Manchester United took a big step towards the Europa League final when they defeated Roma 2: 5 tonight (Thursday) at Old Trafford, in the first game of the semi-final.

The visitors suffered from terrible misfortune, lost their first goalkeeper and had to make three more substitutions in the first half due to injuries.

Already after five minutes Jordan Verto was injured and replaced by Gonzalo Vier.

Bruno Fernandez gave Manchester the lead in the 9th minute thanks to a Edinson Cavani header.

In the 15th minute Paul Pogba touched the hand in the box, and Lorenzo Pellegrini equalized from the penalty spot.

In the 28th minute, guest goalkeeper Pau López was injured in the hand and went down for treatment, when Antonio Mirante came in his place.

In the 33rd minute Roma completed the turnaround with a great goal from Edin Dzeko and went up to 1: 2, but four minutes later Paulo Fonseca had to make a third and final substitution even before the break because Leonardo Spinazzola was also injured.

In the second half Kabani was solely responsible for the demonic upheaval.

The Uruguayan scored in the 48th minute and equalized to 2: 2, and in the 64th minute returned the advantage to the host.

In the 71st minute, Fernandez raised United to 2: 4 with a penalty that squeezed - who if not - Kabani.

4 minutes later Pogba scored the host's fifth and Mason Greenwood (86) signed for a result that brought his team closer to the final.
