Man Utd hit a new crisis point, worst since the beginning of the season

Tottenham played Man Utd in a context where both teams were unstable and struggling in the bottom half of the Premier League table. James Maddison's only goal helped Tottenham win and pushed Man Utd down to 15th place - the "Red Devils"' lowest position this season.

When two defensively weak teams meet, the game is full of chances. Tottenham had 22 shots, 7 on target. Man Utd had 16 and 6 respectively. The ability to take advantage of opportunities is the biggest difference between the two teams.

This was evident right from the start of the match. After three consecutive misses by Man Utd, Tottenham opened the scoring in the 13th minute. Goalkeeper Andre Onana blocked a long-range shot but none of his teammates were able to react in time to stop James Maddison from scoring a close-range rebound.

Man Utd lost to Tottenham.

Man Utd had many chances in this match and Alejandro Garnacho was the representative face of the visitors' efficiency. The Argentine player had 4 shots, all of which were high-threatening situations for Tottenham's goal.

However, he failed to score any goals as he was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper three times and once shot wide in the most favorable position. Since the beginning of the season, Man Utd's number 17 has had 14 clear scoring opportunities but missed 12 of them.

Seeing the visitors falter in both attack and defense, coach Ruben Amorim was helpless. The Portuguese coach had no option to make a breakthrough when there were no quality options on the reserve list.

Man Utd failed to score and lost 0-1. This defeat pushed the "Red Devils" to a new crisis milestone. Never in the 2024-2025 season have Man Utd been as close to the relegation zone as they are now (based on their position at the end of the round). However, Man Utd is still 12 points ahead of the 18th-placed team.
