WHAT HAPPENED? The Omonia Nicosia custodian - who is not even their first choice - was nearly unbeatable in the Europa League group stage tie against Manchester United as he managed to make 12 saves between the sticks, only to be beaten by a last-gasp Scott Mctominay winner.

WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to BT Sport after the game, Uzoho said, "I am not disappointed. We had a good game, I am happy, it is not an easy stadium to play at. It is a dream come true. I have dreamed to play here for a long, long time.

"When I saw the draw, I wanted to play and I got the opportunity. Arguably it is the best I have played. I am proud of my teammates though because it is not a one-man job."
