Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

Not usually a fan of "Premier League" records but that's not a bad stat for 27 years tbh

Surprised Moyes didn't end that run.

He seemed to wreck every other one of United's records that season

its a shame Fred and Niasse never played in the same side, they'd probably miscontrol the ball straight to each other

If City's last minute goal against Tottenham was handball then that certainly was.

Exactly. The precedent had been set with that. It wasn't necessarily a "foul" for handball like elsewhere on the pitch but this :

"It is an offence if a player:

• deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, including moving the hand/arm towards the ball
• gains possession/control of the ball after it has touched their hand/arm and then:
  • scores in the opponents’ goal
  • creates a goal-scoring opportunity

means it was 100% correct to be ruled out.

And United's goal was never gonna be ruled out by overturning the refs decision not to give a foul based on the high bar for reversing a decision that has been in play all season.

Except yesterday when Villa and Burnley had goals ruled out for fouls by VAR that the ref didn't give. But they were directly involved immediately in the goal being scored not 70 yards down the pitch.

Struggling to get a WiFi or mobile signal in the aftermath of storm Nestor but managed to find the game on NBCSN. Missed the first half though.

He would have needed a lead at half time.

Uts pressing and desire is really good today, like us just getting up for big games though.

Mad the RS putting the ball out there.

United had chances to do it but didn’t.

 

[Huyton Layne]

He's concussed. Get him the f off.

One goal won't be enough though.... Liverpool fitness levels are freakish, and something always goes their way

Terrible challenge from Van Dijk on James. That wasn’t shoulder to shoulder, that was a full on taken out.
