Side note: how do you figure out who scored in other matches? Just checking team stats each match week?
Yes, exactly. I've done this with previous updates during European Championships and World Cups, taking note of team stats before and after each game to see who scored there. It's the first time I do this in league football, and I think it's only doable because of the size of the league with only 12 teams. It's not too much work with such a limited number of teams to check up on after each game.
Beginning of the match is probably one of those times you'd have taken a draw, but to lose a 2 goal lead against rivals will always feel like points lost even if they were favourites.
Losing a two goal lead to your rivals is not going to win Frank over with the fans. I know he was liked by the fans after his first stint but the nostalgia feeling can quickly fade if things do not turn around.

You're right, except I had just lost to FC Midtjylland in the game before, so I really wanted a win in this one. And the first half really pointed in that direction, so it was a huge disappointment to let them back in.

The funny thing is - he is particularly more well-liked these days (IRL) due to his impressive work with Brentford. I liked him too in his Brøndby days, and I bought his narrative about being on a process to get to the top, also relying heavily on youth players he was familiar with from his work as a Denmark youth international coach.
I remember a lot of the fanbase not having the same patience as me, wanting results faster and ridiculing him for his use of the phrase "it's a process". So if not for anything else, his time at Brentford has certainly shown this particular fanbase that he knows what he's talking about.

Maybe he should go to United. Ten Hag has 'a process' that doesn't seem to be working. Maybe Frank's does...

It does seem that United as a club seem to have a pretty poor record of turning good managers into poor ones. Perhaps the players are also responsible at some point. (longer discussion perhaps, let's just leave it there...😉)
