They were forced to come from behind and equalised through a Nayef Aguerd own goal before Alejandro Garnacho put them in front in the 90th minute.
There was still time for one more however thanks to the tireless work of Weghorst, who pressured Aguerd into a mistake inside the box.
The ball fell kindly to Fred who smashed in a deflected effort to confirm the victory.
Fred immediately pointed at Weghorst to show his appreciation for the Dutchman’s efforts, before sliding in front of the Stretford End in celebration.
