Bruno Fernandes Secures Dramatic Win for Manchester United Over Rangers

2025-01-24

Bruno Fernandes scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner to secure a 2-1 victory for Manchester United over Rangers in a thrilling Europa League clash at Old Trafford. The match, which saw both sides battle fiercely, was marked by a mix of defensive errors and moments of brilliance.

United took the lead in the 52nd minute through a comical own goal by Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland, who punched a Christian Eriksen corner into his own net. The hosts dominated much of the game but were unable to capitalise on several chances, leaving the door open for Rangers to equalise late on. Cyriel Dessers delivered a stunning finish in the 88th minute, capitalising on a mistake by Harry Maguire to level the score.

However, Fernandes had the final say, volleying home a cross from Lisandro Martinez in the 92nd minute to snatch victory for United. The win moves United into fourth place in the Europa League standings, putting them in a strong position to secure automatic qualification for the last 16. Rangers, despite their spirited performance, remain in 13th and face a battle to avoid the play-off round.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement expressed mixed emotions after the game, praising his team’s bravery and resilience despite their injury woes. Meanwhile, United boss Ruben Amorim acknowledged his side’s need to be more clinical but was pleased with the character shown to secure the win. The match also saw crowd trouble, with 39 arrests made following clashes between fans in the stands.
