English Premier League 2023-24: Manchester United play Lucky 1-1 draw with Brentford, Mason Mount, Kristoffer Ajer score in stoppage time

Manchester United were fortunate to draw 1-1 against Brentford in their 2023-24 English Premier League match on Sunday (March 31). Completely against the run of play, United took the lead in stoppage time with substitute Mason Mount’s effort past Mark Flekken. With victory in sight, United were awarded three minutes later when Ivan Toney cut the ball back inside the area for the unmarked Kristoffer Ajer, who scored his second goal in two games in the tie. Brentford’s players kept United goalkeeper Andre Onana busy – he made four saves – and hit the woodwork four times. The uninspired display further dented MUFC’s UEFA Champions League hopes. The club now sit in sixth place, eight points behind fifth-placed Tottenham.
