Man Utd vs Brentford: Hojlund rescues Red Devils to help Ten Hag survive another weekend

Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund inspired Manchester United as they came from behind to defeat Brentford 2-1.

The Red Devils struggled to create chances in a cagey first half that saw them extend their Premier League goal drought to 300 minutes.

The half ended in Controversy when Matthijs de Ligt was ordered off in stoppage time, having received treatment twice for a head injury. Brentford capitalized, with Ethan Pinnock heading in a corner to break the deadlock.

The second half saw the hosts finally come to life, as manager Erik ten Hag searched desperately for a lifeline.

Alejandro Garnacho volleyed in a Marcus Rashford cross within two minutes, leveling the score.

The hosts' urgency increased, with Garnacho and Casemiro testing keeper Mark Flekken from distance.

Brentford weathered the storm, but United's pressure paid off. Bruno Fernandes' clever flick released Rasmus Hojlund, who calmly chipped the ball over Flekken to seal the comeback.
