Relieved Manchester United come from behind to sink Brentford
Rasmus Højlund’s winner was a strike of certifiable skill and will bring a calmer vibe to Erik ten Hag and his troubled Manchester United after they claimed three points for the first time since the defeat of Southampton in mid-September.
On 62 minutes Brentford were pinned back by their right corner flag. The ball was claimed, Christian Eriksen slid a pass to Bruno Fernandes, and his no-look flick to Højlund was as sweet as the striker’s deft dink over Mark Flekken as Brentford’s visiting goalkeeper went to ground.
