Man United, Chelsea advance in Champions League
November 03, 2009 02:55 PMManchester United and Chelsea scored late goals Tuesday to reach the next round of the Champions League with Bordeaux and FC Porto.
United trailed 3-1 at home to CSKA Moscow with six minutes left, but Paul Scholes and Antonio Valencia scored to make it 3-3 in the Group B game to give last season's runner-up the point needed to advance.
Didier Drogba scored in the 82nd and 88th to put Chelsea 2-1 up at Atletico Madrid in Group D. The 2008 finalist conceded an injury-time goal to Sergio Aguero and drew 2-2.
The two English clubs moved into the next round with Bordeaux, which won 2-0 win at Bayern Munich in Group A, and FC Porto.
Porto's 1-0 win at APOEL Nicosia means it advances alongside Chelsea and eliminates the other Group D clubs. AC Milan and Real Madrid still have to play following their 1-1 draw in Italy.
In other games, Juventus won 1-0 at Maccabi Haifa in Group A; Wolfsburg won 3-0 at Besiktas in Group B; and Marseille routed visiting FC Zurich 6-1 in Group C.
Lyon puts the tournament's last perfect record on the line Wednesday when it hosts a Liverpool team desperate for victory. Arsenal hosts AZ Alkmaar and Inter Milan is at Dynamo Kiev in another of the day's eight games.
