Manchester United extended their lead against Celta Vigo with a all-important goal from Marouane Fellaini. Henrikh Mkhitaryan found Marcus Rashford in space, and he delivered a perfect pass to Fellaini at the far post. A simple header from close range beat keeper Sergio Alvarez, who could only get a hand on the shot. Celta Vigo controlled possession early on, needing at least one away goal to advance. Their task just became much more difficult.

Jose Mourinho has made it clear that he believes Manchester United's best path to Champions League qualification is winning the Europa League. Arsenal's win yesterday makes a top four finish more unlikely for Man U, so the stakes are high for United to hang onto the lead and advance to the final.
