Teams out of top four:
The points-sharing in this match saw Manchester United move out of the top four of the table to fifth place. Now United are three teams behind and if they manage to win their remaining matches, they may even beat Ronaldo’s team.
Pogba scored the first goal of the season:
United had dominated from the start and Paul Pogba, who took the field after a long injury, scored his first goal of the season to propel the team forward. Under the guidance of coach Raf Regnik, the team has not been able to do better. Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who came in as a substitute in the second half, also did not appear in his rhythm. For the first time since 2010, when Ronaldo, known as the goal machine, could not score. The team could not do better even against Middlesborg in the FA Cup.
Two goals were also invalidated:
United, of course, played well in the first half but the team’s two goals were also invalidated. United are now only one point ahead of sixth-placed West Ham. West Ham beat Watford 1-0 with a second half goal from Jared Bowen. In the other match, Newcastle beat Everton 3–1.
