Manchester United beat Everton with two penalties caused by Garnacho
MADRID, 9 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Arsenal beat Brentford 2-1, with a saving header from Kai Havertz, and became the provisional leader of the Premier League during a matchday 28 that this Saturday saw Manchester United beat Everton 2-0, thanks to two penalties caused by Álex Garnacho, and also Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Fulham at home (2-1).
The most attractive duel of the day took place at the Emirates Stadium, where the locals opened the scoring in the 19th minute thanks to a goal from Declan Rice, who in the rival area headed a precise cross from Ben White with his right foot into the net. On the brink of half-time, Brentford equalized through Yoane Wissa after a huge mistake by Aaron Ramsdale when clearing.
However, Mikel Arteta’s men did not let up and throughout the second half they pushed until they found the boot in the 86th minute, when a pass filtered by Martin Odegaard to the unmarked Ben White preceded a temperate cross that Havertz finished off with his head at point-blank range. This put Arsenal in the lead with 64 points and left Brentford down with 26.
On the other hand, at Old Trafford, the ‘red devils’ saved the furniture against an Everton that shot more, but without success. Garnacho forced a penalty in the 12th minute, scored by Bruno Fernandes, and another in the 36th minute, converted by Marcus Rashford. This victory helped Manchester United reach 47 points and settle in sixth position; On the other hand, the Toffees are sixteenth with 25 points (after their sanction).
Furthermore, at the Molineux Stadium, the victory remained at home due to the better aim of Rayan Aït-Nouri, author of the 1-0 for the ‘wolves’ at the beginning of the second half. An own goal from Tom Cairney extended the local advantage and a goal from Alex Iwobi in injury time did not prevent the defeat of Fulham, who has 35 points; Meanwhile, Wolverhampton has 41.
