In a thrilling match that saw plenty of twists and turns, Manchester United secured a 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, with debutant Amad Diallo playing a key role in the victory. The match got off to a flying start, with Alejandro Garnacho giving United an early lead in just 48 seconds. However, Bodo/Glimt fought back through two quick-fire goals, only for Rasmus Højlund to level the score before halftime and then seal the win with a second goal just five minutes into the second half.
While United’s win was a highlight of the evening, other matches in the Europa League had their own share of drama and excitement. Roma , who were denied a late winner by Manchester United, salvaged a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur, with an equalizer in stoppage time extending their unbeaten run in the competition.

The Gers will take confidence from the win, which sees them take a huge step towards securing a spot in the knockout stages.
Post-Match Analysis from Chris Boyd
"I was actually very impressed with Amad’s debut, he showed a good football IQ and ability to read the game. His link-up play was excellent, and he was a threat throughout. Of course, United were lucky to win, but it was a thrilling match that had it all. Rangers, on the other hand, were very impressive in their 4-1 win over Nice. While they didn’t visit their usual first-half naivety, they controlled the game from start to finish and deserved the win. It was a big night for them in Europe, and one that will give them a boost in their push for the knockout stages."
