All the jokes about Scottish goalkeepers can stop now. Jack Butland was born in Bristol.

But that didn’t stop him somehow going up to punch a corner and sending it backwards into his own net for United to go ahead.

That blunder from the former Stoke City and Crystal Palace man summed up much of the proceedings so far : schoolboy stuff that’s had its thrills thanks to plenty of spills.
