How Man Utd defenders Harry Maguire & Raphael Varane conspired to concede a penalty against Copenhagen

to completely alter proceedings. Copenhagen pulled one back just three minutes later, before a penalty was awarded nine minutes into first-half stoppage time.With United up against it late on, the ball bounced around in their box. It appeared to initially strike the arm of Varane before hitting Maguire's arm just moments later as he tussled with Diogo Goncalves. It is unclear exactly which handball was responsible for the decision to award the penalty, or whether both contributed.

But the outstretched nature of the England international's limb likely did him no favours, despite him being close to the Copenhagen man when the ball ricocheted off him.United players and supporters alike will likely feel aggrieved off the back of two big decisions. But those on the pitch had no time to dwell, as Goncalves' converted spot-kick drew the home side level and set up a pressure-filled second 45 for Erik ten Hag's side.
