Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has fired the Reds into the lead in their Third Round Carabao Cup tie against Championship outfit Luton Town tonight.
United have endured a somewhat underwhelming first-half after failing to break Luton town’s regimented back-line.
However, a breakthrough finally came just before the end of the first-half when left-back Brandon Williams went down under a poor challenge just inside the box.
The referee wasted no time pointing the spot and up stepped Mata who neatly tucked the spot-kick home.
1-0 to United as they go into the break with one foot in the cup’s Fourth Round.
