Pinnock struck after ref Samuel Barrott forced United defender Matthijs de Ligt off the pitch when defending a corner due to a bleeding head injury.

But the Red Devils used their rage to good effect after the break.

Garnacho soon slotted a brilliant equaliser.

And Hojlund deftly clipped the home side in front midway through the second period.
