It's not the first time Martial has come off the bench to make a decisive impact this season either, and so perhaps the takeaway from the game was to trust Mourinho's judgement as he secured an important victory having come under
pressure after the goalless draw at Anfield as well as the shock defeat to Huddersfield Town.
They sit in eighth place in the Serie A table
after 11 games, 12 points adrift of the top four, while they've been held to back - to - back
goalless draws by AEK Athens in the Europa League over the last fortnight to really ramp up the
pressure on Montella.
