Tonight in the Premier League of England, the Manchester United team suffered its heaviest loss of the season, losing 0:4 against the London Crystal Palace.

The legendary United club has shown a very unstable performance this season. Although throughout the season, like tonight (Bruno Fernandez, Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire, etc. did not play), there have been injuries, not once have they lost by four goals. Tonight, that scenario came true, including against a team that was only 14th in the Premier League table before this one.

“Crystal Palace” mockery of red devils started already in the 12th minute, when Michael Olise made a great solo raid, beating several opponents. Although “United” controlled the ball much more in the first half, the London club doubled the advantage shortly before the break. The Manchester team made a mistake in a positional play in the middle of the field, Jean-Philippe Mateta ran into a counterattack, dealt with “United” defender Johnny Evans and powerfully hit the near corner – 2:0.

Although after such a first half, it might seem that the guests would be able to break the game, it did not happen and in the 58th minute the ball went into the “United” goal for the third time – after a long attack and several crosses, defender Tyreek Mitchell got in front of the goal, making it 3-0 already. . Olisse added a point to the game in the 66th minute, scoring his second and “Crystal Palace’s” fourth goal. “United” midfielder Casemiro made a mistake on his side of the field near the end line, Daniel Munoz passed to Olisse, who shot powerfully and accurately from about 16 meters.

The result remained unchanged at the end, as a result of which “United” suffered the most embarrassing loss of the season. This was also United’s 13th defeat in the Premier League this season, which is a new anti-record for the club. Meanwhile, Manchester United have conceded 81 goals in all competitions, which is the worst score in the last 47 years.

With this defeat, United also slipped to eighth in the Premier League table, moving away from the Eurocups – fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, which would in turn give them the chance to play in the Europa League, the Manchester club are six points behind with three games to go in the season, but from the sixth position or place in the Conference League – by two points. Among them, it should be mentioned that “United” still have to meet with “Arsenal” of London and “United” of Newcastle. “Crystal Palace” kept the 14th place in the tournament table after this victory.

Italy

Last season’s champion Napoli played another unsuccessful game in the Italian Serie A, drawing 1-1 with relegation zone Udinese. Victor Osimhen, the goalkeeper of the Neapolitan team, scored a penalty kick at the beginning of the second half, but “Udinese” saved itself during the compensation period, as Aizek Sakses was accurate.

“Napoli” occupies only the eighth place in the tournament table with three games until the end of the season, which, according to the current situation, would allow them to play only in the qualification of the Conference League next season.

Meanwhile, Bergamo’s “Atalanta” avoided the fiasco, as they went ahead in the 15th minute against “Salernitana”, but scored two goals in the second half and celebrated a 2:1 victory. “Atalanta” moved up to the fifth position, thereby breaking into the Champions League zone.
