However, Bruno Fernandes reduced the deficit from the penalty spot in the 15th minute before Youri Tielemans brought United level at 2-2 before half-time.

Joshua Zirkzee pulled one back in the 91st minute to spark hope before Dorgu (subbed on in the 66th minute) fired home in the 96th minute to cap off a remarkable comeback.

United sit third bottom in the Premier League table with just eight points from 10 games and only Sunderland and Crystal Palace propping them up.
