1-1 at full-time*.
The two managers presumably threw cups and plates around in their half-time team talks and both teams came out into the second half looking determined to make a game of it.
Bruno scored a fantastic goal on the counter-attack to put United ahead and everything was going to plan. It was the United of old.
For some reason Dalot then decided to try to break his opponents legs and duly received a second yellow card and took an early bath.
For some reason United’s reserve goalkeeper Bayindir decided to play as erratically as United’s first choice goalkeeper and weakly punched a cross he might have caught into the path of an opponent in his own penalty area and Arsenal equalised with a deflection off the hapless de Ligt.
Then the fun really started.
Maguire put his arm out to stop his opponent who was in the process of dancing past him. Fair enough he went down like he’d been hit by a left hook - even my wife laughed at how pathetic it was. The ref rightly awarded a penalty and Maguire led a group rendition of “Handbags at Dawn”. A couple of players went down as if they’d been headbutted, but they soon got up again when they heard everyone laughing at them.
There was another dramatic turn as Arsenal were about to take the lead when Bayindir produced a miraculous save from the penalty.
Raheem Sterling looked on with some seriously impressive sideburns.
There was lots of end to end stuff after that but I missed most of it making big kid’s tea.
*Extra time will now be played.
