Ziyech and Mount link up cleverly, and the latter tries to get a shot off amid a sea of red shirts in the box. Lindelof is in the way.

Rudiger sets off on a marauding run from the back, making it all the way to the edge of United’s box. He puts a low cross into the box but it’s intercepted by McTominay.

In England I beat them twice, so since we are in England today let’s keep it going this way.”
