VIDEO: REDS SHOW GREAT SPORTSMANSHIP

Manchester United's players showed great sportsmanship after the win at Benfica by consoling home goalkeeper Mile Svilar.

The teenager became the youngest keeper ever to appear in the Champions League, breaking Iker Casillas' record, and is widely regarded as one of Europe's hottest prospects in his position.
After being forced to tip over a corner by Marcus Rashford from under his own bar, the England international then deceived the keeper with an inswinging free-kick that he carried over the line. Goal-line technology was used to confirm the decision and the unusual strike earned the Reds a third successive win in Group A.
Romelu Lukaku took time to speak to his fellow Belgian and embraced the youngster, while David De Gea and Ander Herrera also offered personal support and encouragement following the final whistle.
"Yeah, it was nice," said Svilar. "He [Lukaku] just said that I don't have to worry. If I continue to work, it will be okay."
Jose Mourinho is an admirer of the former Anderlecht shot-stopper, commenting: "He's a goalkeeper with huge potential. Benfica had better prepare a big suitcase, because someone will pay a lot of money for him in a few years."
