Manchester United Recorded Most Often Get Penalty

DBasia.news – Manchester United are listed as the team that gets the most penalty kicks in Premiere League matches. The note was added again when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad visited the Tottenham Hotspur headquarters.

Manchester United played 1-1 when they visited Tottenham Hotspur’s headquarters in the 2019-2020 Premier Legaue match, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday (6/19). The Red Devils’ equalizer was made through the white point.

Although not dominating the possession of the ball, but Tottenham Hotspur lef first. That is indeed one of the benefits of the survival tactics carried by Jose Mourinho.

Tottenham took the lead in the 27^th minute through Steven Bergwijn. The Dutch international released a hard kick which David de Gea failed to save well.

The goal made Manchester United get more attacking spirit. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also included players who have high attacking instincts such as Mason Greenwood, Paul Pogba, and Odion Ighalo.

What Manchester United hoped for happened in the 80^th minute. Paul Pogba pushed into the penalty box of The Lilywhites from the left side. Then, Pogba’s action was intercepted by Dier.

The referee does not hesitate to point to the white dot. Although a number of Tottenham players protested, the referee remained unmoved.

Bruno Fernandes who was appointed as the executor carried out his job well. He placed the ball to the right side of Hugo Lloris.

Based on Opta Joe’s records, since last season Manchester United were indeed a club that often got penalties in the Premier League. The Red Devils got 23 penalty kicks. The number is nine more than other teams.

Meanwhile, an additional one point would not change the position of Manchester United in fifth place standings. But now, the distance from Chelsea in fourth place is two points adrift.
