Another three points for the Red Devils as Manchester United maintain their perfect start to the new campaign. Substitute's Marcos Rashford and Marouane Fellaini both came on in the second half of the game and got the goals which kept Jose Mourinho’s side on top of the table. 

 

Juan Mata was denied his first goal of the season from a controversial offside call from the linesman. The reds dominated much of the first half with a couple of attempts on target. Keeper Kasper Schmeichel made a great save from Juan Mata in the first half to keep his team in the contest. 

 

Early into the second half Manchester United were awarded a penalty after Anthony Martial’s shot struck Danny Simpson. Romelu Lukaku stepped up but failed to convert from the spot for what would have been his fourth league goal of the season. 
 

Rashford was introduced into the game replacing Juan Mata and it only took him three minutes to get a goal by converting Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s free kick. Fellaini got Manchester United’s second of the game on the 82nd minute after sticking out his knee from Lingard’s low driven cross.
