PREMIER LEAGUE

Bruno Fernandes ignored the ‘take it easy’ advice against Aston Villa

About Football Express UK

World Cup is on the door steps and every player is playing safe to be fit for the world cup.

Although, Bruno seems to disagree with this idea as he played the game against Aston Villa like it was his last game.

Bruno was one of the key player in a comeback by Manchester United against Aston Villa in the Carabao cup.

Before the match, Cristiano, Bruno, and Dalot were selected for the Portuguese Team for the world cup. Cristiano was given off for the game however Bruno made up for it as he did not make the unavailability of Ronaldo be felt.

He showed the hunger and desire which was missing in the United team against Villa in the earlier premier league loss.

Rashford also celebrated his world cup selection by scoring a goal. Maguire however was not so impressive and his form is still in doubt for the world cup.

Match Report- Manchester United defeated Villa to progress in the tournament

The first half of the game was dull and lacked the excitement that was in their previous clash. However, things took a turn in the second as Villa scored early and United equalized a minute later.

Ramsey played the ball for Watkins who scored it past the debutant Dubravka.19 seconds after the game restarted, Dalot made a pass to Bruno who then assisted to Martial for the equalizer.

Villa once again took the lead in the 61st minute. Ashley Young crossed it into the box for Bailey who came on as a substitution. Bailey headed the ball into dalot’s leg who licked the ball in the net for an own goal.

United did not back down as they once again equalized after 6 minutes thanks to Rashford’s goal. Young tackled Eriksen which resulted in the ball going to Rashford and he did not shy down from shooting it into the net.

Villa’s keeper after 12 minutes made an error which led to a goal.

Olsen kicked the ball to Garnacho who then assisted Bruno as he scored a goal deflected by Mings.

Mctominay assured United’s victory in the stoppage time as he scored a goal thanks to Garnacho’s amazing cross.

Garnacho impressed everyone with his MOTM performance and is turning out to be a starboy for the red devils.

Manchester United progressed to the next round in the Carabao cup and will be facing Burnley in the next round.
