Manchester United thrashed Athletic Bilbao 4-1 on Thursday and 7-1 on aggregate, setting up a mouthwatering Europa League final against Tottenham.
United, 3-0 up after the first leg, fell behind to a superb strike from Mikel Jauregizar and looked nervy and untidy as they fought to find their feet at Old Trafford.
But a flurry of second-half substitutions – including the entrance of Mason Mount and Amad Diallo – changed the complexion of the game completely and led to a United onslaught.
Mount, a peripheral figure since his move from Chelsea two years ago, produced an excellent turn and shot into the far corner to bring much-needed relief in the 72nd minute.

Casemiro scored a header from a Bruno Fernandes cross seven minutes later before Rasmus Hojlund converted from close range.
And there was still time for Mount to score a breathtaking second from near the halfway line in stoppage time, with goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala well out of position.
United, after a terrible Premier League season, have a chance to end the campaign on a high note with the showdown against Tottenham in Bilbao on May 21.
Tottenham beat Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt 2-0 on Thursday, leading to 5-1 on aggregate.
United are 15th in the Premier League and on course for their worst season since they were relegated from the top flight in 1974 but Tottenham are a place below them.
