Manchester United Tops Brentford 2-1 at Home

Manchester United achieved a much-needed 2-1 comeback victory against Brentford, showcasing resilience and improved mental fortitude after struggling earlier in the season. The match saw Brentford take the lead just before halftime through Ethan Pinnock, who scored from a corner while United's Matthijs de Ligt was off the pitch receiving treatment for a head injury. In response, United equalized shortly after the break with Alejandro Garnacho's first-time volley from a Marcus Rashford cross, followed by Rasmus Højlund's deft chip over the Brentford keeper to secure the win. The match highlighted United's attacking capabilities, with performance ratings reflecting positive contributions from Garnacho and Højlund. Despite early disorganization, United's second-half display was marked by a more potent offense, demonstrating their potential to recover from setbacks. This victory marked their first win since mid-September, providing a lift for manager Erik ten Hag and the team.
