Mason Greenwood provided an assist and returned to his best form in Getafe’s 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad.
The 22-year-old has continued to play well for the Liga side but he had not scored a goal or provided an assist since the beginning of last month.
In an even match, both sides had seven shots on goal. However, the visitors dominated possession with 61%.
The United academy graduate was awarded a score of 7.3 on Sofascore for his afternoon’s work. The highest-rated for his team and joint highest of the game.
The biggest contribution by the Englishman by far was his assist for Getafe’s equaliser. He produced a sublime cross for Juanmi Latasa to head home from close range.
It was his sixth assist of the campaign, as he continues to be a key contributor to anything positive Getafe do in attack.
The Bradford native provided one key pass and completed 67% of his 15 passes during the game. He crossed the ball three times with the goal being the one time that the pass found its intended target.
Greenwood did have a frustrating time in front of goal in a game of few chances. He did not have any shots on or off target but he did have one shot that was blocked by the resolute Basque defence.
Nonetheless, the Englishman was a constant threat in the side of Sociedad as he had 40 touches and successfully completed three out of his four dribble attempts.
Greenwood also showed his defensive strength as he won an incredible 10 out of his 15 ground duels as he battled hard for his side.
The team from San Sebastian struggled to deal with the United man as he was fouled six times in the game.
The draw was Getafe’s 13th of the season and they remain ninth in the table as they continue to be on course for an impressive top-half finish.
Greenwood and his side will hope to build on an impressive result when they travel to Almeria next Saturday afternoon.
