftime following a VAR review for a handball in the build-up. Manchester United's situation worsened midway through the second half when Leny Yoro was sent off after a VAR review for denying Jonathan David a goalscoring opportunity.
