Valencia gives United win
Antonio Valencia struck a late winner as Manchester United maintained their 100% record in Champions League Group B with a 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow.[LNB] Chances had been at a premium on the artificial surface of the Luzhniki Stadium - scene of United's final victory in 2008 - but United finished strongly. [LNB] Valencia, who celebrated his first United goal last weekend, doubled his tally for the club five minutes from time, moments after rattling the crossbar with a fierce drive. [LNB] United began to assert themselves more midway through the first half and O'Shea had a cross headed clear by Sergei Ignashevich. [LNB] Nani again broke clear for United before the break but Gary Neville shot over after the ball worked its way across goal. [LNB] The second half got off to a lively start with chances at both ends. Nani raced through from a Valencia backheel only to find no-one with his cross while Berbatov controlled well but saw his shot blocked. [LNB] Necid then brought down the ball brilliantly outside the United box but after doing the hard work, his shot was tame. [LNB] Michael Owen was introduced as a 71st-minute substitute for Scholes and had a fine opportunity when Valencia crossed five minutes later but he failed to connect with a volley. [LNB] Valencia went much closer eight minutes from time when he combined well with Berbatov and Nani on the edge of the area but his powerful shot rebounded off the woodwork. [LNB] Not to be denied, Valencia went one better five minutes from time when he latched onto a downward header from Berbatov and turned six yards out to lash in the winner.
