Spurs are alive: Manchester slips after two-goal lead in London

Manchester United made a big mistake in the last match of the 33rd round of the Premier League. The Red Devils had a two-goal advantage in north London, a chance to take all three points from Tottenham for the third time in a row, but for the second time in the last two weeks, they suffered an incredible second-half slump. It was Deja-Vu from the first game in the Europa League against Sevilla. United managed not to win an already won game and remains in the fourth and last spot which leads to the Champions League: Tottenham – Manchester United 2-2. After receiving five goals in 20 minutes against Newcastle and parting ways with interim coach Stellini, Ryan Mason took over, and Spurs showed character, at least in the second half of the game, trying to repay their fans for recent performances. Still, recent results seems to have put the Spurs in a difficult situation, since they are six points behind Manchester, and they have played two more games. So, the reality is that Tottenham didn’t use this last opportunity to catch up with the Red Devils and will fight with Liverpool and Aston Villa for the Europa League place. In this match, Tottenham made an improvement, but still conceded the first goal within 10 minutes. Jadon Sancho received the ball on the left wing from Marcus Rashford, moved slightly to the side and sent the ball into the far corner in response to criticism from Paul Scholes that he “must liven it up”. United set a high tempo at the start of the match, Tottenham managed to respond, there was excitement on both sides, although the guests were closer to the second goal. Sancho had a chance again ten minutes after he scored the first goal, Christian Romero blocked his first shot, the winger beat Fraser Forster from the kick-off, but Ivan Perišić prevented a clear goal on the goal line.And he almost scored an equalizer on the other side. First after hour an hour, also with a header after a corner, then at the end of the half on the counterattack – but both shots were saved by David De Gea. Literally in the next attack, United went to plus two. The Tottenham defenders freed up their entire half for Rashford to attack them, leaving him one-on-one with Eric Dier. There was no escape for the Spurs defender, Rashford easily ran past him, launched the ball into the near corner and silenced the home fans before the break.However, the fans were quickly excited, maily by Pedro Poro. He was concentrated after a fuss in the penalty area, was the first to run into the ball after Harry Kane’s blocked shot and volleyed the ball against the first post and brought the crowd to their feet. Not even a minute had passed, Bruno Fernandes nearly scored the third, but his shot shook the frame of the goal. And then Kane sent another perfect ball to Son, who was left alone at the second post, and although this season he is playing far below the level of the previous ones, the Korean striker does not miss two identical chances. He placed the ball past De Gea and scored for the 24th time with Kane’s assist, confirming once again that this is one of the best tandems in Premier League history.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 33TuesdayWolverhampton – Crystal Palace 1-0 (1-0)/Andersen 3 (og)/Aston Villa – Fulham 1-0 (1-0)/Mings 21/Leeds – Leicester 1-1 (0-0)/Sinisterra 20 – Vardy 80/WednesdayNott.
