Manchester United walked away with all 3 points from the jaws of defeat as Martial and Pogba struck late to secure a 2-1 win. Ibrahimovic scored in the first half but was surprisingly disallowed by referee Lee Mason.
Manchester United fans were jubilant as the Red Devils are now on a 12 match unbeaten streak!
“The Game Changers!”
Goal 1: Pogba pass - Ibra flick on - Martial goal.Goal 2: Mata cross - Pogba goal.In Ibra and Pogba we have two genuine game changers.

Mata was the game changer today, yes Martial scored the important goal but Mata was brilliant since coming on.

Lee Mason was the talking point of the match!
Absolutely appalling decision by Lee Mason in ruling out Ibrahimovic's clever finish.
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) December 31, 2016
Middlesbrough have quite a player in Lee Mason, was unplayable today.

That is another awful decision against #mufc this season. Risible refereeing from Lee Mason.

Ibrahimovic got robbed lmao FIFA paid Lee Mason to stop Ibra from equalling Messi's record in 2016. Uefalona at again

Despite Lee Mason's considerable efforts, United win again. Sorry @FA, you tried your hardest but couldn't quite stop us. Again. #MUFC
