With Cristiano Ronaldo back in the starting XI, Manchester United enjoyed a difficult 1-0 win over West Ham United. Earlier in the day Arsenal defeated Nottingham Forest 5-0.
The unlucky Ronaldo worked hard but again failed to score for coach Erik ten Hag’s side. Marcus Rashford scored the only goal at Old Trafford.
The English attacker was the most dangerous man in a game that was disappointing for both sides. Just before half-time, Rashford hit the bull’s eye from a fine cross from Christian Eriksen.
Ronaldo was less fortunate in completing it. After the break, the Portuguese had three good chances in a short space of time. First he missed a header just after his left shot went into the side netting and then a right foot shot by a West Ham defender went just wide.
As a result, Ronaldo, 37, remains on a meager goal in the Premier League this season.
After being sidelined by Ten Hag for the game against Chelsea for refusing to come off the bench against Tottenham, Ronaldo played 90 minutes in the Europa League against Sheriff Tiraspol (3-0, one goal Ronaldo) and against West Ham as a deep striker.
Antony was absent from United’s game selection today. The former Ajax player, who was criticized for his useless tricks after the Sheriff game, was struggling with a minor injury.
The difficult victory sees Team Ten Hag pass Chelsea in the rankings and climb to fifth place.
Arsenal is the leader. The Londoners, who were beaten by PSV (0-2) in the Europa League on Thursday, won 5-0 against Nottingham Forest. This puts Arsenal ahead of Manchester City, who already beat Leicester City on Saturday.
Reiss Nelson, a regular for Feyenoord in last season’s Conference League final, was Arsenal’s big man with two goals and one assist. It was the first Premier League goal in two and a half years for the speedy winger, who has barely featured this season due to injury.
Just after the break, Nelson scored the second (from the rebound) and third (intakker) against Nottingham’s last goal, who had slowed with a win over Liverpool last week. Arsenal took an early lead through striker Gabriel Martinelli.
Before the hour mark, Arsenal made it 4-0 through midfielder Thomas Partey, who put in a nice cross on Nelson’s pass. The final tie was 5-0 for former sc Heerenveen midfielder Martin Ødegaard and Vitesse.
