Coach Eric Ten Hag’s team clearly excelled in the first half, and even managed to take the lead in the 19th minute through Scott McTominay. Furthermore, the Scottish midfielder left evidence of one of his greatest attributes on the pitch, which is his arrival into the penalty area. After a cross from Alejandro Garnacho, Harry Maguire shot at Cucurella and the ball fell into the hands of McTominay, who made the score 1-0 with his left foot.

McTominay, at his ease, does not forgive 😉
