13-12-19 Europa league final day


UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE
MAN UNITED 4-0 AZ ALKMAR
MAGNIFICO MATA
Pereira brilliantly skills his way past two opponents at the left-hand corner flag, backheeling to Mata. He gives it back and Pereira slides infield to Matic, whose first-time ball from just outside the box picks out Mata, who has been busy cutting into a congested penalty area from the left. The Spaniard controls and slides across goal, and though Martial hasn’t anticipated it, meaning the ball rolls across goal without anyone tapping it in, Young pops up well beyond the far post to thunder it into the roof of the net from an acute angle!
Fredrik Midtsjo wins the ball on his right wing and embarks on a ludicrously misguided jog infield, which ends when he’s bang central, 10 yards outside his area, and James Garner tackles him. The ball rolls to Greenwood, who takes one touch and then hits a low left-footer into the corner!
Greenwood is bundled over by Clasie in the penalty area, as clear a penalty as you’re ever going to see. The keeper goes the right way, but Juan Mata’s penalty goes into the right-hand corner anyway!
 Mata passes to Greenwood, just to the right of the penalty area, and he cuts into the box before shooting low and just inside the near post!
THIS PUTS MAN U IN TOP SPOT
MY OPINION
United have shown in this competition and against Liverpool the amount of threat that they pose and they can go forward under their 6young coach and I think that this is pushing them forward and that they learn from their mistakes
WOLVES 4-0 BEKITAS
JOTA JOTTER
A nice flick from Cutrone on the halfway line, brilliant work by Jimenez on the right, and Jota converts at the back stick!
 Dendoncker, from 30 yards, produces a shot massively superior to either of the ones he mustered when facing an empty net, the keeper fingertips it into the post and it rebounds into the path of Jota, who slams it in! Jota only came on in the 56th minute, and he’s got two!
He added a second six minutes later, reacting sharply to turn in when Leander Dendoncker's shot hit the post before the Belgian headed in a third.
Leander Denoncker finally gets his goal, heading in a right-wing corner in the 67th minute. Then two minutes later Pedro Rebocho tries to do a fancy trick on the left flank and is dispossessed, the ball’s crossed in and Jota converts for his hat-trick, completed

THIS PUT WOLVES IN SECCOND SPOT
MY OPINION
The lessons that Wolves are learning this season are amazing and they can bring this type of invention into the Premiere League then anything can still happen. Wolves are still a learning club and are showing signs of moving forward
CRJ CLUJ 2-0 CELTIC
BURCA BRILLIANT
Andrei Burca rose to head the hosts in front three minutes after the restart before Damjan Djokovic stabbed home a second with 20 minutes remaining as Cluj qualified for the knockout stages of a European competition for the first time in their history.
THIS PUTS CELTIC IN TOP SPOT
MY OPINION
Celtic are taking steps in the right direction and are showing the ability to move forward this season and showing also that they have the ability to learn in Europe which is a thing that you do not realise as a Scottish side
STANDARD LEIGE 2-2 ARSENAL
SAKA SEALS IT
 However, Samuel Bastien put the hosts ahead just after the restart when his shot deflected off Sokratis and beyond the wrong-footed Emiliano Martinez.
The goal boosted the hosts but visibly knocked the fragile confidence of the Arsenal players, who became even more nervy when Standard Liege got a second as Selim Amallah's strike from inside the area flew into the far corner via a slight deflection off Konstantinos Mavropanos.
It set things up for a tense final 20 minutes as the hosts pursued an unlikely result but Alexandre Lacazette settled the Gunners' nerves when he converted a bullet of a header.
MY OPINION
Arsenal having this poor result is something to learn from as the new manager will have a focus coming into the new year and of the big ones that are available the Gunners would look like a dream chance
THIS PUTS ARSENAL IN TOP SPOT

GROUP G
PORTO 3-2 FEYNOORD
SUPER SOARES
 Luis Díaz  right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Alex Telles.
Own Goal by Tyrell Malacia, Feyenoord. FC Porto 2, Feyenoord 0.
Eric Botteghin header from very close range to the centre of the goal. Assisted by Orkun Kökcü with a cross following a corner.
Sam Larsson right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Tyrell Malacia with a cross.
Tiquinho Soares right footed shot from very close range to the bottom right corner.
MY OPINION
Porto being on top is a very good thing as Porto are on top but this is a very tight group and anything could have happened including them going out of the whole competition. I think that there was a lot of luck in this game but Porto are now at the right level
RANGERS 1-1 YOUNG BOYS
MOROLOS MAKES MAT
 Young Boys give the ball away and it’s immediately popped through to Morelos. Sörensen screams across to cut it out but makes a complete hash of it, and suddenly Morelos is entirely free! There’s not even anyone there to pretend to be fouled by, so he concentrates on the task in hand and slides a shot past the keeper!
 An almighty scramble ends with Young Boys equalising from Christian Fasnacht
MY OPINION
Having 2 Scottish sides in the last 32 of the Europa League must be seen as a success for Scottish football and for such a young manager to get the second club so far he must be very proud of what he has done both Gerard and Lennon should be seen for English clubs or maybe Lennon as Ni manager when O Neil leaves
