MADRID, 30 (EUROPA PRESS)
Manchester United placed second in the English Premier League qualifying table after winning agonizingly by the minimum (1-0) against Wolverhampton at Old Trafford, while Mikel Arteta took a breath after Arsenal’s victory at Brighton (0 -1), in matches corresponding to the sixteenth day of the championship.
The ‘Red Devils’ want to present their candidacy to fight for the title for the first time in many years and will end 2020 close to the leadership of Liverpool, which leads them by two points in the absence of the ‘reds’ playing this Wednesday against Newcastle .
Anyway, those of Ole-Gunnar Solsjkaer found the fortune they did not have on ‘Boxing Day’ against the always complicated Wolverhampton. If against Leicester City, an own goal deprived them of three points, this time it was a goal from Marcus Rashford in the 94th minute that gave them the win.
In addition, the Arsenal of the Spanish Mikel Arteta sees the danger recede somewhat after adding their second consecutive victory. After winning the derby against Chelsea (3-1) with authority, the ‘Gunners’ had a worse time in the Brighton field, which fell due to a goal by Frenchman Lacazette to chain their seventh day without winning.
Southampton extended their games to four without winning after drawing without goals against West Ham and losing the opportunity to get hooked to the upper zone, while Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds Unite thrashed West Bronwich Albion 0-5 with a goal from Rodrigo Moreno. Bottom line Sheffield United fell to Burnley and is still without a win.
