Manchester United have not been able to recover from the 7-0 defeat to Liverpool. Erik ten Hag’s team, reduced to ten men, did not get further than a 0-0 draw against Southampton at home. League-leaders Arsenal did win.
Manchester United – Southampton 0-0
At first it did not seem that Manchester United would lose points, because Ten Hag’s team was dominant and soon had opportunities. Marcus Rashford was close by. Also arrived The Mancunians well away from a moment from Theo Walcott, where goalkeeper David De Gea had to save. Southampton was helped in the saddle after half an hour when Casemiro was immediately red after going too hard on his opponent. The referee dismissed it with yellow, but after interference from the VAR it turned red.
Southampton showed more balls and also had chances to stop Old Trafford after the break. Again Walcott encountered De Gea, after which Fernandes had an opportunity to 1-0. Ten Hag’s offensive substitutions no longer yielded a goal. Manchester United’s lead over number four Tottenham Hotspur is still two points.
Fulham – Arsenal 0-3
With a 0-3 win over Fulham, Arsenal is five points ahead of Manchester City. The game was more or less decided in the first half. Gabriel Magalhaes scored after 21 minutes, after which Gabriel Martinelli also contributed. Thanks to a nice goal just before half-time from Martin Odegaard, Arsenal already won the three points. Gabriel Jesus made his comeback in the final phase. The leader of the Premier League will face Crystal Palace next Sunday.
