Casemiro's Late Heroics Seal Dramatic Manchester United Win Over Brentford
Casemiro's late header gives Man Utd dramatic win over Brentford

In a thrilling Premier League clash at Old Trafford, Manchester United staged a dramatic late comeback to defeat Brentford 2-1, with Casemiro heading home the winner deep into stoppage time.

The Bees had taken a surprise lead in the 26th minute when Mathias Jensen capitalised on defensive errors to slot past Andre Onana. United struggled to break down Brentford's resilient defence for much of the match, with Erik ten Hag's side booed off at half-time.

The introduction of Scott McTominay in the 87th minute proved inspired as the Scottish international equalised just three minutes later, pouncing on a loose ball in the box. The drama wasn't over though, as Casemiro rose highest in the 93rd minute to meet a Harry Maguire header and secure all three points for the Red Devils.

This victory provides much-needed relief for under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag, though questions remain about United's defensive frailties. Brentford will feel hard done by after coming so close to securing their first league win at Old Trafford since 1937.
