Historical result against a group of ninths. Last season, Southampton suffered a 9-0 draw at Leicester in an embarrassing performance, in what would have seemed like a result not to be repeated in England. Sure and sure for the same group. Tonight (Tuesday) the Saints were humiliated with 9: 0 from Manchester United. Against nine players the Red Devils ran over until the last minutes and equalized their balance at the top to that of Manchester City, with the runner-up with two games missing.
United came into the fight after scoring a point from 6 in the last two league games and just exploded on the grass. The spirit of the team is reflected in what its manager, Ola Gunnar Solskjaer, told his trainees at 0: 6 in the 80th minute. “You have ten more minutes, try to conquer more,” the Norwegian begged. So they listened to the end with three goals in the last six minutes on the way to equaling the Premier League record.
This is the third time in Premier League history that a team has won 0: 9, and also for the first time, like tonight, it was Manchester United who defeated Ipswich in 1995. In addition, United had seven different scorers tonight and is the second team ever to do so in the league, after Chelsea against Aston Villa in 2012.
Aside from the astronomical result, Solskjaer’s Joker, Bruno Fernandez, also went on with his numbers. He netted two goals and reached 16 assists in 36 Premier League appearances. Only the legendary Eric Cantona and Dimitri Fayette provided the same number in fewer appearances, when they did so in 36 games.
Marcus Rashford He said at the end: “The first half in which we led 0: 4 gave us confidence. It is always good to score a lot of goals and we are happy. We needed this victory because we lost points in recent games. We did not really look at Liverpool. We focus on ourselves, we are not ready but we will continue. Work and improve to meet our goals.
Rashford entered the history books and surpassed Cantona in United’s all-time top scorers table, with 83 conquests. “Eric is a player at the highest level, who has done so much for this club, so I am pleased. For me I just want to keep scoring goals for Manchester United.”
Solshiar He added: “We need to know how to take advantage of our situations in close games or ones that have already been decided. It is never possible to know what will be the deciding factor in the season. We know better than anyone what a goal difference can do for us because we lost the championship due to a goal difference.”
