A year ago, Liverpool led a Europa League final 1-0 at half-time, and the decided not to bother turning up for the second-half.
Manchester United were not going to make the same mistake, and have doubled their lead in the final just two minutes into the second-half.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, arguably United's poorest performer in a drab first-half, was the goalscorer, brilliantly hooking the ball into the net as he reacted quickest to a downward header by Chris Smalling. Relatively poor defending by Ajax, but credit Mkhitaryan for the sheer speed of his reaction.
