BOURNEMOUTH (AFP) – The spectacular winner of Marcus Rashford ended the battle for Manchester United as he maintained his recent comeback with a 2-1 win against Bournemouth on Saturday (November 3rd).
The point blank finish of Rashford comes after Anthony Martial's efforts have canceled Callum Wilson's opening call for Bournemouth to Dean Court.
It was United's third win in his last four Premier League games, extending the recovery from the home win against Newcastle United when Jose Mourinho's team had recovered from the deficit by two goals.
The result will reinforce Mourinho's belief that his team is on the rise, although the United manager could easily have considered a defeat if the local team had more chances.
"It was all the first half." I said at half-time that I was the luckiest manager in the Premier League for half an hour, while the score should be 6-2, "said Mourinho.
"We were terribly bad on the defense side, and as a team, we did not support or do the work this week, and the spectators in this game will not believe how hard we worked." this week."
But it will still count as a good result if not the performance since Bournemouth started the season so impressive.
Mourinho knows that there will still be a lot to do to revive his challenge to rank among the top four.
"I love the song" Attack, Attack, Attack ", but you need stability when you lose the ball.This still happened against a good team, but we were prepared for everything," he said. declared the Portuguese.
"I really can not understand the kind of mindset that brings me more white hair!"
Romelu Lukaku was a surprising absentee. Mourinho revealed that prior to the match, the attacker had not traveled to the south coast after being injured the day before.
Lukaku started on the bench against Everton six days ago. His starting place was therefore far from guaranteed: he did not score in nine matches for his club.
But Mourinho has decided not to risk the Belgian with the imminent trip of the Champions League Wednesday to Juventus.
Sanchez was ahead of Rashford, a starter against Everton, but the Chilean international had little chance of shining in the early stages, while Bournemouth could have sealed the points.
Visitors struggled to cope with Bournemouth's pacy front-line players and Eddie Howe's team exploited the lack of organization of the US backdrop, Forcing the lead in the 11th minute after a period of sustained pressure.
David De Gea pushed Wilson aside and Junior Stanislas's shot was completely deflected before United finally broke down for not knowing how to handle the created corner.
Luke Shaw was heading well ahead, but the Mourinho team was guilty of failing to pressure the ball, allowing Stanislas to break through a low center that had been sent home by a non-scoring player. Wilson.
United finally clicked in the 35th minute when Sanchez showed his value.
According to Bournemouth players, the former Arsenal striker won the ball in midfield with the help of his arm. He played against Ashley Young before sneaking into the box to collect the return and prepare Martial for the equalizer in the 35th minute.
The Mourinho team was lucky enough to be tied at half-time, but after the restart, it improved as the game went on and should have scored a second goal decisive after Young hit the bar with a free kick.
The ball fell on Rashford whose close-range shot was blocked by Nathan Ake.
However, Rashford made amends in the final seconds by making Paul Pogba's center point-blank.
