Amazing! Manchester United Concedes Two Stunning Corner Kick Goals in One Week
Manchester United’s recent woes deepened dramatically with the team conceding two incredibly rare goals directly from corner kicks within the span of just seven days. The first, a breathtaking strike by Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min, was followed a week later by another stunning goal, this time courtesy of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Cunha. This unprecedented sequence of events has sent shockwaves through the football world and left many questioning Manchester United’s defensive strategy.
Son’s goal, scored during the Carabao Cup quarterfinals on December 20th, was a thing of beauty. He expertly curled a right-footed corner kick into the net, leaving goalkeeper Altai Bayındır with no chance. A week later,on December 27th,Cunha replicated the feat,scoring a similarly notable goal against Manchester United in a Premier League match at Molineux Stadium. This time, Andre Onana was unable to prevent the goal.
The rarity of such goals makes this double whammy even more remarkable. International media outlets echoed the astonishment. Argentina’s TNT Sports exclaimed, “I can’t believe it,” adding, “Manchester United has conceded a goal directly from a corner kick for the second time in a week.” Indonesia’s Paktabola highlighted the similarity of the two goals, noting that “Son Heung-min scored directly from a corner kick against Bayındır, and a week later, Mateusz Cunha scored directly from a corner kick against Onana.”
Mexico’s Excelsior also commented on the situation, stating, “Another excellent goal was scored,” and highlighting that “Man Utd allowed another corner kick goal. This time, Matheus Cunha scored the goal, not Son Heung-min. Manchester United, who conceded a corner kick goal to Son Heung-min on the 20th, allowed a goal to Matheus Cunha in the same manner. “It came from the same position as Son Heung-min’s goal,” they explained.
this double blow leaves Manchester United reeling, having suffered three consecutive losses, the last two punctuated by these remarkable conceded goals. The team’s defensive vulnerabilities are now under intense scrutiny, prompting questions about their tactical approach and overall preparedness.
