Man United beat Bayer Leverkusen four goals to two and as the score line suggest.
It was no means an easy match for Man United and when Bayer scored the equaliser you could feel the collective groan via twitter.
I don't think there was ever any real danger of them losing especially as they were playing at home.
So when Van Persie, Rooney and Valencia each scored a goal that helped to calm the nerves of any worried fans.
Manchester City had a much more comprehensive victory beating Viktoria Plzen three goals to nil.
To be fair I have never heard of this team Viktoria Plzen but Man City did well to avoid an embarrassing loss.
