Porto v Manchester United LIVE: Latest score as Red Devils throw away lead in Europa League
Thursday 03 October 2024 21:17 BST
Harry Maguire’s late header salvaged Manchester United from embarrassment and possibly preserved Erik ten Hag’s position as the Europa League encounter with Porto concluded in a dramatic 3-3 draw.
Just four days after suffering a 3-0 defeat at home to Tottenham, the Red Devils managed to set aside the mounting criticism directed at both the players and their beleaguered manager, starting the match in Portugal with commendable vigor.
With goals from Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund, United appeared to be in command. However, the team faltered defensively, allowing Pepe to score, followed by a remarkable brace from Samu Omorodion. Captain Bruno Fernandes received a red card for the second consecutive match, leaving Ten Hag in a precarious position. Nevertheless, Maguire’s timely header from a Christian Eriksen corner in stoppage time ensured that the team secured a valuable point.
