Europa: Fernandes sees red as Man Utd fight back against Porto; Spurs win

Bruno Fernandes was shown a red card for the second consecutive game as Manchester United fought back to draw 3-3 against Porto in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Harry Maguire rescued a dramatic draw for 10-man Manchester United after they had surrendered a two-goal lead earlier in the game.

Marcus Rashford opened scoring in the 7th minute and Rasmus Højlund quickly doubled their lead in the 20th minute.

But Porto kept on their push and successfully scored two goals within seven minutes through Pepe and Samu Omorodion to keep the game level at halftime.

The hosts then got ahead for the first time in the game when Omorodion scored his second of the night in the 50th minute, before Maguire rescures a point for the Red Devils.
