Watch: Paul Pogba scores on a rocket for Manchester United in Europa League

Published Jun. 30, 2017 6:28 p.m. ET

After two penalty kicks gave Manchester United a 2-0 first-half lead over Fenerbahce in their Europa League group clash Thursday, Paul Pogba put an exclamation point on the opening first 45 minutes right before the two teams went to the locker room. 

Pogba put a 20-yard blast in the back of the net with seconds remaining before the end of first-half stoppage time, putting the Red Devils on their way to the three points.

Pogba had opened the scoring by converting from the penalty spot, and Anthony Martial added a second penalty shortly after. Despite getting the start, captain Wayne Rooney wasn't called upon for either spot kick.

Pogba followed up with this laser, which came off a sequence started by Rooney. After pouncing on a turnover, he picked out Jesse Lingard, who laid it off for Pogba to fire home.

Lingard scored a goal early in the second half to extend the lead to 4-0.

Manchester United, which welcomed Robin van Persie back to Old Trafford as an opponent, opened the day in third place in Group A.
