Brentford 1-1 Manchester United highlights and reaction as Mount and Ajer score in added time – Manchester Evening News. Sport. All the reaction after a poor Man Utd performance despite Mason Mount’s stoppage time goal. Bookmark. Manchester United had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Brentford in the Premier League this evening, after a poor showing at the Gtech Community Stadium.. After a thrilling 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup in their previous match before the international break, United hoped to take that good form into this game, yet their Champions League qualification hopes took another hit with two dropped points.. United conceded a whole heap of chances, with Brentford very wasteful in front of goal. The visitors thought they had nicked a 1-0 win when Mason Mount, scoring his first ever goal for the club, netted in stoppage time after coming on as a substitute. But United’s joy didn’t last long as Kristoffer Ajer levelled almost straight away for the Bees.. It marked the end of a chastening evening for United, who were second best for long periods.. See all the reaction to the game on MEN Sport’s live blog below.. FT: Brentford 1-1 Man United. GOAL! Brentford 1-1 Man United (Ajer). GOAL! Brentford 0-1 Man United (Mount). HT: Brentford 0-0 Man United. KICK OFF. Dominic Booth. United gesture to fans. Credit to the United fans who travelled to London for this one (and had a tough match to watch). The club have given away shirts as a gesture of goodwill.. Dominic Booth. Toney’s reaction. The Brentford striker is speaking to Sky Sports right now:. “I feel like it’s points dropped. We just looked at the stats, we don’t know how we didn’t score more than one goal. We hit the woodwork, we created lots of chances.”. Dominic Booth. Onana stands tall. If anyone (apart from Mount) in United colours comes away with any credit from tonight’s encounter, it will be Andre Onana. He made a number of key saves.. Dominic Booth. Player ratings. The United player ratings are in from Samuel Luckhurst after a chaotic evening. Mason Mount comes off better than most.. You can read them in full here. Mason Mount’s late goal was cancelled out for Man United vs Brentford (Image: Justin Setterfield). KEY EVENT. FT: Brentford 1-1 Man United. The game just went on, and on, and on. And rarely did United look like winning it, apart from a golden minute or two between the Mount and Ajer strikes. In the end, the 1-1 draw flatters United far more than it does Brentford. A 1-0 win would have represented larceny.. The whistle for full-time finally goes with the clock showing almost 104 minutes. A mad game.. 90 mins + 12, 1-1Dominic Booth. Handbags. United send in a couple of late set pieces, but Martinez is penalised after a grapple in the Brentford box, with McTominay and Maupay then coming to blows. It’s all happening.. 90 mins + 10, 1-1Dominic Booth. United poor at the back. You can’t say the home side didn’t deserve that. We’re now into the 100th minute of this game. It may go on even longer. United haven’t defended well at all tonight and that Ajer goal was just another example.. KEY EVENT. GOAL! Brentford 1-1 Man United (Ajer). Well that didn’t last long. It’s 1-1! Ajer fires home the levller!. 90 mins + 7, 0-1Dominic Booth. Mount’s first goal. You would never believe it. Mason Mount has popped up with a vital first goal for United, a fine left-footed finish at the near post to cue bedlam among the away fans.. SMASH. AND. GRAB.. KEY EVENT. GOAL! Brentford 0-1 Man United (Mount). Incredible! Mason Mount might just have won it for Manchester United!. 95 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. It’s not happening. Fernandes plays a teasing cross into the box but United get themselves in a muddle on the edge of the area and can’t work a chance. McTominay then fouls to let Brentford off the hook – and give them another set piece.. 90 mins + 4, 0-0Dominic Booth. Late effort?. Smash and grab time? United actually have the ball in Brentford’s half for a change and will look to create something. They still have a fair bit of attacking talent on the pitch.. 90 mins + 2, 0-0Dominic Booth. Head bandage for Dalot. It might be even more than nine minutes, given the length of that delay after the clash between Dalot and Maupay. The United full back has had his head strapped up.. Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United reacts during the Premier League match against Brentford. Dominic Booth. Added time. NINE added minutes.. 90 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Clash. There is some respite again for United as Dalot buys a foul off Maupay inside his own box, with box players clutching their faces after that skirmish. There should be a hefty amount of added time, you’d think, which doesn’t really benefit United given they don’t look like scoring.. At this point, 0-0 would be a result.. 88 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Onslaught. 28 shots and counting…. 87 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Maupay on. Toney’s free-kick is wide. How many shots has he had tonight?. Neal Maupay is coming on for the home side, as they push for the late winner that their play has (more than) deserved. Any late United win would be a complete robbery.. 85 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Free-kick on the edge. Toney thinks he’s through once more but Maguire does well to hold him up and United get bodies back. Casemiro then fells Mbeumo right on the edge of the box. More nerves coming up here…. 83 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. United walking a tightrope. It’s hard to keep track of all these Brentford crosses and shots, and of all the times United have had to hack it clear or that Onana has saved or parried away.. Suffice to say, it’s happened a lot and it’s still happening.. 81 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Fernandes shot. Fernandes gets a run on the defence and fires a pretty tame left footed shot at goal, which isn’t troubling anyone. Mount’s first act of the game is to be penalised for a foul on Ajer.. 80 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Double sub for United. Mason Mount and Casemiro replace Mainoo and Rashford.. 79 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Crossbar again. Mbeumo has hit the crossbar this time! Once again the woodwork saves United. Toney and Mbeumo almost got in each other’s way as they tried to latch onto a Route One ball from Flekken. United still didn’t deal with it and allowed the shot.. (Image: 2024 Getty Images). 78 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Lewis-Potter chances. A game of head tennis ensues in the United box, with Maguire again getting very tight to Toney. It ends with Lewis-Potter firing a shot at goal (how many has he had tonight?) with Onana holding onto it.. 76 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Can United salvage something?. Into the final 15 minutes and can United conjure up anything at all? This is looking like being a very dispiriting evening, even if United somehow managed to keep Brentford at bay. The Bees will be furious not to win.. 74 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. United lucky. VAR confirms that. No goal.. 73 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Goal?. Toney thinks he’s scored for Brentford but the flag goes up.. Replays show the assistant referee has got it JUST right. Fine margins!. 72 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Antony goes close. Damsgaard is also on for the hosts, as Rashford runs into another blind alley down the United left. Antony then curls one and it’s not far away at all. That was classic Antony, cutting onto his left and trying to find the far corner.. 70 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Mbeumo on. More last-ditch stuff from United, more Brentford pressure, largely in the form of corners. Wan-Bissaka turns this one away and then the corner comes in from the left and ends with an attempted overhead kick from Lewis-Potter. It’s over the bar.. Bryan Mbeumo is about to make his entrance. Wissa is the man replaced.. 68 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. Martinez coming on. Here comes the next change, and it’s a defensive one, with Lisandro Martinez set to replace Lindelof. It looks like the Swede is injured, he’s been down clutching his hamstring. All the while United will shortly have a corner to defend. Because they’ve spent all game defending corners.. 67 mins, 0-0Dominic Booth. McTominay wide. McTominay takes a potshot on the run, but he’s off balance and it goes well wide. How long before Ten Hag makes another change? A penny for Mason Mount’s thoughts…. Top Stories
