MANCHESTER – Manchester United finally succeeded in winning full points in the 2023-2024 English Premier League against Brentford. In the 8th week match at Old Trafford, Manchester, Saturday (7/10/2023) evening, the Red Devils won dramatically 2-1 over their guests.
Playing as hosts, MU fell behind first, after Mathias Jensen put Brentford ahead in the 26th minute. Not wanting to be embarrassed again, Erik ten Hag’s squad continued to try to score goals.
Finally, the long-awaited goal was scored at the end of the match. Scott McTominay scored a brace in the 90+3′ and 90+7′ minutes.
The Course of the Game
Manchester United played passively at the start of the match. Appearing in front of their own supporters, the Red Devils were actually bombarded by attacks from the visiting team.
Even so, MU managed to anticipate a number of attacks well. Entering the middle of the match, the Red Devils tried to build attacks slowly.
However, they conceded in the 26th minute due to a defensive error. Casemiro’s undercooked pass was then put to good use by the Brentford players. Mathias Jensen, who was unmarked, then fired a shot which resulted in a goal.
After the goal, buying and selling attacks occurred until entering the final minutes of the first half. In the end, Brentford was able to beat Manchester United 1-0 in the first half.
Entering the second half, MU brought in Christian Eriksen to increase their attacking power. Unfortunately, the Danish player was unable to make a significant impact until midway through the match.
