With the return of the starting midfielder, United managed to control the match and propose the actions of the game. Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes ensured a lot of quality in setting up the plays and put pressure on the opponent’s ball.
In the 31st minute of the match, the Brazilians from Nottingham, Danilo and Felipe, failed and allowed Anthony Martial to steal the ball and risk a shot on goal. Keylor Navas defended, but Antony took advantage of the rebound and opened the scoring away from home.
