Garnacho and Hojlund on the Scoresheet as United Come from Behind to Defeat Brentford 2-1


Here Is The Easy Money-Making Trick Everyone Is Talking About! Learn More Here!

Manchester United staged a remarkable comeback to secure a vital 2-1 victory over Brentford at Old Trafford, easing pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.

The hosts went into halftime trailing 1-0 after Ethan Pinnock scored a controversial header in injury time, taking advantage of Matthijs de Ligt’s absence due to a head injury.

However, United responded immediately after the break.

Alejandro Garnacho ended the team’s 316-minute Premier League goal drought with a stunning first-time finish from Marcus Rashford’s cross just two minutes into the second half.

Rasmus Hojlund then secured the win in the 62nd minute, capitalizing on a brilliantly flicked pass from Bruno Fernandes to chip the ball over Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken.

Following a slow start to the season, this victory against Brentford is critical ahead of their upcoming Europa League fixture against Fenerbahce.

With United beginning the match in 14th place, a loss would have intensified negative sentiment surrounding ten Hag’s managerial position.
