Emmanuel Bonaventure and Odion Ighalo (Club Brugge 1 Vs 1 Manchester United)

Nigerian forward Emmanuel Bonaventure stung Manchester United with a goal in Bruges. The goal came in the 15th minute when he got to a long pass just outside Manchester United’s area and lobbed the ball past an onrushing Sergio Romero into an empty net. The game ended 1-1 after Anthony Martial scored to level for Manchester United.
