After Jadon Sancho scored the equalizer in a dramatic match against Leeds United, Manchester United supporters embraced him warmly upon his return.
Jadon Sancho missed the start against the Red Devils closest rivals because of an illness he suffered earlier this week, Erik ten Hag said prior to the game. The Red Devils were facing an uphill battle when the Englishman eventually entered the game at the hour mark.
Within the first minute, Wilfried Gnonto had given the team without a manager the advantage. Three minutes after the half, Crysencio Summerville's shot was deflected into his own goal by Raphael Varane, doubling the lead.
Facundo Pellistri and Jadon Sancho were replaced in a double substitution shortly before Marcus Rashford smashed home a header to give Manchester United the lead. And in more ways than one, the comeback was finished in the 70th minute.
Jadon Sancho made a cut inside and somehow managed to score to tie the game. After sprinting off in excitement, the England international imitated Rashford by pointing to his head.
Fans of the former Dortmund player were obviously thrilled, both at home and at the stadium. Here are some tweets from fans.
