It was evident from the start of the game that United
The players' pressing is more aggressive compared to the previous games, in addition to the aggressiveness of the attack has increased a lot, usually will choose to knock back or conservative passes, in this game will try to make a breakthrough or forward transmission, but also let Arsenal
No way to make an effective offense very easily.
But Manchester United
In the 13th minute, De Gea was stabbed again by his teammates, a familiar insider defense from recent games. Originally, it was just a simple corner kick, but as soon as the ball was tipped out by Maguire, Rowe shot directly at the goal, and at the same time De Gea was seen falling in front of the goal line, and the referee whistled instead of ruling on the goal immediately after the ball was in the net.
It was clear through the replay that the culprit was none other than Fred, and even more bizarrely he didn't do it because an attacking player pushed and shoved, but rather he turned around on his own and picked his spikes on De Gea's foot, United
It was also very feeble to drop a point, Arsenal
1:0 lead.
Compare that to a couple of previous conversations with stronger teams, United
Tonight showed a marked difference on the offensive end, even Maguire and Lindelof took several chances to get involved in the midfield, and against the onslaught of the home team, Arsenal
It is also not afraid to get involved in the counterattack with quick passes.
Arsenal (name)
It was a shame that Saka was missing from this game, otherwise the few times he launched himself against Telles with speed he nearly broke through, good thing Telles has started a few games and didn't give Arsenal an easy time of it
chances, while Aubameyang's godawful hiding resulted in Arsenal
A serious dip in the threat up front didn't bother De Gea much, something that United
As well, several attacks failed to threaten Ramsdale and the most threatening attack throughout the 40 minutes of the first half was probably a long range shot from Maguire.
The stalemate changed on 43 minutes when White made a feeble clearance pass to Maguire who stepped in to attack, at the same time Sancho, who had been quiet on the left, began to start, at the same time Fred caught an overly large gap in the middle of the Elneny and Partey defense to insert himself into the penalty area, and just at the moment when it looked as though he was about to drop the ball White didn't notice beside him Crowe.
Has changed, with Crow
Bruno Fernandes, in the cross position, scored with a direct shot to break his own goal drought and help United
1:1 to tie the game.
