Manchester United beat Brentford with a fantastic comeback at Old Trafford after losing to Crystal Palace last week
McTominay came on to save Manchester United from humiliation after Brentford held onto a one-goal lead till the 93rd minute.
Manchester United beat Brentford at Old Trafford today after nearly losing their 8th-week match. Manchester United suffered a defeat to Crystal Palace last week, and they struggled to win today’s match after Brentford scored in the first half.
The Red Devils won 4 of the last five encounters with Brentford, and Brentford won one. The previous time Brentford defeated Manchester United was on 13 August 2022, when Brentford beat Man United by four goals for the first time in all competitions since a 2-0 victory in the FA Cup in February 1938.
The first 25 minutes of today’s game remained goalless between the clubs until Mathias Jensen connected Yoane Wissa’s assist to Brentford’s first goal in the 26th minute. Brentford held on to their goal for 92 minutes without a response from Manchester United.
The hope for Man United to win today’s match was in doubt because United had not found Brentford’s net into regulation time. A lot was going through Erik Ten-Hag’s mind since the game had nearly ended. In the 87th minute, Ten Hag substituted Sofyan Amrabat for Scott Mctominay.
McTominay’s coming onto the pitch changed the game and created hope for Erik Ten Hag after he scored the equalizer for United in the 93rd minute. Four minutes after Man U’s first goal, McTominay once again connected an assist from Harry Maguire into Brentford’s net to keep Manchester United ahead for the first time in the game.
Manchester United won today’s match with a fantastic comeback after Sofyan Amrabat made way for Scott McTominay, the game-changer, in the 87th minute. This win was a relief for Erik Ten Hag after losing to Crystal Palace last week and poor performances since the start of the season.
