Anthony Elanga Hit By Object Celebrating Manchester United Goal

Anthony Elanga was hit by an object, as Manchester United scored their third goal in a thrilling contest with Leeds United on Sunday.

Elanga, and the rest of his teammates, were celebrating Fred's brilliant strike, after the Brazilian came on in the second half, that saved them from utter embarrassment.

The United players ran towards their own fans in the corner but Elanga went down after being hit by an object that was seemingly thrown by one of the home fans.

It was Elgana who had the last laugh though, as he recovered to put the finishing touches to what was a ridiculous game in the end.

The Portugal midfielder flicked the ball over his markers head, turned, recollected the ball after a touch from the defender and then found his teammate.

Elanga tucked the ball home under Meslier, making it 4-2, and ran back towards his own fans and put his finger up to his lips in celebration.

The game was played in torrential rain at Elland Road but fans will be glad that there was never a real threat of it being called off as they were treated to six goals.

Whatever Marcelo Bielsa said at half time worked as Rodrigo made a fool of David de Gea with a cross-cum-shot that flew over the Spanish keeper and into the net.

However, just as Leeds were back into it, it was United's own subs who helped secure all three points, as Fred and then Elanga got the win.

And the teenager made sure the home fans knew exactly who the winners were, pointing at the badge on his shirt at full time.

Impressive response all round from the 19-year-old!
