Thursday Recap

It was a tough night for United in the Netherlands, with AZ dominating for long spells.

Paul Pogba was not risked on the artificial surface at the Cars Jeans Stadion after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer bemoaned the poor quality of the pitch before the fixture.

DEN HAAG, NETHERLANDS - OCTOBER 3: Fredrik Midtsjo of AZ Alkmaar, Brandon Williams of Manchester United  during the UEFA Europa League   match between AZ Alkmaar v Manchester United at the Cars Jeans Stadium on October 3, 2019 in Den Haag Netherlands (Pho

Brandon Williams was handed a debut for United after Solskjaer made eight changes from his team that started in the 1-1 Premier League draw against Arsenal. Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood also started, but the visitors struggled to create throughout.

Myron Boadu thought he had earned an 11th-minute lead for AZ after finishing past David De Gea, but the forward was ruled clearly offside.

United were clean and tidy with the ball at their feet, but the English giants lacked a cutting edge whenever they advanced forward.

TV presenter Jake Humphrey tweeted his verdict on United:

De Gea was vital for the Red Devils as he resisted AZ's attack, and the Spain international made an important save from Owen Wijndal with 14 minutes remaining.

United believed they had won a penalty moments later after substitute Marcus Rashford was brought down, but with no video assistant referee in operation in the Europa, the spot-kick was not awarded.

Jesse Lingard narrowly missed a good chance to win the game with six minutes remaining, with the England international failing to hit the target.

The Red Devils played their best football in the closing stages with AZ clearly tiring, but United lost Lingard to injury after he pulled up during a last-minute sprint. Solskjaer's team failed to capture three points, and the visitors will be content with a draw.

Arsenal produced one of their best performances of the campaign so far after beating Liege at the Emirates Stadium.

A brace from Gabriel Martinelli gave the Gunners a two-goal advantage after only 16 minutes, and Joe Willock's strike added salt in the Liege wound.

Dani Ceballos completed the scoring in the second half, providing Unai Emery a satisfying night in front of home supporters.

A 93rd-minute winner by Willy Boly gave Wolves a dramatic victory on their visit to Besiktas.

The defender combined with Ruben Neves before calmly slotting home and winning the points.

Besiktas dominated possession for long spells of the match, but the Premier League team won the game with a moment of inspiration from an unlikely scorer.
