MADRID, 3 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Manchester United beat Arsenal (3-2) this Thursday at the close of matchday 14 of the Premier, to tighten the fight for the ‘Top 4’ as Tottenham did when they beat Brentford (2-0).
A Cristiano Ronaldo double, celebrated by United as goals 800 and 801 of the Portuguese career, saved the ‘red devils’ in what ended up being the farewell of Michael Carrick.
After the match, the former player ended his interim position when Ralf Rangnick was already waiting his turn to catch a United that, despite several blows, is three points behind fourth place. Arsenal, at one, started by scoring through Smith-Rowe.
It was the first controversy, since David de Gea was lying on the ground, the referee canceled the goal, but the VAR told him that the action had been between teammates. All in all, Bruno Fernandes leveled before the break and Cristiano Ronaldo rounded off the job.
The Portuguese put his team ahead on two occasions, with Oedegaard making it 2-2 but later committing the penalty that the visitors protested but which ended up being 3-2. United is alive like Antonio Conte’s Tottenham. Canós, own goal, and Son Heung-Min allow the ‘Spurs’ to see two points from the fourth place held by West Ham.
