A stunning comeback for Manchester United who suffered a humiliating seven-goal defeat once morest Liverpool in the English Premier League a few days ago. In the first leg of the Europa League pre-quarters, Real Betis were crushed 4-1 by Terik Tenhag’s men. Yesterday’s victory was a relief for United and the fans who suffered their heaviest defeat since 1931. ‘You can see how the team reacted following a big setback’ was coach Eric Tenhaag’s reaction following the win.
Marcus Rashford gave the lead to the team with his 26th goal of the season. Only six minutes had passed since the start of the game. However, in the 32nd minute, Ayos Perez’s long shot went into the United net. In the first half, both teams parted with these goals.
However, in the second half, United came out commanding both. It paid off through Anthony in the 52nd minute. Next was the turn of captain Bruno Fernandes, who received a lot of criticism in the last game. The goal came six minutes following Anthony gave the lead. Eight minutes before the end of the game, Vout Wegost also found the target, and the Manchester players got an authentic victory. The United players fired 25 shots at the opposing team’s goal. 13 of these were on net.
