Man Utd led 3-0 two-thirds of the way through the match and thought Ten Hag’s army had secured victory, leaving no chance for Coventry to rise.

In the 63rd minute, coach Robins immediately replaced 3 players to increase Coventry’s attack power. However, his team had nothing to lose.

In the 71st minute, the score suddenly shortened to 1-3. New substitute Tavares crossed the field accurately so that Simms could cushion the ball with a copper pipe and send the ball close to the right post, making Onana unable to block it.

The goal encouraged Coventry to continue attacking.
