Look the other way, this time Dávinson Sánchez wasn’t even on the bench: Tottenham lost 1-3 to Manchester United at home, a fatal result in their quest to get into European positions.
Mourinho’s team saw his mighty opponents overcome him, who rose from a controversy with the VAR and a goal against and settled in second place in the Premier (still 11 points behind M. City), while the homeowner was in seventh. parked, 6 points from the Champions League and 5 points from the Europa League. They won’t be able to blame Colombian Dávinson Sánchez this time, who they didn’t even take on the bench …
The match started with a clear option for United, as Cavani and Rashford met and the latter failed, against a cautious Tottenham, with two approaches, not so many options, from Son. The need was his, by local and by urgency in the table, but it was the match that Mourinho wanted in the first phase, with more lack than anything.
And at 34, total bewilderment: Solksjaer and especially Cavani spread their arms without understanding anything. A nice game was canceled, a flawless departure from Pogba, a liveliness of the Uruguayan and a crossed definition, a goal action with the seal of United, which in the end was not due to the VAR, which at least found a fault in the beginning debatable, a hit from McTominay to Son in a fight that seemed normal, and everything was canceled from then on.
Fate wanted it to be the Korean himself, at 39, who took advantage of the rival’s impotence, in a genius of Kane (one of many) to open the pass for Lucas Moura and, in another great decision, made he made the change up front for Son, who arrived only 1-0.
Cavani won the yellow card for a foul on Rodon, a display of restrained anger that ended the first episode.
And there was an addition with two teams really determined to play football, not lose. And that’s always good news! Cavani was the first to be cheered on in a shot that Lloris demanded, just the prelude to the draw, which was the Uruguayan’s service to Brazilian Fred, a deadly game that marked the 1-1.
And Tottenham woke up when Mourinho applauded in line and Kane in a match wanted Henderson to disapprove of him and United knew it was a matter of insistence, as Bruno did with a beautiful cross that Lloris scratched, and patiently waits for the prize to come Arriving in front of the 10th man of the match, the good Edinson: at the age of 79, the play of the Portuguese was born and the one born in Salto threw himself out of ‘popcorn’ for the 2-1 which he celebrated with anger and with a warm hug from his teammates, one It seemed to be screaming to stay!
He lost to the Chilean Aurier with 10 left to the end and Kane crashed to the post at 83 and entered the field ((why!) Gareth Bale and the homeowner took off against the rival goal, but there was no fortune, instead Greenwood , who just appeared, scored a goal at 95, after a genius in the help of Pogba for the 1-3 final.
All bad for the ‘Spurs’, who knew they could lose to the second best in the Prime Minister, but not so bad, with so much uncertainty in the reaction, with so much pain.
