Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Old Trafford. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks surprising Manchester United FC does not make any changes. Cristiano Ronaldo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 7' Goal! Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 152 goal in 519 matches.
  • 12' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 17' Jonathan Rowe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 22' Diogo Dalot has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 27' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Victor Nilsson-Lindelof made 409 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 32' GOAL! Cristiano Ronaldo scores on 32. Assisted by Alex Telles
  • 37' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Norwich City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 42' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Alex Telles suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' GOAL! Kieran Dowell scores on 45. Assisted by Teemu Pukki
  • 51' Norwich City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 52' What an equalizer from Teemu Pukki!
  • 53' GOAL! Teemu Pukki scores on 53.
  • 58' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Norwich City FC that had 368 games and scored 460 goals.
  • 63' The Manchester United FC manager makes a substitution. Jesse Lingard departs to be replaced by Nemanja Matic.
  • 64' The whistle greets Jesse Lingard as he departs to be replaced by Nemanja Matic.
  • 69' Manchester United FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 73' Billy Gilmour is replacing Kenny McLean for the Norwich City FC side.
  • 74' Another substitution for Manchester United FC to replace Alex Telles by Mata on 74 minute.
  • 76' What an equalizer from Cristiano Ronaldo!
  • 81' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tim Krul, as he is very good at scoring at Old Trafford with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 82' Another change for Norwich City FC made on 82 minute. Pierre Lees Melou leaves to be changed by Jonathan Rowe.
  • 87' Manchester United FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • The final score is 3-2.
