Antony’s Stunning Last-Minute Strike Seals Dramatic Comeback for Real Betis
Brazilian winger Antony delivered a moment of brilliance for Real Betis on Saturday, netting a sensational 91st-minute winner to secure a 2-1 comeback victory over Espanyol. The on-loan Manchester United star curled a spectacular strike into the top corner, sending the Benito VillamarÃn crowd into raptures and keeping the club’s Champions League hopes alive.
Betis had trailed 1-0 but mounted a spirited fightback, equalising before Antony stepped up with a piece of solo magic that proved decisive. The breathtaking goal capped off what has been a resurgence in form for the 24-year-old, who has rediscovered his confidence and rhythm since arriving in Spain.
Antony’s impact hasn’t gone unnoticed. Just days earlier, he scored another crucial goal in Betis’s UEFA Conference League semi-final first leg against Fiorentina, helping the Spanish side take control of the tie.
With such standout performances, Betis are eager to extend his stay. However, Manchester United have already rejected a £25 million offer for a season-long loan extension, preferring a permanent move instead. The Premier League giants are reportedly holding out for a higher transfer fee should Betis wish to make the deal permanent.
Despite the transfer uncertainty, Antony continues to shine on the pitch. His match-winning displays are fuelling Real Betis’s European ambitions and rekindling the excitement of fans who believe the winger may finally be living up to his immense potential.
