FT: Viktoria Plzen 1-2 Man Utd
It is important to win games when you are not playing well, but it is also just as critical to not get carried away by those wins.
The Red Devils have taken the points here today but there is so much to do get this side back to where they need to be.
This would go down in the category of 'papering over the cracks' victory.
FT: Viktoria Plzen 1-2 Man Utd
The referee brings the game to a close.
Man Utd take all three points in Czechia.
It has been a long time coming, an away win in Europe.

90+4. This is end to end stuff right now.
The amount of times Man Utd have come forward with a number overload and then lost the ball is crazy.
It is like they have never heard of 'game management' before.

90+2. What a chance to wrap this game up.
Man Utd had three players breaking with only one defender in front of them.
Antony played it into the path of Garnacho but his shot is saved by Jedlicka.

90. The Red Devils just need to hold onto what they have now.
Cerv gets forward for the hosts but his cross is blocked for a corner.
We are going to have five added minutes here.

88. Fernandes plays a disguised pass from a free kick into the Dane.
He takes one touch to control it before striking a shot across the keeper into the far corner.
That could be a big goal for Ruben Amorim's team.
Plzen are livid, the handball it was given for looked very dubious.

86. Fernandes went down earlier screaming like he was being tortured by the mafia.
Having seen the replay, there was little if no contact at all.
Despite his creative qualities, he is an embarassment with his diving at times too.
Viktoria Plzen 1-1 Man Utd
84. Time is starting to run out in Czechia now.
A draw does nothing for Amorim's side in the league table.
They need to try and find another goal.
Tottenham starting XI:
Ange Postecoglou goes with pretty much the strongest XI available to him for his return to Glasgow.
20. Forster, 23. Porro, 14. Gray, 6. Dragusin, 13. Udogie, 30. Bentancur, 8. Bissouma, 22. Johnson, 10. Maddison, 16. Werner, 7. Son

In-form Rangers name a strong side for the visit of Premier League side Tottenham this evening:
1. Butland, 2. Tavernier, 5. Souttar, 22. Jefte, 3. Ridvan, 10. Diomande, 43. Raskin, 14. Bajrami, 18. Cerny, 27. Igamane

76. Man Utd are wasting some great chances.
Amad once again does well as he puts it on a plate for Mount.
With only the keeper to beat, he drills it straight at him.

74. Antony tries his luck from distance.
It went high, wide and not so handsome.
Wasted opportunity from the Brazilian.
Viktoria Plzen 1-1 Man Utd
72. Big chance for Plzen.
Adu does brilliantly down the right and his cross picks out Vydra.
He controls it well with his first shot and immediately pulls the trigger.
Sadly for the hosts, it goes wide of the target.
Viktoria Plzen 1-1 Man Utd
70. Sulc breaks for Plzen as he strides towards goal.
Mazraoui does well to get back and win the ball back.
Man Utd counter, Fernandes puts an amazing cross in along the six yard box but Hojlund cannot convert.
Got to be scoring from that delivery.
Viktoria Plzen 1-1 Man Utd
68. Man Utd force a corner as they look for a second.
Fernandes whips it in and de Ligt heads it towards goal.
Everyone is demanding a penalty for handball but the referee is not interested.
Viktoria Plzen 1-1 Man Utd
66. All to play for once again in this one.
It was the sort of quick reply that the Red Devils needed here.
Antony plays it into Hojlund, who collapses to the floor, but the referee waves away the penalty protests.
Viktoria Plzen 1-1 Man Utd
64. Amad does well as he touches it through the legs of the defender, opening himself up for a shot.
The defender manages to block his effort but it ricochets into the path of Hojlund who taps into an empty net.
Hojlund gets his reward for attacking the danger are for a change.

62. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
Man Utd turn to their saviour from the bench to try and turn things around in Czechia.
That's right, Antony is on the pitch.
So is Mount, with the pair replacing Malacia and Zirkzee.
Viktoria Plzen 1-0 Man Utd
60. Sulc plays a terrible backpass from the Man Utd half and sets Hojlund clean through on goal.
For some reason the Danish forward slows down to allow the defender to catch up with him.
He eventually shoots from the edge of the box but it is straight at the keeper and a simple save.
Viktoria Plzen 1-0 Man Utd
58. The only saving grace for the Red Devils is that there is so much of the game remaining.
Plzen cannot afford to look to defend what they have, inviting wave after wave of attack will only end one way.
Against Amorim's side it seems the best form of defence is attack.
Viktoria Plzen 1-0 Man Utd
56. Hojlund has come on for Rashford.
Just what you want when you need a goal, bring a player on who spends no time whatsoever in the penalty area.
Who knows, he may prove everyone wrong this evening.
Viktoria Plzen 1-0 Man Utd
54. Dweh is fouled by Rashford out wide.
The forward's trailing leg wiped the Plzen defender out.
Penny for the thoughts of Onana right now.

52. This is not the start Amorim was hoping at Man Utd.
He is on course to lose three games on the bounce here.
The Portuguese manager may need to consider some changees early on to get back into this game.
