Follow usAlejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund helped Manchester United secure a crucial comeback victory against Brentford, ending a five-game winless streak across all competitions and easing some of the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.
Ethan Pinnock put Brentford ahead just before halftime with a powerful header, capitalizing on the moment when Matthijs de Ligt was off the field receiving treatment for a head injury. However, United responded swiftly, with Garnacho equalizing early in the second half with a fierce strike.
The momentum shifted further in United’s favor in the 63rd minute when Bruno Fernandes produced a clever backheel assist to set up Højlund, who calmly chipped the ball over Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken to secure the win.
