Manchester United is now 2nd in the Premier League standings. I did not expect that to happen this season. After a dismal start to the season, they've improved a lot since then.
Warning, spoilers coming up. ... ... ... Manchester United had this win in the bag until that spectacular free kick from Olise in stoppage time. There was no way De Gea was stopping that. But the main reason I wanted to share this highlights video, is because of this wonderful sliding tackle by Aaron Wan-Bissaka. He had to time this perfectly or it most likely would have been a penalty, or a goal for Crystal Palace. Again beautiful sliding tackle.
I did not expect Manchester United to win against Arsenal. I also didn't expect the team to be this good this early in the season. That is four wins in a row now and two of those came against Liverpool and Arsenal. This is looking like a very promising turnaround for United.
Icing on the cake here, or maybe even vindication that Ten Hag knows what he's doing, is that Antony, their expensive new signing, gets the first goal in the game.
Now that's more like it. United get their first win of the season. It comes against Liverpool, who to be fair, are also going through their own struggles. But for a Manchester United team that has been rock bottom the past few games, you take this win and move on.
Was going to subscribe to Peacock TV just to be able to watch Premier League games, specifically Manchester United games in the US. I woke up late this Sunday morning and so I didn't get the subscription to watch the game. After finding out United lost the opener 2-1 to Brighton, that might have been a blessing in disguise. Maybe this is not the time yet to get that subscription LOL.
