Man United handed instant verdict as Atletico Madrid goal controversially chalked off

Manchester United were handed a lifeline when Atletico Madrid had a second goal through Johnny Cardoso ruled out for handball during their Champions League clash in Madrid. United appeared to be heading 2-0 behind after Pablo Barrios opened the scoring inside the first minute.

Referee Glenn Nyberg overturned the goal following an on-field review, ruling that Llorente had handled the ball during the build-up.
