MANCHESTER UNITED fans were left stunned after footage re-emerged of Senne Lammens SCORING a late equaliser.
The Belgian goalkeeper was an £18million deadline day signing for Ruben Amorim’s side from Royal Antwerp.

Lammens is now expected to pinch the No1 spot off Altay Bayindir following Andre Onana’s relegation to the bench.
But the 23-year-old could possibly do a job up front as well.
United have struggled for goals in recent seasons, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failing to impress.
New £74m striker Benjamin Sesko is also yet to get off the mark for the Red Devils.
But despite being a shot-stopper, Lammens has proved he has an eye for goal.
At the age of 17, he turned out for Club Brugge’s reserves in a 2019 Uefa Youth League group stage match against Real Madrid.
The Belgian side needed a win to book their place in the knockout stages.
But with seconds to go, they trailed the Spaniards 2-1.

However, a last-gasp corner allowed Lammens to leave his box and head into the opposition’s penalty area.
And as the ball sailed in, the 6ft 4in goalie landed his head on it before guiding it into Real’s net.
It sparked wild scenes as the 2-2 draw sent Brugge through to the next round.
And United fans reacted in delight as footage of the moment re-emerged on social media.
One said: “Solved our attack and goalkeeping.”
Another declared: “Better than our keepers, they score own goals.”
One noted: “Him and Maguire up front with 10 minutes to go.”
Another added: “Bro plays fox in the box role better than a certain Gyokeres.”
