Lake Como's club routs Manchester United 4-1 in the Champions League, and its coach says he told them to ease off
A small Italian club's big night, and the pressure it piles on United's manager, in one quick report.
Como, coached by former Spain midfielder Cesc Fàbregas, beat Manchester United 4-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, Oct. 21. Nico Paz scored after 118 seconds, scored again and set up another goal before Jacobo Ramón's header made it 4-0, according to the report on Yahoo Sports.
"I told my players to slow down at 4-0," Fàbregas said. Joshua Zirkzee's late goal kept United from matching its heaviest European defeat, 5-0 to Sporting in 1964. United coach Michael Carrick was seen apologizing to the traveling fans, and the report says captain Bruno Fernandes appeared to question the tactics afterward.
