Copenhagen came from behind twice to beat Manchester United and send them to the bottom of Group A.
Manchester United were two goals up before the half-hour mark and seemed to be coasting to victory before an unfortunate Marcus Rashford red card turned the tide, causing the Red Devils to lose 4-3.
The Red Devils travelled to Denmark as they looked to build on the Andre Onana-inspired three points at Old Trafford last time out to get the Champions League on the right track.

Chelsea legend Lampard settles long-standing Gerrard vs Scholes debate, reveals superior player
Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard lifted the lid on the ongoing debate between him and his former England teammates Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes.
Rasmus Hojlund gave Manchester United an early start with goals in the third and 28th minute, but, capitalising on Rashford's sending-off in the 42nd minute, Copenhagen got a quick-fire double just before half-time to restore parity.
Bruno Fernandes thought he won it for United against all odds from the penalty spot in the 69th minute, but another late double from the hosts ensured Manchester United went back home with nothing, and were nailed to the bottom of the group.
How it happened
Although he has yet to score for Manchester United in the Premier League, Rasmus Hojlund has been deadly in the UCL and fired the Red Devils into the lead as early as the 3rd minute of proceedings.
Hojlund was rightly positioned to tap in McTominay’s pass from close range for his first goal, and for his second, he was also in the right place to fire in a rebound.
This began to go awry for the visitors later that half and it all started in the 41st minute when Rashford was sent off for a dangerous foul after a VAR ruling. Copenhagen capitalised and scored less than five minutes after Mohamed Elyounoussi connected to a Diogo Goncalves delivery to fire past Onana.
Goncalves went from provider to scorer in injury time after a penalty was awarded against the Red Devils after a double handball by Rafael Varane and Harry Maguire in the penalty box.
The Portuguese stepped off to take the resulting penalty and coolly buried the ball behind the Cameroonian shot-stopper who dived the wrong way.

The visitors were awarded a penalty of their own later in the second half when a Copenhagen player’s hand impeded Maguire’s header in the box. Fernandes stepped up and made no mistake with his attempt.
Lukas Lerager pulled the hosts level once more by bundling in a Rasmus Falk cross, and four minutes later, a brilliant strike from Roony Bardghji put Copenhagen in the lead and handed them maximum points.
