Milly did incredibly well first half and it is not easy to defend these guys.” Manchester United and Everton drew 1-1 at Old Trafford. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer surprisingly omitted Cristiano Ronaldo from the starting line up and received criticism for the decision especially when Andros Townsend deservedly equalised after Anthony Martial had opened the scoring just before half time. Ronaldo entered the fray but could not inspire his teammates to victory and the Toffees thought they had snatched the win but VAR ruled out a late winner from Yerry Mina for offside. Solskjaer told BBC MOTD, “We should have done better and it’s a disappointing 16-goal London Lions goal toMaccabi concede.” Everton manager Rafa Benitez told BT Sport, “Mentally like a victory, with the must-win game,” it’s commented Galaxy playplayers we had who were not playing.” er-manager Luke Lewis.

Brentford’s Thomas Frank told MOTD, “Fantastic feeling away from home, a solid performance. It’s a massive win.” David Moyes told Sky Sports, “It’s a missed opportunity, let’s hope we can take opportunities in the days to come.” Tottenham Hotspur ended a three game losing spell with a 2-1 home victory against Aston Villa. After a calamitous derby display at Arsenal this result was needed after their last league clash. Son Heung-min set up Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg before forcing Matt Targett into an own goal shortly after Oli Watkins for Villa in the second half. Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo told Sky Sports, “All the players did well, we have talented players and when they are confident, they are unstoppable.” Aston Villa’s Dean Smith told BBC MOTD, “It feels like it got away from us. It is a disappointment. I didn’t think there was too much between the teams.” Crystal Palace showed tremendous fighting spirit to come from 2-0 behind to draw against Leicester City in an exciting clash at Selhurst Park. The Foxes struck against the run of play when Kelechi Iheanacho pounced on a mistake to fire home just past the half hour. And when Jamie Vardy clinically finished before the break the game appeared over. But the Eagles have steel about them under new boss Patrick Viera and roared back with strikes from teenage substitute Michael Olise and Jeffrey Schlupp for a just point.
