After an awful opening 45 minutes, Manchester united emphatically turned the match on its head as the Red Devils produced a prolific second half to down Brentford 3-1.

Manchester united struggled to get grips with Brentford’s energy in the first half. Two big saves from David Degea kept the scores level at break. The deadlock was broken after 10 minutes when the second half started.

Fred picked out Anthony Elanga with a beautiful cross and was finished superbly with a cushioned header by the 19 year old.

Ivan Toney scored the consolation goal for the home side five minutes before full time. With the win, united moves level with arsenal on 35 points.
