MANCHESTER, England (AP):
Juan Mata scored one goal and set up another as Manchester United came from behind to beat Wolfsburg 2-1 yesterday for their first win in Group B of the Champions League.
Daniel Caligiuri took advantage of some slack defending from United to put Wolfsburg ahead after four minutes, but Mata won and converted a penalty to equalise before half time.
The Spanish midfielder then back-heeled a pass straight into the path of Chris Smalling, who slotted the ball past Diego Benaglio to seal the three points in the 53rd minute.
In Turin, Juventus eased to a 2-0 win over Sevilla to move top of Group D.
