Galatasaray beats Manchester United 2-3 at Old Trafford

 

Manchester United’s clash with Galatasaray ended 3-2 in favour of Turkish Super Lig leaders, as Man U lost their Champions League second game in a row.

Rasmus Hojlund scored twice for Mn U but goals from Wilfried Zaha, Kerem Akturkoglu and Mauro Icardi gave Gala the win as Casemiro saw red for the home side after an error from Andre Onana. 

In the first half Rasmus Hojlund put United ahead with a bullet header from a Marcus Rashford cross. The visitors were level just six minutes later, when former Red Devil Wilfried Zaha overpowered Diogo Dalot to scuff a loose ball past Andre Onana.

A brilliant run and finish from Hojulnd restored United’s lead, only for an equally fine finish from Kerem Akturkoglu to pull Galatasaray level a few minutes later 

A mistake from Andre Onana forced Casemiro into conceding a penalty. The Brazilian was then red carded, but Mauro Icardi smashed his penalty wide of the post. The Argentine redeemed himself minutes later, with a cool finish over Onana to seal a memorable victory for Galatasaray.
