In the Premier League, five matches were played on Wednesday.
Fred shot Manchester United into a 1–0 lead. PDO
– They know how to strike really quickly. We must be on our guard.
This is how the manager of Manchester United painted Erik ten Hag Wednesday night’s late match on his club’s website.
United were on their toes, dully dulling Tottenham’s counter-attacking attempts and managing the turf with the host’s swagger. Hugo Lloris had to fumble in the first half Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw’s with quality shots. Antony’s the familiar back corner shot went past the post.
In the first minute of the second half, luck turned its back on Lloris. Fred’s an impetuous inside edge putt from twenty changed direction by Ben Davies off the leg and sank right at the foot of the post.
Fernandes hit the 2-0 staple twenty minutes before the end. The right foot sent the ball with a light twist, downright clinical into the back corner.
– It was a great performance, a perfect performance, Fernandes told the BBC.
– We need more of these.
The win moved United to within a point of fourth-place Chelsea and four points behind Tottenham, who played a game more.
Hit the roof
Liverpool took their second 1-0 home win in four days and are gradually pushing their way from the middle to the top.
The hit was made Darwin Nunezwhich rose Kostas Tsimikas to the center serve and pressed the ball with his head through the bounce handsomely to the ceiling.
VAR awarded West Ham a point at the end of the opening half. Jarrod Bowen couldn’t stand the pressure in front of Kopi and shot instead Alisson’s within reach.
– It was a tough, tough match, Alisson summed up according to the BBC.
– When the goalkeeper saves a tougher, it’s always a huge deal. I’m really happy that I was able to save and drive my team to victory.
