Carrick said of the Brazilian attacker afterwards: "Yeah. It’s the position we want him to be in, you know?
"I think he gives us width at times on one side, but to be in the middle of goal and scoring goals… he’s had some really big moments for us Matheus and it’s just finding them spaces and that composure as well.
"Like you say he had one earlier where he probably was a little bit frustrated with himself.
"It was a good opportunity and a similar one, so to then be there again and have the composure to put it away, shows what he’s all about.
