Pogba rescues Manchester United with late header against Middlesbrough

Paul Pogba’s 87th minute header gave Manchester United a win at Old Trafford on 2017 New Year’s Eve.

Referee Lee Mason disallowed Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s 39th-minute goal, which would have put the team in control before halftime due to a high foot.

The Red Devils produced a comeback to avoid a shock defeat against Middlesbrough following Grant Leadbitter’s 67^th minute strike.

Anthony Martial canceled Grant’s opener with a fantastic 85^th minute finish before Pogba – who was signed for €105m in August – scored with a powerful 87^th minute header to give the expensive team a win on the last day of 2016.

Its Man. U’s fifth consecutive EPL 2016/17 win in a row since their 1-1 draw with Everton on December 4 at Goodison Park.

Manchester United is presently sixth on the Premier League table with 36 points after 19 matches played.
