New Delhi: Manchester United’s horror run in the Premier League continued on Sunday, May 11 as they suffered a humiliating 2-0 defeat against West Ham at Old Trafford. United suffered their 17th league defeat of the season, the most in over 50 years. Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen scored to help West Ham sink a spineless United side.
Eberechi Eze scored a brace to help Crystal Palace beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 and warm up in style for the FA Cup final against Manchester City. Palace were comfortably the better side throughout the contest as they dominated the proceedings against Spurs. Meanwhile, relegated Leicester City played a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest to land a blow to their chances of securing European football next season.
Manchester United 0-2 West Ham
After a clinical display against Athletic Bilbao in the second leg of their Europa League final, Manchester United were hoping to continue their winning run against West Ham in the Premier League. However, Ruben Amorim’s men were beaten comprehensively at home. West Ham beat United 2-0 at Old Trafford with the help of goals from Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen.
Soucek opened the scoring for West Ham in the 26th minute to put them ahead before Bowen capitalised on a pass from former United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka to slot it home and seal a 2-0 victory for the visitors. United have now remained winless in their last seven Premier League matches, equalling their unwanted record of their worst run in 1992.
Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace delivered an exceptional performance to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0. Eberechi Eze bagged a brace for the Eagles with a goal on either side of the interval to wrap up a comfortable win for Palace. Eze scored the opener on the brink of half-time when he netted from a pass from Daniel Munoz from close range.
Eze made it 2-0 after the break with another brilliant strike. Two goals from the England international were enough for Palace to close out a victory against Spurs, who will be taking on Manchester United in the all-English Europa League final on May 22. Palace will take a lot of confidence from their performance ahead of their FA Cup final against Manchester City on May 17.
Nottingham Forest 2-2 Leicester City
Facundo Buonanotte scored a late goal to help Leicester City pull off a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday. Leicester took the lead in the 16th minute when Conor Coady struck on a rebound after Bilal El Khannouss’ long-range effort was spilt by the Forest keeper.
Forest equalised nine minutes later with Gibbs-White scoring from a towering header. Chris Wood made it 2-1 for Forest in the 56th minute after heading home from a cross from Gibbs-White. Forest seemed to be walking home with all three points before Buonanotte’s equaliser in the 81st minute crushed their hopes.
The 2-2 draw came as a huge blow to Forest’s Hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season as they are now in the 7th spot with 62 points from 36 matches so far this season.
West Ham defeated Manchester United 2-0 while Crystal Palace warmed up in style with a 2-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
