Man Utd 2-1 Brentford Stats: Ten Hag’s Men Come From Behind to Sting Bees

Erik ten Hag’s side earn a much-needed win, and first in over a month. Check out the best facts and Opta data in our Man Utd vs Brentford stats page.

Manchester United earned their first win in over a month after coming from behind to beat Brentford 2-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Ethan Pinnock headed the visitors in front just before half-time, only for Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund to score in the second half to turn things around and help relieve the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.

Garnacho in particular impressed. The Argentine had eight shots in the game, his joint-most in a Premier League match (also eight vs Chelsea in December 2023 and against Luton in February 2024).
