The Brazilian found the net in just his second Betis appearance against Celta Vigo last weekend, having laid on an assist on his debut.

He continued his resurgence by scoring a fine effort to give his loan side the lead in Belgium this evening.

Barely a minute into the second half, the winger received the ball on the right flank.

He subsequently drove inside, before unleashing a shot into the bottom corner.

Fans online were quick to have their say on Antony‘s goal.

One posted: “United was the problem.”

While a second blasted: “Now it is clear that United destroys every player.”

A third wrote: “Crazy what confidence can do to a player.”

“We have very good chemistry with United and the player, who is happy here.

“It is a possibility that he will continue next season, why not?”
