Manchester United gave an indistinct match. Although the absence of a penalty cannot be explained

“Tottenham” began to play in a way that did not work out all of last season.
The main mysteries of humanity:
What is the secret of the Bermuda Triangle? Why did the last season of Game of Thrones turn out to be a flop? Where does childhood go? How could Tottenham-Manchester United finish the first half goalless? ?
In the 2nd round of the Premier League, two teams met, which in the summer changed more than others (both became more offensive). Tottenham just got a manager who plays dominant football: Angelos Postekoglu. And for Manchester United, the transfer of goalkeeper Onan, which we have already discussed in this article, played a fundamental role. As expected, the goalkeeper climbed that high again.

The first 25 minutes the team acted quite openly and had good chances. Especially Manchester United, and then something amazing started to happen. The referee did not give a penalty in favor of the guests, when the ball after hitting Garnacho clearly hit Romero’s hand. At the same time, his hand moved away quite high. Do not bounce off the body or anything else. The defender has just blocked a shot on goal with a raised hand. The VAR considered that the main referee did not make a clear mistake.
Controversial episode of the match “Tottenham” – “Manchester United”

Towards the end of the half, Tottenham already woke up. As a result, it was only because of a miracle that Manchester United did not concede. In a few seconds, the ball hit the crossbar first and then the post. And it was not the last hit of the ball in the framework of these doors. In the second half, Anthony already tried, although for Manchester United the second half turned out to be completely discouraging.
And it’s not just that the hosts scored twice and won. By the way, it is symbolic that both Sarr’s own goal and Martinez’s own goal happened due to positional attacks (in the second case, defender Davis closed in the center of the penalty area). It is important that the game in general proceeds indistinctly for the guests. Manchester United players had too many marriages on transfers, and the key martial arts again and again remained with the owners. And the disappointed Rashford on the bench after the substitution was very eloquent.
Among the Tottenham players, it is worth noting the midfielders Bissum (he moves so fast with his feet that he rarely managed to be stopped) and Maddison (with such field vision that the game crossed him), as well as the goalkeeper Vicario (he was remembered for several stops, but especially after Casemiro’s coup). And in general, if last year’s Tottenham games were a torment, this time they were an inspiration.
