Harry Maguire opened the scoring for Manchester United against FC Copenhagen with a stunning header.
Even though the goal was checked by VAR, it was allowed because Maguire managed to stay onside before heading the ball past the Copenhagen goalkeeper.
It could be a huge goal for United and it will certainly be a moment to remember for Maguire, who has been questioned a lot over the past 12 months. Tonight he has provided the goods when the team needed him most.

It was a dull affair in the first-half as United lacked any real sense of urgency.
Erik ten Hag made a change at the break, replacing Sofyan Amrabat with Christian Eriksen, and the game opened up as a result.
It was Eriksen who provided the assist for Maguire’s goal, too.
We’ve finally got our goal through Maguire, although I wouldn’t say no to a second to give us that extra cushion.
