Manchester United have reclaimed their lead against Real Betis and once again, the goal has come shortly after the referee signaled for play to begin.
Marcus Rashford gave his side an early first-half lead to immediately set the record straight after the defeat at Liverpool last weekend but despite dominating the first half, Real Betis found an equaliser with roughly 10 minutes remaining of the first half.
Ayoze Perez’ fine strike came against the run of play and it was followed by a period of disarray from the Reds but after the interval, Antony scored an incredible curler to reclaim the lead, as seen below.
