The Austrian coach's players started strongly rightfully went ahead through Jean-Philippe Mateta's second penalty attempt. Yet they were unable to convert superiority into goals after previously struggling to net versus Palace, United struck back twice in nine minutes from the Dutch forward and the English midfielder.

Frustrating Afternoon against Glasner's Side

The United manager likely maintained his feelings controlled when proceeding toward the dressing room right after the final whistle.

Lineup Adjustments

A further accurate delivery from the England international lured Leny Yoro toward the tackle and, having just made superb interception to stop the winger, the young defender had to trip Mateta inside the area.

After Break Recovery

Winning Strike

Having survived a goalmouth scramble as the forward came close again at the wrong end, their day improved further shortly afterward when the Netherlands forward was tripped outside the penalty area by Marc Guéhi.

There was a moment's hesitation in the defensive wall when Fernandes rolled the free-kick to Mount permitting Mount to defeat the goalkeeper using a fierce strike.
