DBasia.news – Unfortunate results were obtained by Manchester United when against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday (4/10/2020) local time.
Having taken the lead from Bruno Fernandes’ penalty in the second minute, United were helpless to stem Jose Mourinho’s Spurs play until they created six goals from two goals from Son Heung-min (7 ’37’), Harry Kane (30 ’79’ penalty), and goals from Tanguy Ndombele (4 ‘) and Serge Aurier (51’) respectively.
Man United’s misfortune was increased by a red card received by Anthony Martial in the 28th minute. United could only release two attempts on target from a total of five kicks, controlling 38 percent of the ball.
According to Squawka’s records, it was the worst defeat suffered by Man United from a total of four defeats that occurred in October. First in October 1996 when they lost 0-5 to Newcastle United, then lost 0-5 to Chelsea in October 1999, 1-6 to Manchester City in October 2011, and finally against Spurs with a score of 1-6 in October 2020.
Even in the defeats that occurred in 2011 and 2020 there were similarities between one United player who received a red card, and two opposing players who scored two goals in one match.
In 2011 Jonny Evans received a red card and Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko scored two goals, while this year Martial received the red card and two goals were scored by Son and Kane.
“The defeat was due to a lack of concentration and then one mistake after the other. We fell silently. It really hurt,” Luke Shaw told Sky Sports.
“Manchester United shouldn’t lose this way. It really hurts, it’s a shame and we’ve let a lot of people down. We’ve let ourselves and the staff down.”
“Whoever is on the pitch, whatever the score is, the players on the pitch are the ones who have to take responsibility. We are given the tactics, the responsibility the players need to do, but when you are on the pitch the manager can give advice, but we are in the field. “
“We need to reflect, we are far from the expected performance. Maybe it’s lucky we can have an international break at this time.”
“When we play with 10 players maybe we give up, there is no character on the pitch. We are too quiet and naive. There are a lot of mistakes, we need to do more. It’s a shame. I am embarrassed on the pitch. We need to see ourselves for a while, “concluded Shaw. h bany�?P#�
