Manchester United supporters hailed Eric Bailly after he produced another unexpected attacking contribution in Friday's 4-1 victory over Melbourne Victory at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Just as he did against Liverpool on Tuesday, Bailly stepped off the bench at half-time and played a key role in helping United increase their lead. The Ivorian motored forward from centre-back and played an excellent through ball for Marcus Rashford to latch onto and cooly slot home United's third goal.
It was a brilliant run and pass from the centre-back, who earned plaudits for his role in United's fourth goal against Liverpool in Bangkok. Against Jurgen Klopp's side, the defender sparked a sensational counter-attack, dancing his way past Thiago, before allowing Amad and Facundo Pellistri to combine for the latter to score.
