Ironically, we should have scored 7 in that game! 4-1 is a decent lead to take into the 2nd leg and a fair reflection of how the game went. I would have been disappointed with 3-1, and I had a feeling of dread that Betis were gonna make it 3-2 before Wout's goal which would have been a complete travesty.
Take aways from the night: de Gea can't play the ball out from the back but we already knew that. AWB has his shortcomings but he's been desperately unlucky to lose his place to Dalot and he should win it back. Bruno looked focused and with a point to prove, more of the same for the rest of the season please. A brief but very impressive cameo from Pellestri has surely earned him a longer run in a PL game to prove it's not a one off.
Antony showed he's a talented player capable of scoring the occasional worldie, but the jury's still out on him. The fact is, no half decent PL left back would have allowed him onto his left to score that goal, he probably couldn't believe his luck. And chipping it over the bar when he had 3 players wide open in front of goal showed he either doesn't see teammates in a better position or chooses to ignore them for his own glory. If he cuts the flicks and the tricks and becomes a team player, he could be very good for us. Hopefully ETH can get it out of him.
