Leeds vs Man Utd player ratings: Dominic Calvert-Lewin denies Man Utd – who rated highest?

By Total Football News

Man Utd XI:

Senne Lammens: Good save to deny Elvedi and solid performance. 7

Leny Yoro: Given a stern physical test despite starting at right-back. Thrown in at the deep end this season. 6

Harry Maguire: Another largely solid display. Came out on top in one-to-one duel with Calvert-Lewin in first half but found it much harder in the second. 7

Lisandro Martinez (off 46, Mazraoui): Kept his place despite

The first clear chance of the game came the home side’s way as a quick break led to Jesurun Rak-Sakyi cutting the ball back to

Leeds United 3-3 Liverpool: Hugo Ekitike double but Ao Tanaka’s late goal denies Arne Slot’s visitors

By Total Football News

For the third game in a row, Slot chose to bench Salah, with Szoboszlai starting down the right in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Liverpool had positive spells in the first half and were comfortable in possession but struggled to get past the Leeds low block.

The likes of Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Ekitike failed to test Lucas Perri in the first half, though Curtis Jones did strike the woodwork with

Oxford United 2-2 Millwall: U’s late equaliser denies Lions

By Total Football News

U’s boss Gary Rowett praised his former club before the game, describing them as “a beacon for smaller clubs in the Championship”, but it did not take long for the visitors to get on the score sheet.

In a moment more reminiscent of non-league football, a long-throw was directed towards the U’s box and it was allowed to bounce before Ballo took full advantage to head past the despairing

Valerien Ismael: Blackburn boss denies his squad has regressed

By Total Football News

It is “stupid” to suggest Blackburn Rovers’ squad is weaker than last season, according to boss Valerien Ismael.

Rovers head into Saturday’s Championship match at home to Southampton (15:00 BST) with just one point from their past five outings and sitting second from bottom of the table, after finishing seventh last season.

“This is stupid analysis. We didn’t lose any quality (in the squad) we reduced the age, we took

Wednesday keeper Ethan Horvath did have to make a couple of early saves before the hosts took control.

And it was no surprise that ever reliable captain Bannan, a rare and

Tottenham 2-2 Wolves: Jorgen Strand Larsen late equaliser denies Ange Postecoglou’s side victory as Vitor Pereira’s impressive start at Wolves continues

By Total Football News

This Tottenham performance was a microcosm of life under Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham went 1-0 down for the 15th Premier League home game in 2024, the most ever by a side in a single calendar year in the competition, after a bewildering lack of defensive concentration.

Hwang collected a free-kick rolled across the 18-yard box by Rayan Ait-Nouri and was afforded the freedom of the Tottenham Stadium to pick his spot.

Bournemouth 1-1 West Ham United: Enes Unal free-kick denies Hammers win over Cherries

By Total Football News

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola was left complaining despite Cherries substitute Enes Unal curling home a brilliant last-minute free-kick to deny West Ham victory in a dramatic Premier League meeting.

Iraola said he knew the Turkey forward would go close when presented with the opportunity from 30 yards because of the amount of practice he puts in.

“Everyone knows he can do that,” said Iraola. “He trains a lot. It was
