The goal came as Fred stood on David de Gea’s foot, following an Arsenal corner, and the Spaniard went down injured.

Referee Martin Atkinson didn’t blow his whistle to stop play before Smith-Rowe’s strike hit the back of the net and therefore the goal stood, as it was Fred who fouled his team mate.

Bruno Fernandes equalised in the 44th minute, following a delightful combination from Jadon Sancho and Fred.

Early in the second half Cristiano Ronaldo slotted home a Marcus Rashford cutback, to score his 800th career goal.

However, three minutes later, Martin Odegaard scored with a similar finish to Ronaldo, to bring the scores level to equilibrium.
