‘It was a reality check’ – Erik ten Hag on City match ahead EL match against Omonia

Scott McTominay struck a last-minute winner to save Manchester United from embarrassment in the Europa League after Erik ten Hag’s side were held for 93 minutes by Omonia Nicosia and an inspired perforance from goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.

United dominated the match at Old Trafford but were frustrated by Uzoho, who was only starting due to an injury to first-choice Fabiano, and scored with their 33rd shot on goal.

Uzoho made several key saves to deny Marcus Rashford while Casemiro rattled the crossbar, before Omonia wasted a golden opportunity just before the break as Bruno blazed wide when the visitors had a two-on-one.

The Nigeria international Uzoho then made a brilliant double save to deny Antony and then Rashford from close range, before the England forward pushed a one-on-one well wide of the target.

McTominay’s winner keeps United’s hopes of beating Real Sociedad to top spot in Group E alive with two games remaining. Follow live reaction to United’s late win, below:

Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal

90 mins: Three minutes of added time to play. Bodo/Glimt are still dominating possession but aren’t causing many problems for Arsenal.

It’s been a professional performance from them as they’ve been asked to defend for quite a while now.

Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal

81 mins: Into the fina 10 minutes now ans it’s Bodo/Glimt who are forcing the issue by knocking the ball around the edge of the Arsenal penalty area. Gronbaek works it over to the left side where a deflection almost puts it out of play.

Tomiyasu keeps it alive but knocks it back to the home side who send a cross into the middle. The bal seemingly hits Lokonga and there’s a shout for handball but nothing comes from it.
