Goals: Kuchaev 90′ – Lukaku 4′, 27′, Martial penalty 18′, Mkhitaryan 57′
In the 2015-2016 season, Man Utd only won a 1-1 draw at CSKA Moscow’s field.
Returning to Russia after two years, Man Utd under the guidance of coach Mourinho is having strong performances in all competitions and CSKA Moscow is not a worthy opponent at this time.
Lukaku has scored 10 goals in nine matches in all competitions for Man Utd.
Lukaku opened the scoring in the fourth minute with his forte header.
Man Utd’s second goal came from the penalty spot after Mkhitaryan was fouled by defender Georgi Shchennikov inside the 16m50 box.
The first half ended with Lukaku’s second goal and a great contribution from the ease of the home defense.
Lukaku scored twice but Martial was also an equally impressive player in this match.
Martial deserves to be the best player in the match with one goal and three specific contributions to the goal.
It was not until the last minute of official competition that CSKA earned an honorable goal.
The victory over CSKA helped Man Utd maintain the top spot with six points after two matches.
CSKA had opportunities to score, but shots from Lan Dzagoev and Fedor Chalov couldn’t beat De Gea.
Akinfeev, Sergei Ignashevich and Vasili Berezutski played more than 1,500 matches at club level and had a total of 322 caps for Russia.
CSKA lost four goals at home in the European Cup for the first time in history.
The midfielders’ disastrous handling contributed to Akinfeev’s 41st consecutive match without being able to keep a clean sheet.
This is another four-goal victory for Man Utd, something that is becoming familiar this season.
