Thursday Recap

Liege missed a golden opportunity to qualify after losing a two-goal lead against Arsenal in Belgium.ย Frankfurt's loss toย Vitoria opened the door for Standard, and if they had held on against the Gunners, they would have advanced.

Samuel Bastien's goal two minutes after half-time gave the hosts the lead, andย Selim Amallah's deflected shot allowed Standard a solid advantage with 21 minutes left.

However, Arsenal responded late, withย Alexandre Lacazette heading home after 78 minutes.ย Bukayo Saka's curling effort levelled the score with nine minutes remaining, denying Standard qualification.

Frankfurt will be grateful for the Gunners' performance after concedingย two late goals in Germany.ย Rochinha gave the visitors a surprise eighth-minute lead, butย Danny da Costa and Daichi Kamada netted for the hosts before half-time.

Al Musrati's goal five minutes from the end appeared to have givenย Vitoria a share of the points, butย Marcus Edwards' long-range shot made it 3-2 three minutes from time.

Manchester United turned on the style and power in the second half after AZ capitulated.ย A tepid opening saw both teams retain the ball without playing with creativity and freedom.

However, the Red Devils, with Mason Greenwood in full flow, scored four goals in quick secession.ย Ashley Young finished at the far post after 53 minutes, leading to Greenwood striking from outside of the box five minutes later.

Greenwood was fouled byย Jordy Clasie in the box, and the United forward hit the ground. The referee pointed to the penaltyย spot, allowing Juan Mata to pass the ball home.

United kept their foot on the gas, and Greenwood once again showed his class with a consummate finish.

The victory gave the Manchester giants top spot, and AZ qualify in second.
