Man Utd, Real Madrid, Juventus all held to a draw



Seydou Doumbia gave CSKA the lead after David de Gea had saved Roman Eremenko's penalty, given away by Martial.United improved after the break with Martial making up for his mistake by heading in Antonio Valencia's cross. Anthony Martial rescued a point for Manchester United as they drew with CSKA Moscow in the Champions League after a laboured performance. It could have been a lot worse for Louis van Gaal's side, who have been unconvincing so far in Europe after a year's break from the Champions League.

United defence were slow to react after De Gea pushed the initial effort on to the post and into Doumbia's path - the Spanish keeper also had to claw away Ahmed Musa's long-range effort before the break.
Initially, United offered little response to Doumbia's eighth goal for club and country, any attacks sorely lacking in pace.But Marouane Fellaini's introduction at half-time signalled an improvement, as Ander Herrera dropped deeper and injected more pace into the visitors' passing.
And it was from Herrera's pass that Valencia crossed for Martial to head his first Champions League goal.
Juventus was held to a draw and also Real Madird's Christiano Ronaldo showed frustration as he leaves the stadium.
