Manchester United qualified for the last 16 as the only unbeaten team in the Europa League thanks to second-half goals from Diogo Dalot and Kobbie Mainoo.

The deadlock came from a quick throw in from Amad who found Christian Eriksen. The Dane slipped Kobbie Mainoo into the box and he squared to Diogo Dalot for a tap in. Garnacho then had his say in the second goal. He bombed forward on the left, received the ball from Mainoo then sent it back to the midfielder who side-footed home.
