Man United held at home by Twente in Europa League action

Manchester United hosted FC Twente at Old Trafford in Europa League action on Wednesday night.

Here’s what happened.

Manchester United held to disappointing draw with FC Twente

Scorers: Eriksen 35′; Lammers 68′

A goal and a mistake from Christian Eriksen saw Manchester United held to a 1-1 draw with FC Twente at Old Trafford.

Twente almost opened the scoring when Sam Lammers pulled his shot just centimetres wide of the post.

When the game was looking like a chess match, it was going to take something special to make a breakthrough.

And Christian Eriksen did just that when he delivered a stunning finish from the corner of the box right into the back of the net.

Into the second half and that strike was cancelled out by Lammers, delivering a superb finish at the near post after a lung-busting run from in his own half, the ball given away by Eriksen.

Only an outstanding save from goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall kept Man United from finding a late winner.
