Chris Smalling made the score 2-1 eight minutes later, before Romelu Lukaku scored the equalizer for Manchester United in the 57th minute.

Man United midfielder Nemanja Matic’s strike secured his team’s victory only two minutes before the final whistle.



Despite the victory, Mourinho criticized his team’s performance during the first half, saying, “I don't like my teams to lose organization like we did; we made so many defensive mistakes and I am not only speaking about my defenders. I am speaking about my team generally.”

Manchester United is in second place with 62 points, 16 points behind the leaders, Manchester City.
