Manchester United came from behind to beat Brentford at Old Trafford for the second year in a row in the Premier League, buying Erik ten Hag some breathing room and ending a run of five games without a win.

United fell behind in controversial circumstances. In first-half stoppage time, Ethan Pinnock headed in a corner while Matthijs de Ligt was off the pitch receiving treatment.

Ten Hag and Ruud van Nistelrooy were both booked for protesting the decision, but it sparked a response from United, and second-half goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund earned United their third league win of the season.

They had come into this fixture on a run of five without a win and with Ten Hag under mounting pressure, but their second-half performance merited victory, and they saw it through without any scares.
