Champions League Matchday 4: Manchester United 4-0 Dynamo Kiev

There's not a lot to say about this game. It was a comfortable win for United, against decidedly inferior opposition. United are now the only team in the competition with a perfect record so far, and they've guaranteed their place in the last 16 with two games to spare.

Dynamo Kiev still don't have a single point, but they put up a bit of a fight at the beginning of the game, until Gerard Pique broke the deadlock with a header from a free kick that had pinged around the box and off the back of Carlos Tevez. And it was Tevez who scored the second goal, just six minutes later, winning the ball in his own half and exchanging passes with Wayne Rooney before unleashing a powerful shot.

The stats said that United had had a quite incredible 75% of possession by halftime, and although they were slightly less dominant in the second half, they didn't need to be. Dynamo Kiev had a few decent chances but failed to capitalize, which could have changed the game. Wayne Rooney added a third goal in the 75th minute with a perfect volley from Nani's cross, and Cristiano Ronaldo finished things off with a late goal, dinking inside from the left wing and firing it into the far corner.
