Newcastle vs MU football results 18/10 Premier League 2020

Final: Newcastle 1-4 MU

Points: Luke Shaw (2 goals) – Maguire (23); Bruno Fernandes (86); Wan-Bissaka (90); Rashford (90 + 6)

Two weeks after the historic 1-6 loss to Tottenham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer returned to work in a very bad mood. In the history of attending the Premier League (since 1992), MU has never lost 3 matches after only 4 rounds of the season.

During his time, Solskjaer had 8 meetings with Newcastle and won all 8, scoring 4 goals and 2 assists to create goals. Now as manager, Solskjaer will again face Newcastle with a suspended dismissal over his head. It is known that during the time the national teams played for the past two weeks, the Man United Board of Directors had met and set out to fire Solskjaer.

Before Newcastle, coach Solskajer decided to arrange for Rashford to kick when Martial was suspended and rookie Cavani was in the Covid-19 isolation period. Contrary to some reports that Bruno Fernandes will be quarantined when he returns to England due to close contact with superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (already infected with Covid-19) on the Portuguese national team, the midfielder still plays as a pitcher. often.

Besides Bruno Fernandes vs Rashford, the two remaining names on the attack line are arranged in a 4-2-3-1 table, Juan Mata and Daniel James, two names rarely played since the start of the 2020 season / twenty-one. In particular, Mata played well when he started in the British League Cup.

On defense, despite the performance of the midfielder duo Victor Lindelof vs. Harry Maguire at a level that couldn’t be worse, they were still on the headline list. Remember, after making a serious mistake in the loss to Tottenham, Maguire left for England and continued to experience disastrous moments.

The most expensive midfielder on the planet has “contributed” greatly to England’s 1-0 loss to Denmark on 15 October. Many experts believe that Maguire is very stressed psychologically, but Solsa still does not dare to eliminate him because there is no other possible option.

Meanwhile, two rookies, Donny Van de Beek and Alex Telles, are still sitting on the bench with prop Paul Pogba and old General Matic. The center of the field was loaned to McTominay with Fred, two players who did not meet the requirements when it came to playing this season. But like the history of defense, nowadays, in the MU team, the number of good players cannot be counted all in one hand, the rest are equally bad.

Time passed less than 2 minutes, De Gea’s net had to vibrate and the bitter scorer replaced … Luke Shaw. In a quick unfolding of Newcastle’s attack, the ball was pushed to the right wing for Krafth and this player was put into the restricted area of ​​the MU quite simply, but Shaw fumbled to break the ball and burn the net.

Being coached from very early made all the ideas that Coach Solskjaer sketched out quickly went awry. To save his chair, the Norwegian military leader has no choice but to urge his students to form the platoon to attack, but the “Red Devils” have to face countless challenges due to the swarm of “Gunshots”. manufacture”.

The visitors’ first significant opportunity was a situation where Daniel James dropped the ball so that Rashford put his heart to a distance of about 15 meters in the 14th minute, but the ball hit a Newcastle defender and went flying. A few minutes later, the English striker was still the English striker, driving the ball gently from the left wing into the center and finishing off with a kick-off.

In the 19th minute, Newcaslte’s net had to vibrate after Bruno Fernandes’ elegant kick, but the joy was short-lived when the VAR team confirmed that Mata was offside by pushing the ball for Bruno to finish off.

However, only until the 23rd minute did MU have a “100% genuine” EQ. Juan Mata took a corner and midfielder captain Harry Maguire picked the right spot to hit his head dangerously, without giving goalkeeper Darlow a chance. The hit now was really valuable and useful for Maguire when faced with so much pressure.

In the 30th minute, David De Gea expressed pain after Sain-Maximin’s long-distance effort to fly, but the number 1 MU goalkeeper was lucky not to be injured and was still able to play.

Overall MU played quite well after leveling the score. They deploy a relatively coherent and well-defined attack. Goalkeeper Darlow had to salvage some situations after a slightly deep right cross from Wan-Bissaka or a powerful cannon from Rashford’s 20-meter range.

In the 51st minute, De Gea had extremely quick reflexes to stop Callum Wilson’s close-range shot after a Saint-Maximin cross on the left flank. In minute 57, MU stood before the “golden opportunity” to lead the table and win the final.

For example, after careful discussion with the VAR team, as well as directly off the field to review the situation through the screen, the referee has come to the final conclusion that Lewis fouled Rashford in the 16m50 area from Newcastle, for which MU of course receives a penalty.

As always, Bruno Fernandes was in charge of kicking 11 meters and this time he did not use the “flute jump” technique. It is unclear if that was why the Portuguese midfielder failed when goalkeeper Darlow correctly guessed his intention to shoot the ball. So in the 11th time he was assigned a penalty kick in MU, Bruno Fernandes could not be as successful as the previous 10 times.

After 60 minutes, Maguire had a double header goal to join the corner if Shelvey was not on the line to rescue the home team. A few minutes later, the opportunity to eat again came to Rashford after Daniel James’ pass, but the MU number 10 could not get the ball into the net, despite the fact that only the rival remained in the short term.

To improve attacking power and score a winning goal, coach Solskjaer threw Pogba and Van de Beek onto the field. And then, in the 86th minute, the Norwegian military leader was able to stand up and applaud the student after the second table.

It was Van de Beek who won the ball in the home court and calmly deployed Bruno Fernandes to attack. The ball then passed to Juan Mata, Rashford and was returned by the English striker to Portugal’s “number 10” with an improvised heel kick. Without falling offside, Bruno Fernandes accurately pleaded with the high corner, not giving Darlow a chance.

Without stopping there, 90 + 1 minutes, still Rashford had a reasonable pass for Wan-Bissaka to escape before launching the shot with his left foot and hitting the roof of Newcastle’s net.

It seemed like Rashford only had a predestined relationship in this match, then in the closing seconds (in the 6th minute of injury time), he got his name on the electronic board. The forward was born in 1997 with strong speed to catch an exemplary long pass from Bruno Fernandes from the home field, beating Krafth who was “out of breath” and coldly defeated goalkeeper Darlow.

In the end, MU suddenly had a huge 4-1 win thanks to the late-game blast. Although professionally, the recent victory is not very significant, but it is certainly very valuable mentally, helping MU temporarily overcome the current difficulties towards two difficult matches within the next week – they will face PSG in the group stage of the Champions League and Chelsea in the Premier League.
