Fireworks ignited off the field often result in an explosion on the field. Last night was a parallel case of Mourinho’s fireworks blown off by the attack of Newcastle.
Mentally shattered Manchester United had to get it right this time. In just 7th minute of the game, Newcastle Kennedy added a scrutiny to the twist of Jose Mourinho. A perfect left-footer in corner by the player borrowed from Chelsea. Jose Mourinho had a smile for Kennedy, now not so.
Just two minutes later, Newcastle made it a double trouble for Manchester United. The horrible defence once again. Muto it was to score his first goal in the premier league and make things worse for Mourinho.
A handicapped United could only hope a miracle to follow. Complications only grew for United when Rashford hit a clear header out of the post.
Frustrations only grew for the Red Devils when they headed into the tunnel with a 2-0 lead to climb.
They’ve so much quality and depth, it’s ridiculous to lose. Then started the career-defining 45 minutes of Jose Mourinho. To stay or to sack?
Mourinho, what did you address in the dressing room? A rejuvenated United like never before in this season had come on the pitch to save Mourinho’s ass from being sacked.
The start made it clear of an improbable comeback. Alexis Sanchez and Mata were given the responsibility to take United back.
With Mata’s sublime free-kick began the start of an unexpected comeback. No wonder why he was brought into the field as early as the 20th minute.
Martial you beast! What a game you were having and to go without a goal would have been unfair. Martial made the score levels after sneaking through the defenders to smash the ball into the top right corner.
Who else had a goal drought? Sanchez! No time would have been better for the Chilean to restart his scoring tempo. Nor did he disappoint. A timely jump, a better finish and a perfect time to net the ball. 3-2 and the whistle arouse the enthusiasm in the home crowd.
The way fans were cheering even after a 2-0 trail speaks volume of the craze held for the team.
What began as a nightmare had a fairy tale ending! United you Beauty!!!!
