Manchester United produced a pulsating European performance in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Barcelona at Camp Nou in the first leg of their Europa League knockout round play-off.
and Raphael Varane, both of whom were booed throughout – set up very aggressively and frequently breached a Barca defence that has been impenetrable in La Liga.
Barca had enjoyed dangerous spells in the match even if the best chance had fallen to United and shortly after the restart they took the lead from a somewhat unexpected scorer. United responded just two minutes later, however, and it was – inevitably – the brilliant Marcus Rashford who bagged his 14th goal in his last 16 appearances.Fred had failed to pick up Alonso on the corner but he made amends with a perfectly weighted through-ball for Rashford, who fired a ferocious finish past Ter Stegen from an impossibly acute angle at his near post.
A short corner allowed Rashford to weave along the byline before a teasing cross into the box was rather unfortunately bundled into his own net by Jules Kounde.Barcelona’s backline were now finding it impossible to handle the pace and sniping runs of Rashford and he appeared to be shoved over inside the box by Kounde, though the referee waved play on.
