MOMENT OF THE MATCH

Jairo Riedewald’s woeful throw in. The opening goal ultimately came from the 20-year-old’s shocking throw in as he gave away possession on the edge of his own box.

The ball seemed to slip out of his grasp and he gifted the ball to Marcus Rashford in the right channel with the ball eventually finding Paul Pogba for his deflected opener.
