'Embarrassing!' - Manchester United fans rage after falling behind vs Omonia Nicosia

Manchester United were stunned by Cypriot minnows Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday evening, falling behind with just over half an hour on the clock.

United had committed bodies forward for a free-kick and were quickly swamped by Neil Lennon's side.

Felipe led the breakaway before playing a well-timed pass to Karim Ansarifard, who skipped away from Lisandro Martinez and fired an emphatic effort into the roof of the net, sparking wild scenes in the stand behind the goal. It had come completely against the run of play, with David de Gea not having had anything to do up until that juncture.
