US Team Suffers Another Defeat at the Hands of the Leading Team in the Long-Running Tournament in The Hague
Revamped Report:
Last Saturday's Premier League match between "Manchester United" and "Newcastle" at St. James' Park ended with a heartbreaking 1:0 defeat for the Red Devils, courtesy of Anthony Gordon's 55th-minute goal.
With this win, "The Magpies" surpassed Manchester United in the standings, now sitting pretty in 5th place with 26 points, while the Red Devils are left lagging behind in 7th with 24 points.
Cruelly for Manchester United fans, the team's impressive winning "clean sheet" streak in the league was shattered in this match. Under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, the team had managed to win all their Premier League games in November without conceding a goal - against Fulham (1-0 away), Luton (1-0 home), and Everton (3-0 away).
However, another prolonged streak continued after the Newcastle match. Manchester United's inability to win away against teams in the top 8 of the standings before the start of the round still persists. Their last away win against a top team was back in October 2021, a time when they defeated Tottenham under Norwegian manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær. Since then, the team, now led by ten Hag, has suffered 10 defeats and drawn 3 times in such matches.
