- PSG 1–2 Manchester United
The forward dragged the ball into the area, shot and the ball flew into the corner. 2-1 against Manchester United, a great start to the Champions League season for Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
– It’s pure class, says Erik Thorstvedt on TV 2 about the score of the match winner.
Another important victory for Solskjær in Paris, in a difficult group where RB Leipzig also awaits. It was after a victory in the French capital in the spring of 2019 that he secured the position permanently. He’s been under pressure again lately, but in recent days he has responded with a win at Newcastle, and again on Tuesday night.
– It’s good leadership. I remember he said before the season that they were going to take a few games before they started, now it looks great, says Brede Hangeland on TV 2.
– The players were fantastic and I think we deserved the victory, said Solskjær himself in an interview shown on Viasport.
Praise for the tactical
Before the game, the coach decided to bench Paul Pogba and hit a treble line. Up front, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial played as wide forwards, with Bruno Fernandes just behind them.
– Solskjær hit well with the start of the match, Øyvind Alsaker commented on TV 2.
Solskjær chose to change the formation to a treble line. Up front were Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, the wide forwards, with Bruno Fernandes just behind them.

– This is something he has done successfully in tough games before, noted expert commentator Petter Myhre.
Criminal drama
After David de Gea saved Manchester United in the opening minutes, Anthony Martial provided a penalty in a duel inside the box.
Bruno Fernandes, who missed Newcastle at the weekend, made a weak attempt that saved PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas. But Fernandes was saved by the VAR, which recorded that Navas had stepped out of line.
Thunder after the rumor of Solskjær
Fernandes got another chance, sending Manchester United in the lead.
– After two booms in a row it could only get better, I wouldn’t give it away anyway. Bruno showed character again, praised Solskjær.
Manchester United were in good control for the rest of the round and packed Neymar and Kylian Mbappé well.
Own objective
But then Thomas Tuchel took action during the break, and it resulted in more PSG dominance.
Then came the cold shower, served by his team, when Martial surprised a corner from Neymar more in his own net.
Then Solskjær responded by putting Paul Pogba, and suddenly it was Manchester United who created the opportunities; shortly before the end was reduced.
Rashford shoved the ball into the box and threw it into the corner behind the goalkeeper.
