London: Manchester United are third in the English Premier League with a resounding victory. The mighty Tottenham Hotspur knelt in front of Lester at home. Aston Villa thrashed West Bromwich Albion 3-1. In another match yesterday, Brighton & Ho and Sheffield United drew 1-1.
Manchester United jumped to third place in the points table, beating Leeds United by six goals to two at Old Trafford. Scott McDonagh became the first Premier League player to score two goals in three minutes, leading to United’s masculine performance. The goals were scored in the second and third minutes by McTomney. Bruno Fernandez (20) and Victor Lindelof (37) found the back of the net to give the hosts a four-goal lead in the first half. Before the break, Leeds scored a goal through Liam Coopery (42nd minute).
Although not as deadly as in the first three quarters, United continued to score after the break. Daniel James (66) scored the fifth goal, while Bruno Fernandes doubled the lead with McDomini in the 70th minute from the penalty spot. In the 73rd minute, Stuart Dallas scored one more goal but left Leeds Old Trafford with a four-goal deficit.
The victory over strategist Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds hinted that Gunnar Soulsher and his team would be at the forefront of the title race this time around. Portugal’s Bruno Fernandez also failed to find the back of the net, but Frenchman Anthony Marcel also shone for United. Leeds’ hopes were dashed in the second half when United were held to a goalless draw by goalkeeper David Dehia. Leeds’ defeat was lessened by the United players wasting their chances after six overs. This is United’s first goal in the Premier League since beating Arsenal 8-2 in 2011.
With the win, Manchester United finished third in the league with 26 points. The fact that Liverpool, who are in the top two, has played one game less than Leicester, has also opened the door for United to reach the top of the table.
‘Sala dissatisfied with Anfield’
London: Superstar Mohamed Salah is rumored to be unhappy at Liverpool. Salah’s teammate Mohamed Aboutrika was behind the revelation. The ex-partner says that he has spoken to Salah directly and many of these things cannot be said openly in public. Salah is ready to leave the team as he is not happy at Anfield.
Realizing this, the Liverpool management is also preparing to sell the player. Neither Salah nor Liverpool officials have commented on the news.
