Harry Maguire was delighted to end Manchester United’s “embarrassing” wait for back-to-back Premier League victories after his header sunk Liverpool. Thomas Frank defended Tottenham after they slipped to another home defeat with a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa.
Harry Maguire’s late header sealed a statement win for Ruben Amorim's Manchester United, while Liverpool's slump, Palace's thriller and Forest's chaos rounded out another wild Premier League weekend.
Joining extremely esteemed company, Jean-Philippe Mateta is now just the third French player to score more than one hat-trick in the Premier League after Nicolas Anelka and Thierry Henry, although the Palace talisman was also guilty of missing three big chances in the Eagles' six-goal spectacular with Bournemouth.
With just 6 minute left on the clock and the score level at 1-1, Maguire rose above the Liverpool defence to meet pinpoint Bruno Fernandes cross and head home the winning goal sealing dramatic 2-1 victory for Manchester United and their 1st league win at Anfield in 9 year.
Having been at Old Trafford since 2019, the 32-year-old has lived through some of the club’s worst lows, many of them against this very opposition. Some of the defeats at this stadium have been utterly humiliating. Through that, Maguire himself has been one of United’s most criticised and pilloried figures, often a figure of fun.
