Manchester United vs Brentford 2-1: English Premier League – as it ...

“We played a very good game in every minute, also in the first half. But we were 1-0 down, so we just kept pushing because we were playing a good game.

“Finally, I scored and Rasmus [Hojlund] too, and we won the game, and that’s important,” Garnacho told the Premier League’s broadcast.

Asked if being down to 10 men during Pinnock’s goal provoked anger for a comeback, he said: “Yeah, we were a little bit angry because [we were down to] 10 players and also out of time, so we conceded the goal.

“But when we came to the dressing room, the manager said, ‘Let’s play like this because we are doing a very good game. We have to fight for each other.’ And then we came back into the game.

“I think I played a very good first half. I missed some chances, … but we had a quick goal in the second half, and the mentality was different. We were more confident and scored a great goal. So I’m very happy.”

Asked if the victory would ease some pressure off the team, the winger said: “It’s a very important game because the fans deserved a win. We have to keep fighting and win again.”
