In a thrilling match between Tottenham and Manchester United, Richarlison rose above the defenders to head home an equaliser, much to the dismay of Roy Keane. The former United captain was quick to criticize Andre Onana's positioning, urging the goalkeeper to take control of his six-yard box.
The game started with a bang as Rasmus Hojlund scored a powerful goal for United in the third minute, giving them an early lead. However, it didn't last long as Richarlison capitalized on a corner and found the back of the net, despite the efforts of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, and Hojlund. Marcus Rashford later scored a beautiful goal to put United ahead again, but it was Richarlison's goal that dominated the discussion during the half-time break. Keane pointed the finger at Onana for not being able to defend the set-piece.
"We know United struggle with defending set-pieces. They had a warning a few minutes earlier, and then a great delivery from Spurs. There were plenty of bodies in the box, and any touch can be a threat. I would be looking at my goalkeeper for not taking control of the situation. Spurs deserved the equaliser for playing their way back into the game."
When asked to explain why he thought Onana was at fault, Keane responded, "I don't like where he's standing. He should have come out and been more dominant in the six-yard box."
Gary Neville, who was commentating on the match, agreed with Keane and advised Onana to be more assertive when defending set-pieces. "These corners from Spurs have been causing a lot of problems, and I agree with Roy Keane. Onana needs to see the danger and come out to deal with it. Even if he doesn't come, he needs to put some doubt in the taker's mind."
In other news, Ralf Rangnick, the new manager of Manchester United, opened up about Jadon Sancho's conduct at the club. Eddie Howe, who recently joined Newcastle United, spoke highly of one of their players who has been linked with a move to Arsenal. Meanwhile, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino hinted that something may have affected his players before their game against Chelsea. In transfer news, United have offered a winger in exchange for a highly rated player who has been mentored by Christian Eriksen.
Before the match, Keane had criticized Hojlund, but he praised the young Dane for his brilliant start to the game. "Lovely. Brilliant strike, but poor defending from Spurs. It's on target and has great power. A fantastic start for United."
