Mile Svilar bounced back from his error against Manchester United two weeks ago by denying Anthony Martial from the penalty spot on Tuesday night.

United were awarded the spot kick when Anthony Martial was brought down by Douglas after some fantastic footwork down the left.

The Frenchman confidently picked up the ball and assumed spot-kick duties but his low effort was well saved by Svilar down to his right.

The save will mark some level of redemption for the youngster after his misjudged Marcus Rashford's free kick in the reverse fixture in Lisbon.
