‘3 KEY PASS, 4 DRIBBLES’: Man Utd star Mason Greenwood had ‘OUTSTANDING performance’ saving Getafe over Atletico Madrid

Mason Greenwood is still making an impression at Getafe while Manchester United stumbles from one drab offensive performance to another.

He maintained his excellent form by putting on another outstanding performance, this time away against Atletico Madrid.

Even though he did not score or provide an assist, Mason Greenwood was a big part of Getafe’s incredible performance against Atletico Madrid in round 18 of La Liga.

Getafe began a score chase as they held Atletico Madrid to a 3-3 draw right on their own pitch. Coach Diego Simeone’s team managed to equalise despite holding a two-goal advantage entering the 87th minute.

Greenwood is one of the factors that significantly affects the field. The English striker made Jan Oblak give the ball to Borja Mayoral with a left-handed shot in the 53rd minute, forcing Mayoral to help Getafe equalise at one goal apiece.

Oscar Rodriguez had the chance to cut the lead to 2-3 in the 87th minute when Greenwood executed a brilliant dribble from the right wing, evading two Atletico players and crossing the goal line. Then, in a thrilling 3-3 draw for Getafe, Mayoral scored from the penalty spot at 90+3 minutes of extra time.

Despite neither scoring or providing an assist in this game, Greenwood’s performance as an English striker was really outstanding. He was a constant nuisance to the Atletico defence, dribbling and shooting with both feet.

Greenwood had eighty-two touches on the ball as he left his mark on every forward move for Getafe.

Greenwood was a threat to the Atletico defence with three crucial passes and four effective dribbles. He would frequently break free from his man and send the opposition into disarray.

He attempted five shots on goal, two of which struck the back of the net. Among them was a rasping drive from outside the area that Jan Oblak skillfully parried with his powerful hands.

Greenwood is also quite active in defence support, winning 4 duels and making 5 recoveries (stats courtesy of sofascore).

The 2001-born striker received 8 points from Sofascore, which is only one point less than Antoine Griezmann (8.1) and Borja Mayoral (8.1), who both scored two goals in this game.

Following his initial stint at Getafe, where he mostly served as a bench warmer, the English striker has been starting for the La Liga team ever since. He contributes significantly to Getafe’s success. Greenwood scored one goal and provided one assist in Getafe’s 3-0 triumph over Sevilla in the previous round.

Greenwood has made 15 appearances for Getafe across all competitions this season, tallying 4 assists and 5 goals. Getafe made a bid to purchase Greenwood outright due to his excellent form. Many other La Liga teams, in addition to Getafe, are interested in signing the English striker. But since the “Red Devils” only loaned Greenwood to Getafe for the end of this season, everything still hinges on Man Utd.
