Manchester United tops Champions League group with 2-1 win over CSKA STEVE DOUGLASGETTY IMAGES Marcus Rashford scores Manchester United's second goal against CSKA Moskva at Old TraffordManchester United scored two goals in 66 seconds in coming from behind to beat CSKA Moscow 2-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday (Wednesday NZ time), becoming the third English team to finish top of its group. CSKA was eliminated from the competition, dropping instead to the Europa League, by finishing third in Group A. The Russian club's chances of sneaking second place looked possible when Vitinho gave them the lead seconds before halftime at Old Trafford. Finishing first in the group is usually seen as preferable to being runner-up. But with the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus and Bayern Munich in line to finish second, there might not be a benefit this season.
