Victor Nilsson Lindelöf did not arrive when Pierre Emerick Aubameyang was released. The Swede was not prepared for the opening pass but should not be overloaded, it came from his back colleague Axel Tuanzebe. The left calf's mis-calibrated wide side went straight into the gap on Bukayo Saka which put it in deep at Aubameyang. The assisted referee raised the flag but after VAR examination it was established that Harry Maguire was far from successful in putting the striker offside.
In the end of the match, Marcus Rashford was a hero with a hard free kick, but Bernd Leno got his left hand and steered away.
