Everyone is raving about Martial v Copenhagen

The France international did not get on the scoresheet in Cologne, but he undoubtedly played an influential role in securing our 1-0 win in Germany and earning progression to the competition’s last four.

Most notably, Martial won the extra-time penalty from which Bruno Fernandes scored the winning goal, ending 95 minutes of frustration against a stubborn and well-organised Danish defence.

Anthony also registered four shots of his own and three of them tested the Copenhagen goalkeeper Karl-Johan Johnsson, who produced a sensational performance to keep his side in the game.

One of those efforts from Martial had looked destined for the top corner and even had the United bench on its feet in anticipation of a goal, until the opposition stopper pulled off a wonder save.
