Then, in the 88th minute, Anthony Martial popped up to score the winning goal! He took a long pass from Bruno Fernandes and smashed it past the keeper for the second goal.
It was a tense finish, but United held on to claim a crucial win. The victory was vital as it kept the pressure on their rivals in the title race. The Red Devils are now looking to build on this momentum as they enter the business end of the season. We're definitely excited to see what's next!
