The match got off in the worst possible way for the hosts as Micky van de Ven for a tap-in, but United failed to respond as they were dominated ion their own patch throughout. Andre Onana prevented the scoreline from being any worse, but Fernandes’ knee-high challenge on James Maddison saw him sent-off right before half-time.
