VIDEO: Wilderness in Manchester. The Theatre of Dreams saw their darlings turn and also three red cards in one minute!

A match that must have been really entertaining. The impartial spectators throughout the match, the visiting ones until the 73rd minute when everything broke and the home ones especially from that moment on. The Theatre of Dreams witnessed three red cards, a converted penalty and the subsequent Red Devils turnaround.

At the same time, the home side didn’t enter the game completely well and the picture of the game certainly didn’t look as predicted before the game or as the odds written by the bookmakers suggested.

The match was at least even. The more courageous and active visitors got their reward after the change of sides when Aleksandar Mitrovic opened the scoring in the 50th minute after a corner kick.

The game looked much the same after the opening goal. The huge breakthrough came in the 71st minute when a quick action down the right side was pulled off by Antony, who was still improving his position on Sancho with a pass to the middle.

The latter took the ball, rounded the goalkeeper, eventually stuck still in front of goal to let the defending stopper run over and the ball was eventually stopped on the goal line by the visiting Willian on its way into the net. But as the video showed, it was with his hand.

This was evident especially from the camera behind the goal. Against the rules, Willian really increased the volume of his body and because he prevented the goal, there had to be a red card.

This was very unpleasant for the visiting coach Marco Silva, who was too much involved in watching that incriminating moment and saw the red card too.

But who took it the hardest was the Serbian goal scorer Mitrovic. He even pushed the referee Kavanagh and he had no choice but to draw the red card from his pocket again. Three red cards in one minute.

Mitrovic then chased the referee around the pitch for a while and he can be glad he backed away from him. Because if he had stopped, the Serbian would have knocked him down and that would probably have been dealt with even more and a longer penalty.

A penalty kick in the 75th minute was converted with ease by Bruno Fernandes to kick off his team’s turnaround. Marcel Sabitzer made it 2-1 just two minutes later with his first goal in a United jersey, a heel shot.

Fernandes finished off a nice move into an already open defence with a shot to the far post to make it 3:1 and his second goal of the game.
