The best team in the league vs the team that probably would be the best team in the league if they had a proper manager for the full season – it’s a tale as old as me. Salah scored first, but Surreal looked far from beaten, even if the usually reliable Ciro was having an off day. They dug deep, and Pogba found the net with a header. A masterclass from Hector Bellerin saw him grab two assists and a goal. Hijos will be left wondering where that collapse came from.
