FC Copenhagen boss Jacob Neestrup has hit out at his side’s performance despite their dramatic 4-3 victory over Man United on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Danish giants beat Erik ten Hag’s side in a chaotic encounter that saw them recover from two goals down to level the tie, before scoring twice towards the end to turn around a 3-2 deficit into a 4-3 win.<\/p>\n
The victory at the Parken Stadium – which was helped by Marcus Rashford’s first half red card – saw Neestrup’s side rise to second in the group. They face a crunch tie away at\u00a0Bayern Munich later this month, before entertaining Galatasaray in a winner-takes-all clash in December.<\/p>\n
Copenhagen’s win over United came after they narrowly lost the reverse fixture 1-0 when Andre Onana saved Jordan Larsson’s last-gasp penalty, but despite exacting revenge on United, Neestrup felt his side have been much better on other occasions.<\/p>\n
‘For me as Copenhagen coach, it was by far the weakest performance in the group stage so far,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘So if you take the picture today we maybe didn’t deserve three or even one point.<\/p>\n
‘But if you take it over four rounds then it is very very well deserved that Copenhagen is in second place because I believe we have been the second best team, not today, but over four games.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Along with the defeat at Old Trafford, Copenhagen’s first victory in the group came after they\u00a0also narrowly lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich and <\/span>drew 2-2 away at Galatasaray, meaning they had been involved in three tightly-fought contests.<\/span><\/p>\n Ahead of Wednesday’s clash, Neestrup had outlined his feelings of injustice after the loss to United back in Manchester last month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The 35-year-old had said: ‘<\/span>For me, it’s not about hope. For me, it’s about strong belief that we can get a result.<\/p>\n ‘The penalty miss in the fifth minute of extra-time was what was it was, but it was a totally equal game.<\/p>\n ‘I was a little bit surprised about some of the questions I got after the game from English journalists in terms of that we were quite tough to break down.<\/p>\n ‘The talk we had at half-time in our dressing-room was that we thought it was tough to break the opponent down. In that picture I think the game over 95 minutes was totally equal.’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Copenhagen exacted revenge on United after they narrowly lost the reverse fixture 1-0<\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\nIT’S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n
