Review
Wow. A huge record fell today; we ended a 12-game and 29-year losing streak to Manchester United! We also won consecutive games for the first time this season and It was all thanks to wonderful, powerful and well-placed strikes from Nicolas Dominguez and then Morgan Gibbs-White that left Onana and their defence flat-footed and Matt Turner relieved. His pass out allowed Rashford to equalize against the run of play, but we took so much of the game to them today that anything less than a win would have been a travesty.
