Premier League top teams Manchester United and Chelsea both claimed third consecutive win at the European Champions League group stage while AC Milan beat hosting Real Madrid 3-2 with Pato's late goal on Wednesday. Although Salomon Kalou squandered a few chances in front of the visiting Atletico de Madrid , the 24-year-old Ivorian finally proved that he was the right one to replace banned countryman Didier Drogba with one goal each half.
With four minutes remaining in the first half, Kalou drilled in Ashley Cole's cross. Then, seven minutes after the restart, the striker headed home Frank Lampard's corner to make it 2-0.

The visitors seemed losing their determination to fight with two goals behind, giving the Blues more chances to consolidate their dominance at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard played a one-two with Essien in the 69th minute before beating the 20-year-old goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo from the edge of the box. The fourth goal of Chelsea came from Luis Pereathe as the Colombian veteran headed Florent Malouda's free kick into his own net in the stoppage time.
Man United were without five first team regulars against CSKA Moscow as Wayne Rooney, Patrice Evra, Darren Fletcher, Park Ji-sung and Ryan Giggs all stay in Manchester due to injuries. Besides, the Premier League champions have never overplayed any Russian side in Europe after five attempts.
