- Mata scoring the match-winning goal.
United, despite playing at home, was dominated by Watford showing complete lack of awareness in the game. The Reds had been poor in the attack throughout the whole 90 minutes and were very lucky to not have conceded a goal.
In the later minutes of the second half, Martial was on a run with the ball towards Watford’s penalty box and was brought down by Britos, who was booked for the awkward challenge on the French striker. Mata rose to the occasion by scoring off the free-kick which was awarded, putting LVG’s men in lead.
The Hornets’ keeper, Gomes had no chances and it completely left him stranded.
