Manchester United made it five consecutive wins on Saturday, mounting an impressive victory against Middlesbrough. It wasn’t that they beat Boro that made it so impressive, it was how they beat them. The Red Devils channeled a vintage come-from-behind performance to fend off the visitors.
United were the better team for the balance of the match and even had a sublime effort from Zlatan Ibrahimovic shamefully waved off. A goal in the 67th minute from Boro looked like a classic smash-and-grab job, and all the momentum United had built in the previous month seemed squandered.#ICYMI Pogba wanted to give #MUFC fans something other than the New Year to celebrate. #PLonNBC pic.twitter.com/ZfzUmvxKLL— NBC Sports Soccer (@NBCSportsSoccer) December 31, 2016
But an equalizer from Anthony Martial, off a perfectly placed header from Ibrahimovic, put United back on the front foot.
