Sanchez gave United the lead after 12 minutes, but Suso struck just minutes later to cancel his opener out as the game eventually went to penalties with the Red Devils prevailing 9-8 after an epic shootout.

However, one of the highlights of the game was certainly Sanchez’s goal as after a wonderfully weighted and timed assist from Juan Mata, the Chilean international made no mistake as he kept his composure and slotted the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma.
