After an early lead by Arsenal at Old Trafford on December 2, 2021, Fred’s sensational pass was put behind Aaron Ramsdale by the skilful Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes at the stroke of halftime to equalise the visitors’ goal. It was 90 minutes of fierce football between Manchester United and their London rivals. At 52 minutes, C Ronaldo’s shot was beyond Ramsdale’s reach, but it took only two minutes for M. Ødegaard to equalise the goal.
