Mount played the hero for MU. |
Speaking after the match, Mason Mount shared: "When I saw him (the goalkeeper) out of position, I had a feeling I would control the ball with one touch and shoot immediately. I just tried to get the ball into the net."
Mount scored a brace after coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute, setting the stage for Manchester United's 4-1 (7-1 on aggregate) victory over Bilbao. This result secured the Red Devils' place in the final, where they will face Tottenham.
The highlight of Mount's performance was his second goal. The former Chelsea star took a shot from midfield after noticing goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala made a mistake.
Mount added: "It's been a long time since I've had such a great night. I always try to train hard and stay positive. The opportunity came, and I made an impact in the game. When I came on, I was just trying to slow down the pace of the game."
In addition to his two goals, Mount also had a strong performance with a 100% pass completion rate, an 80% tackle win rate, 19 touches, and 3 tackles.
Former football legend 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 goal 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 against Bilbao helped MU maintain their unbeaten run of 14 matches in this season's Europa League. If they beat Tottenham in the final, the "Red Devils" will secure a place in next season's Champions League.
