Mount plays the role of MU hero. |
Speaking after the match, Mason Mount shared: "When I saw him (the goalkeeper) coming up, I had in my mind the decision to take the ball one touch and shoot immediately. I just tried to put the ball in the goal."
Mount scored twice as a substitute in the 62nd minute, setting the stage for MU's 4-1 victory (7-1 on aggregate) over Bilbao. This result helped the "Red Devils" reach the final, facing Tottenham.
The highlight of Mount's performance was his second goal, with the former Chelsea star firing home from midfield after spotting goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala making a mistake.
Mount added: "It's been a long time since I had a good night like that. I always try to work hard and stay positive. The opportunity came and I had an impact on the game. When I came on, I just tried to slow the game down."
In addition to his brace, Mount also had a great day with 100% passing accuracy, 80% challenge win rate, 19 touches and 3 tackles.
Former player Robbie Savage commented on TNT Sports : "Mount just had the best 30 minutes of his career". Savage also rated Mount's goals as world- class.
Mount's strike reminded fans of Wayne Rooney's moment of brilliance. In 2014, "Shrek" also scored against West Ham in the Premier League from a similar position.
The victory over Bilbao helped MU maintain a 14-match unbeaten streak in the Europa League this season. If they beat Tottenham in the final, the "Red Devils" will have a ticket to the Champions League next season.
