Maguire saves Man United, Spurs win at Ferencvaros

BUDAPEST :Harry Maguire's stoppage-time header earned Manchester United a dramatic 3-3 draw at Porto in the Europa League group stage on Thursday as Tottenham Hotspur won 2-1 at Ferencvaros.

England defender Maguire, a late substitute, salvaged a point for his team who led 2-0 after 20 minutes before conceding three goals and having their captain Bruno Fernandes sent off to stand on the verge of another damaging defeat.

Marcus Rashford put United ahead in the seventh minute and Rasmus Hojlund added a second, but Porto quickly narrowed the gap through Pepe's header and Samu Omorodion equalised before halftime and put Porto ahead five minutes into the second half with a close-range strike.

Spurs claimed a 2-1 win at Ferencvaros thanks to goals in each half from Pape Sarr and Brennan Johnson.

Senegalese midfielder Sarr opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, taking advantage of a loose ball to calmly slot a precise right-foot shot into the far corner and substitute Johnson doubled the lead for the English side four minutes from time with a left-foot strike from inside the box.

Ferencvaros grabbed a consolation goal in stoppage time through Varga, but it was not enough to deny Spurs victory in their first-ever match against Hungarian opponents.

MATCH HALTED

Anderlecht won 2-1 at Real Sociedad who took an early lead through Pablo Marin before Luis Vazquez and Theo Leoni scored for the Belgian side to turn the game around.

The match was briefly halted in the first half as visiting fans hurled objects on to the pitch from the lower stand, resulting in the arrest of two Anderlecht supporters.
