Harry Maguire rescues a dramatic draw for 10-man Manchester United after they had surrendered a two-goal lead - and had Bruno Fernandes sent off - at Porto in the Europa League.
Harry Maguire rescued a dramatic draw for 10-man Manchester United after they had surrendered a two-goal lead - and had Bruno Fernandes sent off - at Porto in the Europa League.
Just 14 minutes after United had gone 2-0 up, the hosts were level as Joao Mario's cross was headed in powerfully by Samu Omorodion. Despite salvaging something from the game, United have won only three of their first 10 matches of the season and, for the fourth European away game in a row, they failed to win despite having scored three goals.Having been reduced to 10 men and let a two-goal lead slip, it is understandable United will be pleased to leave Porto with a point.
Backed by a vociferous home crowd, Porto were always going to respond but United seemed completely ill-prepared for the inevitable. The visitors did not heed the warning of left-back Francisco Moura bursting through a wide open space two minutes after the break and, three minutes later, Pepe ran through a seemingly oblivious United backline before squaring for Samu to score.But they remained vulnerable at the back with keeper Andre Onana having to get down well to deny Samu his hat-trick.
