Post-Interval Comeback

The goalkeeper returned in a baseball cap to block the sun from the low sun however he'll experience frustration to have allowed United to draw equal after the restart.

Glasner's team was unprepared from a rapid Fernandes set-piece allowing the forward to chest the ball down and pivot in one motion to generate a strike that found the top corner.

Winning Strike

Having survived a frantic moment where Zirkzee almost scored another time defensively, their afternoon got even better shortly afterward as the Dutch attacker was brought down near the 18-yard line by Marc Guéhi.
