Rasmus Hojlund came off the bench to score twice as Manchester United fought back from a goal down to claim a vital Europa League win at Viktoria Plzen.
The result lifts Ruben Amorim's side into the top eight positions that would automatically see them qualify for the last 16 of the competition.
Hojlund has now scored five times in the competition this term and sparked a United revival after his second-half introduction.
The 21-year-old forward levelled after some good link-up play from Antony and Amad Diallo, prodding in from close range when the Ivorian's initial effort was blocked.
And the Denmark international then drove a low shot into the bottom-right corner after sprinting on to Bruno Fernandes' clever pass.
Hojlund's intervention spared the blushes of team-mate Andre Onana, with the United goalkeeper making a significant blunder for the second consecutive game that contributed to a goal.
There seemed little danger when the Cameroon keeper had the ball at his feet in his own penalty area but his attempt to pass out to Matthijs de Ligt was intercepted by Pavel Sulc, who squared the ball to Matej Vydra to allow the former Watford and Burnley forward to tap into an empty net from six yards.
