Actually Betis also a tough side.
Man U got a lion share of possession in the 1st half.
Man U were off to a flying start with red hot Rashford open scoring.
Then complacency sets in and Betis sneak in an equaliser.
But there is a debatable hand ball by a Betis player before the goal and likely the Man U players were distracted busy calling for a foul.
No action from the Referee nor VAR.
Then panic mode sets in....Betis went in search for the 2nd goal ...
HT ended 1-1.
2nd half
Likely ETH fark them upside down and they wake up.
The useless Dalot were sub off for AWB.
Then, the goals came.....Antony with his trademark shot, Bruno with a sneak in bullet header with no one marking him (ala Casemiro)......
There were many many chances but Man U were very wasteful.
Then McTom and Pellistri were ON...an immediate impact.
Pellistri with his amazing dizzy dribbling and persistence on the right side.
McTom with the shot which block by Bravo....then Weghorst scored with the rebound!! Can see the entire team and stadium cheered for him.
WW actually got a few chances and were very close. Even got a goal disallowed for offside in the first half.
Betis and Bravo were totally tormented in the 2nd half.
But to be frank, Betis is no where in the same league as Liverpool.
Hence Man U were made to look good.
Still early to talk of Cup win....there are other strong teams like Sevilla, Juventus, Leverkusen, Roma.
