Mason Mount was sacrificed as Manchester United s best player and Matthijs de Ligt did an excellent Harry Maguire impression. Erik ten Hag is faced with one impossible conundrum and an easy fix that should have been sorted already.
It was a good but speculative ball into the box from Joao Pedro and both Harry Maguire and Noussair Mazraoui had the chance to deal with that first cross and the resulting drilled pass by Kaoru Mitoma that Danny Welbeck got his studs on to direct into the net.
The TV cameras predictably focused on Maguire and his typically bewildered expression and of course it was him who bore the brunt of the criticism on social media, from fans insisting that Eric Dier s understudy watching from the bench is the answer. If it s awareness, leadership and p…
Arsenal were reportedly offered the chance to sign Victor Osimhen during the summer transfer window, while they were prepared to sign an alternative.
emerged as one of the best strikers in Europe during his time at Napoli, but his relationship with the Serie A giants has broken down this summer.
The Nigeria international made it clear ahead of the summer that he wanted to leave and he was linked with several elite European clubs, while Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ahli also targeted him.
The 25-year-old looked likely to join Chelsea on deadline day, but the Premier League side were unable to agree terms with the striker.
Al-Ahli had an agreement in place with Napoli, but Osimhen was against a move to the Middle East so they signed Ivan Toney instead.

Erik ten Hag was pleased to see both Marcus Rashford and Matthijs de Ligt produce good displays as Man Utd beat Southampton 3-0 on Saturday.
The Dutchman has already faced pressure this season after losing back-to-back matches to Brighton and Liverpool, leaving the Red Devils with just one win from their opening three matches.
There were questions about what a defeat against Southampton would do to Ten Hag s reputation with the supporters and the Old Trafford hierarchy and it got off to the worst possible start when Diogo Dalot brought Saints debutant Tyler Dibling to give away a penalty.
However, Andre Onana saved Cameron Archer s spot-kick to keep on level terms before Matthijs de Ligt put the visitors ahead not long after.

Eddie Howe is reportedly agitated at Newcastle United and could leave the Premier League club as there is still friction at St James Park.
The Englishman was under pressure last season as endured an injury crisis, but he kept his job as he helped the Premier League side enjoy a positive end to the campaign as they finished seventh.
There was a major overhaul at Newcastle in the summer as co-owner Amanda Staveley left the club, while Paul Mitchell replaced Dan Ashworth as their sporting director.
Financial Fair Play regulations heavily impacted the Magpies in the summer as they endured an infuriating transfer window. They missed out on top target Marc Guehi and failed to sign a new right winger.

Will Justin Jefferson hit the 100-yard mark in receiving yards? Oddsmakers think he ll come close as the Vikings WR has the highest receiving prop of 91.5 yards this week.
Best Receiving Props to Bet for Wild Card Weekend
1) George Kittle over 3.5 receptions (-160); risk 1 unit at DraftKings Sportsbook
Betting George Kittle to exceed his Wild Card Weekend props looks like a must-play. His receptions props are set at just 3.5, a total that he s exceeded in five-straight games. He s also caught four or more passes in 10/15 total games this season.
No team has allowed more yards (1,115) to tight ends this season than the Seahawks, meaning Brock Purdy should be looking Kittle s way often on Saturday.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia today denied West Flagler Associates request for a stay of the court s mandate.
The decision from the D.C. Circuit Court has potentially opened a window for the Seminole Tribe to launch Florida sports betting, as the court s mandate affirming a 2021 gaming compact that legalizes retail and online sports betting for the Seminole Tribe will soon go into effect.
However, with West Flagler recently with the Florida Supreme Court to invalidate the online sports betting language in the gaming compact, and making its intentions known that it will also petition the Supreme Court to hear its case, it seems as if the Seminole Tribe might be waiting until their conclusion before taking any action.
It’s another posit…
