Champions League: Manchester United beaten by Olympiakos in last-16 first leg

Joel Campbell: Olympiakos' loan star fired in a spectacular second
Manchester United will have a 2-0 deficit to overturn in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League clash with Olympiakos after slipping to defeat on Greek soil.
The Red Devils never got going in their last-16 encounter and fell behind seven minutes before the interval when Alejandro Dominguez deflected an ambitious effort from Giannis Maniatis past a wrong-footed David de Gea.
Things went from bad to worse for David Moyes' men early in the second half, with Joel Campbell -on loan at Olympiakos from Arsenal - working the ball onto his left foot 30 yards out and curling brilliantly into the bottom corner.
United did create one late opportunity to salvage something from a forgettable performance, but Robin van Persie lashed over the top with his right foot and the Red Devils now have it all to do if they are to remain in contention for the one piece of silverware still available to them this season.

I don't see why anyone would be surprised with this result. This season, United is a team that drop points to teams the likes of Fulham, while Olympiakos haven't lost a single game in their league. Anyways, thank you David Moyes for another hilarious 90 minutes, comedy at its finest.

How long will it really take before it is worked out that Moyes isnt a top level Manager?
