Cristiano Ronaldo scores, but United fail to reverse Arsenal in English

Manchester United failed to get back in the Premier League after the rout suffered by Liverpool. This Saturday morning, for the 34th round, the team was defeated by Arsenal by 3-1.

The match was marked by Cristiano Ronaldo’s 100th Premier League goal and Bruno Fernandes’ missed penalty, which could change the history of the duel.

With the result, Ralf Rangnick’s team remains in sixth place, with 54 points, and is still at risk of not winning a spot in the next Champions League. The Gunners entered the G4 with 60 added, two less than third-placed Chelsea.

Agroa, Arsenal enters the field only next week, on Sunday, May 1st. Away from home, they face West Ham, at 12:30 pm (Brasília time), for the national tournament. United will have a tough clash on Wednesday, the 28th of this month. At Old Trafford, they host Chelsea at 15:45.

First time

Arsenal seemed more offensive at the beginning, however, as the minutes went by, the match became very disputed.

The home team opened the scoring in the first minute. The team had been studying the opponent’s defensive field and, after a failure by Varane and Alex Telles, Saka gave a beautiful shot with a curve, but De Gea defended. In the spare, Nuno Tavares, free from marking, only pushed to the back of the net.

It didn’t take long for Manchester United to wake up and try to create equal opportunities. In a blunder of Ramsdale, McTominay found Bruno Fernandes. The athlete finished for the goal, but the Brazilian Gabriel Magalhães arrived to intercept the danger.

In the sequence, two beautiful chances were carried out, one on each side. For United, Dalot sent a bomb and hit the crossbar. For Arsenal, Ödegaard gave an absurd letter pass between the defenders and Nketiah kicked hard, but De Gea grew again and didn’t let the ball in.

But, trying so hard, Arteta’s cast scored a penalty. At 25, Nketiah scored his second, but the goal was disallowed. However, after reviewing the bid, the referee saw an overload by Alex Telles on Saka inside the area.

At the lime mark, the striker went for the ball and displaced the goalkeeper hitting the left corner, expanding the advantage.

Without much time to celebrate, United had a great reaction and Cristiano Ronaldo put his team back in the game, as well as scoring his 100th Premier League goal. The Portuguese appeared between defenders after a cross by Matic and scored on the scoreboard.

Second time

In a very different scenario of the first 45 minutes, coach Ralf Rangnick saw his team grow and dispute every move.

At ten minutes into the second stage, Bruno Fernandes wasted his best chance of a draw so far. Nuno Tavares left his arm open in the area and the referee awarded a penalty. Shirt 11 went for the kick, but sent the goalkeeper’s goalpost.

By millimeters, Cristiano Ronaldo does not have his second goal validated. He sent it to the target after Elanga’s pass, but it was offside.

If on one side it didn’t work, on the other the script was not the same. To declare the victory, Xhaka scored a beautiful goal from outside the area. On his right foot, he took the ball and hit a bomb for the Gunners.
