Manchester United who have now started thinking about the final, after the 6-2 victory at home against Roma. In the next match, Arsenal was defeated 2-1 in Spain, but Arteta’s supporters scored the very valuable goal, that as guests.
The first two semi-final challenges in the Europa League are closed. Manchester United have shown their teeth by beating Roma 6-2 at home.
United started the game well, Fernandes scored for 1-0 in the 9th minute.
Roma then shocked the locals by turning everything upside down with goals from Pellegrini and Dzeko in the 15th and 34th minutes for the result of the first half 1-2.
But, the “Red Devils” seem to have listened carefully to the advice of Ole Gunar Solskajer at the break of the first half, as in the second another team came out on the field, overturning everything and scoring four goals.
Initially, Edi Cavani scored two goals, in the 48th minute for 2-2 and in the 64th minute for 3-2.
Later, Pogba, Fernandes and Greewod scored.
Initially, Bruno Fernandes managed to score 4-2 from the penalty spot in the 71st minute.
A few minutes later, to shock Roma, Paul Pogba scored, while for 6-2 he scored in that 86 ‘talent, Greewood, making a big step towards the Europa League final.
The return challenge will take place next week at the “Olimpico”, but today’s result leaves very little room for any surprises in Italy.
Villarreal 2-1 Arsenal
In the other semi-final, Villarreal surprised Mikel Arteta Arsenal, beating them 2-1 in Spain.
Arsenal managed to at least score the goal as guests, which has a really great value in this competition.
Arsenal started the match badly, conceding two quick goals, in the 5 ‘and 29’ minutes.
But, in the second half, in the 73rd minute, Pepe scored the goal of hope for Arsenal.
Arteta team played with one player less than 57 minutes, Dani Ceballos was excluded from the game with red, until in the 80th, everything was balanced with the player, after Capoue got a red card for Villarreal.
The return challenge will take place next week and it will certainly be a really crazy match at the Emirates.
