Distribution of points for two very even rivals who have not been able to tip the balance in their favor. An Iraola who had been on a streak with three victories in his last four games and with the award for best coach of the month in the Premier League, has not been able to against a Manchester United that continues to leave doubts in its wake.
The game would start very even for both teams, quick and fleeting possessions would be constant in a few minutes where no one had control of the ball. The first chance of the game would be for Solanke, a 26-year-old forward who has scored 16 goals in the league this season, who tried from any position. Precisely the forward would be one of the main protagonists of the match with his goal in the 16th minute. The pass was from the Argentine Marcos Senesi, who received it with excellent control to knock down Kambwala with a break and put it into the net with a good shot to the right side of Onana.
Iraola’s team would be the one that would have the greatest number of chances. The runs on the left side by Kerkez and Ouattara were overcoming a Dalot who was overwhelmed by the lack of support in defense. A warning from Marcus Rashford was enough for another play started by him to be taken to the boots of Garnacho who made a good pass to the center of the area. Among the wave of legs it was Bruno Fernandes who smashed the ball into the net, leveling the score.
The joy of the tie for Manchester would last five minutes since with a long possession that would end again on the left side of Justin Kluivert, it would be the Dutchman who with a dribble adjusted it to shoot and put his team ahead again . The Red Devils’ defense did not show much opposition, so Bournemouth’s attacks became increasingly more accurate and dangerous.
The second half would begin with Manchester United more active in possession, but still without creating danger. The change of Diallo for Garnacho at half-time would not give the results desired by Erik Ten Hag and they still did not have things clear in advanced positions.
However, in the 64th minute controversy would break out. A rejected ball after a shot by Mainoo hits Smith’s hand inside the area and referee Tony Harrington signals a penalty. From the maximum penalty, Bruno Fernandes did not fail, thus certifying his double and the tie of the match. Despite the local teams’ attempts to get ahead, Kluivert’s injury was decisive for a team that focused its offensive play on him. In the final minutes a foul on the edge of the Kambwala area could have been a great opportunity to score a goal if not for Unal’s mistake.
The next stop for Ten Hag’s team is the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City and on the Bournemouth side they will have to go to Villa Park to fight for the three points in a duel of Spanish coaches with Unai Emery.
Wedge supports Wolverhampton
The success of Brazilian Matheus Cunha, the architect of his team’s two goals, sustained Wolverhampton at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest, which still marks its permanence in the Premier and achieved a point (2-2) that allows it to follow the margin of the relegation places. Cunha’s inspiration put the local team in check.
Brentford did not waste the visit to the Community Stadium in London of the bottom team, Sheffield United, to rediscover the victory (1-0) after nine days of the Premier without adding the three points. Sheffield had the misfortune of losing with an own goal, on the hour mark, which opened the scoring. It was from Ollie Arblaster, who tried to intercept a shot from Mikkel Damsgaard, deflected the ball and put it into his goal. The second goal came in added time. He was signed by Frank Onyeka after receiving a cross from Kevin Schade.
Burnley missed another opportunity and once again missed two key points in their fight to stay in the Premier League after drawing 1-1 with Brighton. And the draw was harder because Burnley almost won. They went ahead on the scoreboard with a quarter of an hour remaining, when Josh Brownhill took advantage of a defensive error to make it 1-0. However, the joy of the crowd at Turf Moor collapsed shortly after, when Arijanet Muric equalized the match with an own goal that left Burnley without a couple of points and left Brighton equal in the middle of the table. with nothing at stake.
