Here’s a look at the full-time game stats.
A fairly even match that ended in a draw, in the end it ended thanks to a more clinical team in the penalty shootout.
After a clever start to Man Utd’s penalty shoot-out in which Bernardo Silva’s penalty was saved by André Onana, it was all downhill from there.
Jadon Sancho was the first to step forward and failed to score, after his penalty was saved by Ederson, right on the post.
