Scott McTominay’s Stoppage-Time Brace Rescues Manchester United in Sensational Premier League Victory Over Brentford at Old Trafford Manchester United found themselves on the brink of suffering their third consecutive home league defeat, a scenario not witnessed since 1977, following Mathias Jensen’s first-half strike that put Brentford in the lead.
With just three minutes remaining, manager Erik ten Hag turned to Scott McTominay in a desperate bid to salvage the match, and the Scottish midfielder delivered in spectacular fashion.
McTominay exhibited superb ball control as he clinically slotted in the first goal, capitalizing on Kristoffer Ajer’s botched clearance inside Brentford’s penalty area.
Then, following a saved low shot by Anthony Martial from Thomas Strakosha, McTominay reacted swiftly to a header by Harry Maguire, sealing the victory with a crucial finish.
The home crowd continued to celebrate long after the final whistle, with the team embarking on a lap of honor—a jubilant spectacle entirely justified by the extraordinary turn of events in the match.
