Benfica goalkeeper Mile Svilar saves penalty… then scores comical own goal against Manchester United
Belgian youngster takes his tally of Champions League records to THREE in the first half at Old Trafford
BENFICA keeper Mile Svilar went from hero to zero against Manchester United.
And the Belgian, 18, broke his THIRD Champions League record with two moments in the first half at Old Trafford.
First Svilar saved a penalty from Anthony Martial with a super stop to his left - becoming the Champions League's youngest player to foil a spot-kick.
But he was left with an own goal to his name when his luck ran out just before half-time.
Romelu Lukaku teed up Nemanja Matic outside the area to unleash a drive.
The Serbian's rocket beat Svilar's despairing dive and cracked against the bottom of the post.
Svilar did not not even have time to turn and react before the ball bounced off his back and into the net.

That also made him the youngest player to score an own goal in the competition.
And it was another amazing moment in the keeper's second game against United in a matter of weeks.
The youngster was left close to tears on October 18 in Lisbon after carrying Marcus Rashford's 64th-minute free-kick over the goalline to help United to a 1-0 win.
Svilar's appearance in that match made him the Champions League's youngest ever keeper at 18 years and 52 days old - meaning he scooped his third competition record on Tuesday.
