Man Utd vs Real Sociedad LIVE SCORE: Red Devils AHEAD after Bruno Fernandes scores a brace of penalties vs Sociedad

MANCHESTER UNITED are LEVEL with Real Sociedad at Old Trafford after TWO early penalties.

Mikel Oyarzabal scored his second penalty of the tie in the first ten minutes, with Matthijs de Ligt deemed to have fouled him after a VAR check.

Rasmus Hojlund won United a penalty at the other end of the pitch, and Bruno Fernandes, as he always does, stepped up and converted for the Red Devils.

The winner will likely face Olympique Lyonnais in the next round, who are 5-1 up in their tie against FCSB.

Plus, SunSport will bring you all the latest from the capital as Spurs lead AZ Alkmaar at half-time.

Bruno Fernandes was the coolest man on the park – slotting home his second spot-kick of the night just after half time.

Where would United be without their skipper and talisman? More than likely going out of the Europa League.

Sociedad going down to 10-men following Aramburu’s red card means the quarter finals beckon for Amorim’s men.

An update from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Wilson Odobert has followed his first Tottenham goal earlier this evening with his second.

The former Burnley youngster has put Spurs 3-1 up on the night, and back in charge of their Last 16 tie.

69. With the extra man, United are dominating the ball.

It would take something particularly disastrous for the Red Devils to let this tie slip from their grasp now.

Never say never, mind.

67. Well, that's the opposite of the phrase 'good football all around'.

Garnacho finds room on the right flank, but makes a mess of his cross with plenty of options available.

It's an easy clearance for the the defender, except he instead takes such a heavy touch that it allows Hojlund to take over.

The striker has time and room to weigh up his finish yet takes advantage of neither, scuffing a wayward shot straight at an opponent.

An update from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Spurs have been pegged back in North London.

Peer Koopmeiners has fired AZ Alkmaar level on aggregate, and with little under half hour remaining, the Premier League side have to respond again.

62. Real Sociedad are down to ten men!

Substitute Jon Aramburu, who has barely been on the pitch seven minutes, has been dismissed for bringing Patrick Dorgu.

The Real Sociedad man is caught the wrong side of the young Dane as United move it forward quickly, and can only respond by dragging him down.

The incident takes place a long way from goal and Nayef Aguerd was close to getting round, but Benoit Bastien says red card and the video officials do not see enough to overturn it.

A harsh one in my view.

58. A Manchester United player has just scored.

His name? Antony, who has put Betis 3-0 up at Vitoria in the Conference League.

The Brazilian moves closer to re-joining the Red Devils for £170m in 2027.

55. Outlandish thinking from Garnacho, who slides across the penalty area to scoop a cross over in one motion.

Hojlund is all alone if the ball can find him, but unfortunately - and somewhat typically - for the striker, it bounces up and into the hands of the goalkeeper.

An update from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Second before Manchester United grabbed the lead in their Europa League Round of 16 tie, Tottenham were doing the same in their clash.

James Maddison is the man on target in the capital, and Ange Postecoglou's side have come from behind to lead their Dutch opponents.

48. It's another penalty!

The third of the night and Manchester United's second has been awarded after Patrick Dorgu was sent tumbling in the box.

It looked as though Aritz Elustondo was trying to pull out of the challenge, but as soon as knee connected with knee, referee Benoit Bastien pointed to the spot.

There's a lengthy VAR check in the aftermath, but the decision is upheld, and once again all eyes are on Bruno Fernandes...

More penalty drama at the Theatre of Dreams.

Earlier this month United went out of the FA Cup to Fulham in a shoot-out and here both teams were given one within the first 16 minutes.

Both were scored and three quarters of the way through this tie it remains all square.

United need to win this one to keep their season alive.

45. Four minutes of stoppage time are signalled, which just about covers the VAR interventions.

Andre Onana hasn't had much to do so far this evening, but has his wits about him hear to deal with a couple of dead balls late in the half.

44. It's been a really tough season for Manchester United fans.

Underperforming high-paid players. Dressing room leaks. Appalling home results. A lack of investment from owners. A leaky roof.

And now - worst of all - having to spend their Thursday evenings listening to Robbie Savage and "Fletch".

42. Accomplished play from Heaven again as he tracks Kubo's tricks all the way to the byline.

The teenager gets a foot in at the right time to flick it behind and earns some luck when the officials award a goalkick, much to the Real Sociedad's winger's disbelief.

40. Dorgu gives it some Paul Scholes as he connects on the volley following a corner from the right.

The technique is top drawer but the accuracy is off - and the ball soars over the crossbar.

38. Excellent defending from Aguerd.

The former West Ham man throws himself in front of danger at the near post to turn a fizzed Garnacho cross behind for a corner.

Meanwhile, Marin has gone into the book for a challenge earlier in the move that the referee initially waved play-on for.
