Nightmare for Dorgu at Old Trafford: goal gifted and red card

Patrick Dorgu endured a nightmare first half as Manchester United hosted Ipswich Town on matchday 27 of the Premier League. The Dane was at fault for the visitors' opening goal after four minutes following a miscommunication with Onana.

Dorgu was racing against Ipswich forward Philogene as the two players chased a long ball on the right flank of Man United's half, with the Cameroon goalkeeper coming off his lines to collect it once it reached the penalty area.

However, the 20-year-old did not seem to notice the Cameroon international's exit and, just as the two teammates were a yard away from each other, he passed the ball back inside the box, expecting Onana to still be in goal.

The pass turned out to be a perfect assist for Philogene to score into an empty net, leaving the home crowd stunned. But the horror show did not end there as the former Lecce payer was sent off on the stroke of half-time for his dangerous challenge on Hutchinson.
