Just like the Red Devils did in the first leg, Erik ten Hag’s men were forced to come from behind after Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the first half. 

The Reds hit back immediately after the restart, with Fred’s quick-fire strike on the edge of the area beating Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. With just shy of 20 minutes to go, a handful of blocked shots in front of the away goal saw the ball ultimately fall to Antony, who guided his finish wonderfully into the far corner to give the Reds the lead.manutd
