Solskjaer reveals who caused Man Utd’s defeat against Arsenal

Manchester United fell to their first domestic defeat under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when they were convincingly beaten 2-0 by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Since the Norwegian took over, they had gone undefeated in 13 consecutive games in the Premier League before that run came to an end. Meanwhile, Arsenal were able to win their ninth straight league match at home. A rare error from David De Gea in the first half helped the Gunners lead at the interval as he misjudged a swerving strike from Granit Xhaka, which wrong-footed him and flew into the net.

The home side added to their lead in the second half when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang resumed penalty duties after his miss against Tottenham last week, comfortably rolling the ball in on this occasion.

Manchester United interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has blamed his players for giving Arsenal too much room, following their 2-0 loss at the Emirates on Sunday. Granit Xhaka’s shot swerved past David De Gea to give the Gunners the lead, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sealed victory from the spot in the second half. Solskjaer feels his players had a hangover from their 3-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in midweek and started slowly.

“Well we started slow and maybe a backlash from Wednesday. We created chances but when they get the first goal it’s a different game. “We played a better game today than in the cup. We had more chances. Sometimes this happens. “Today I can’t remember any proper saves De Gea has to make. I think the referee will be disappointed when he sees the penalty again.


“The ball moves so strangely and when you see it again it’s one of those things, but we were too slow. First fifteen minutes we didn’t put them under pressure. We gave him time to hit that ball. “The first goal decides how the game goes. “One of those games that you have, it’s now about how we respond against Wolves in the cup,” Solskjaer told Sky Sports after the game.

Do you agree with Solskjaer for blaming his players for the loss or you think he’s just looking for an excuse?

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...
