MANCHESTER UNITED star Anthony Martial had his eyes CLOSED when he headed into his own goal.
That saw PSG equalise after the Frenchman had earlier won his side a penalty that Bruno Fernandes scored from – at the second attempt.

United went on to win 2-1 after another brilliant late goal by Marcus Rashford.
But the result looked in major doubt when, on 55 minutes, Neymar swung in a corner and Martial rose highest only to head past David De Gea into the back of the net.
Slow motion replays show the 24-year-old decided to close his eyes when trying to clear from danger – no wonder he got his angles all wrong.
Martial is yet to have a shot on target this season for Manchester United.
And United fans were left less-thank impressed on social media, with some joking he is now on minus-one for the season.
One fan was left wondering ‘what did he just do’, while others scoffed that he had scored more own goals than goals so far this season.
One even went so far as to describe the United player a ‘fraud’.
But Martial had contributed in a positive way at the Pace des Princes by earning an early penalty that led to United taking the lead.
It led to Fernandes MISSING his second-straight penalty – but was given a reprieve.
The Portuguese midfielder missed a penalty against Newcastle at the weekend, his first failure since October 2018.

Noticeably, he changed his usual hop-skip-jump routine.
And it seemed that bad luck was continuing as PSG keeper Keylor Navas dived low to left to save.
The hop-skip-jump was back, but it didn’t work.
However, the officials judged Navas to have come too far off his line and ordered the re-take.
And this time, with the same routine, Fernandes made no mistake as he rolled it into the same corner he had earlier been thwarted in.
