Manchester United manager, Eric Ten Hag felt it use to dismiss Marcus Rashford for planting his foot on the ankle of Elias Jelert changed the game. Referee Donatas Rumsas would be called to the pitch side to monitor twice more in the game. To award a penalty to each side for handball of both described as soft by former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes.

In addition, everything seemed to be going swimmingly for United  after arguably their most accomplished 25 minutes of the season at the start of Wednesday game. Rasmus Hojlund two close range finish in a period of purpose and precision had the visitors in complete control.
