Buried in the second part of the Premier League table, Manchester United and Tottenham lost again on Sunday afternoon, respectively against Brighton (1-3) and Everton (3-2).
Manchester United were doing better. At least, Ruben Amorim's team remained on two miraculous successes, on penalties in the 32nd final of the FA Cup against Arsenal and against Southampton during the week, after a hat-trick at the end of the match signed by Amad Diallo. The Red Devils returned to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon for a 10th defeat in 22 Premier League days, when Brighton (1-3) came. What sinks ever more in the second part of the season, with the threat of a fight for maintenance looming…
Despite an equalizing penalty from Bruno Fernandes (23rd), the Mancunians took to the water on a few attacks from the Seagulls. Gambian winger Yankuba Minteh opened the scoring on a serve from Kaoru Mitoma (5th), the Japanese will-o-the-wisp gave his team the advantage back on the hour mark (60th) and Bleuet Georginio Rutter took advantage of a ridiculous offering from André Onana to shower Old Trafford even more (76th). Alongside horrible Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro also took the plunge.
Tottenham humiliated like United
At the same time, it was Tottenham, another poorly ranked player, who was mishandled on the Everton field. Ange Postecoglou's Spurs conceded two superb goals from Calvert-Lewin (13th) and Iliman Ndiaye (30th). The attacking midfielder recruited from OM produced a superb sequence of right leg pass, left hook and left goal! An unfortunate csc from Archie Gray crushed Tottenham (45th + 7), who however reignited the suspense in the second half by Dejan Kulusevski (77th) and Richarlison in added time (92nd).
Man United thus finds itself 13th, 10 points behind the first relegated team, Ipswich, while Tottenham are two points less. The two teams must quickly recover next week in the PL, respectively against Fulham and the penultimate Leicester.
