Man United vs Omonia LIVE: Europa League result and final score as Scott McTominay fires last-minute winner
Manchester United 1-0 Omonia Nicosia: McTominay finally found a way through for United with their 33rd shot after an inspired perforance from goalkeeper Francis Uzoho
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
60 mins: Chance! This move deserved a goal as a long diagonal comes into the box and gets chested down by Hugo Vetlesen who perfectly sets up Runar Espejord for a first time effort that he drills over the top.
These are nervous times for Arsenal.
Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal
57 mins: Close! The home side are getting closer. Ola Solbakken receives the ball on the right wing and drives it up to the box. The Gunners’ defenders drop away from him and he cuts onto his left foot before lacing a nice strike just a few inches over the crossbar!
Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal
54 mins: Save! Pellegrino is fed into space on the left side as Arsenal let their intensity levels drop. The forward carries the ball into the box but doesn’t look up and spot Solbakken at the back post waving his arms.
Instead he goes it alone and side-foots a decent effort over to the far corner but Matt Turner dives low and keeps it out with a strong hand!
Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal
51 mins: Arsenal look to slowly build out from the back with Saliba squaring the ball over to Rob Holding who fails to control it properly and lets the ball roll out of play for a Bodo/Glimt throw in.
Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal
48 mins: Shot! Arsenal sweep up the pitch with Nketiah laying the ball off to Odegaard who sends it over to Nelson on the left side. He cuts into the middle and hopes to curl a shot towards the far corner but spoons his effort well wide of the target.
Second half: Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal
Kick off: Arsenal get the match in Norway back underway. It’s so far, so good for the Gunners and they’ll want another goal or two to comfortable claim all three points.
