Ten Hag and United lose points against Burnley due to wild action Onana | Sport

--

Manchester United suffered a painful loss of points against Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday. Trainer Erik ten Hag finally saw Antony score again, but due to a stupid action by goalkeeper André Onana, this did not result in a victory. The score was 1-1 against the low-flyer at Old Trafford.

In the 79th minute, Antony scored his first Premier League goal of the season. The Brazilian, who came from Ajax for 100 million euros in 2022, picked up the ball and was faster than Burnley’s defenders. He finally scored with a low shot in the corner.

The goal put United at 1-0, but eight minutes later the score was level again. Onana came out of his goal with a high cross and missed the ball with his hand. He did hit Burnley substitute Zeki Amdouni in the head and so the visitors were awarded a penalty. Amdouni himself stood behind the ball and put the 1-1 final score on the scoreboard.

The draw means United continue to struggle, while rumors of Ten Hag’s departure are increasing. The twenty-time national champion is sixth.

Also bad day for Liverpool

Liverpool also had a bad day in the Premier League. The Dutch-style team of coach Jürgen Klopp had to win at West Ham United on Saturday to have a realistic chance of winning the championship, but drew 2-2.

In a week in which Liverpool was mainly about the impending arrival of Arne Slot, Liverpool wanted to recover from the midweek 2-0 defeat at Everton. Nevertheless, the start was not good for ‘The Reds’.

Although Liverpool were stronger in the London Stadium and hit the post through Luis Diaz, West Ham took the lead. Jarrod Bowen headed the ball past goalkeeper Alisson Becker just before half time.

Liverpool turned things around via Andy Robertson (a hidden shot) and an own goal – created by a shot by Cody Gakpo. But Michail Antonio made the final score 2-2 with a clever header.

Gakpo, Van Dijk and Gravenberch played the entire match with Klopp’s team, which lost for the second time in a row. A dream farewell with a national title does not seem to be possible for the retiring coach. Premier League leader Arsenal has two points more, but also played one game less. City is one point ahead of Liverpool, but has played two fewer matches.

Sheffield United are relegated from the Premier League

Newcastle United sealed the fate of Sheffield United with a 5-1 win on Saturday. The visitors took the lead in Newcastle, but collapsed after a 1-1 halftime score in the second half. The defeat means that relegation is a fact for Sheffield after one year in the Premier League.

Anel Ahmedhodzic gave Sheffield the lead in the fifth minute on a pass from Dutchman Gustavo Hamer. Former Willem II player Alexander Isak scored the equalizer, after which Newcastle made it 5-1 through Bruno Guimarães, again Isak (penalty kick), an own goal by Ben Osborn and Callum Wilson.

Sheffield United is the first certain relegation this Premier League season. It became clear on Friday evening that Leicester City will be promoted from the Championship. The 2016 national champion returns to the highest level after a season.

Fulham against Crystal Palace ended 1-1 on Saturday. Rodrigo Muniz scored for Fulham and Jeffrey Schlupp was accurate on behalf of the visitors. Wolverhampton was too strong for Luton Town at home with 2-1. Hwang Hee-chan and Toti Gomes scored for the home side and Luton’s goal came from Carlton Morris. The Dutchman Tahith Chong completed the ninety minutes for the visitors.
