The center back overtook the wing forward’s attacking point.
“Harry Maguire has overtaken Anthony’s attacking point,” the English publication Tribuna reported on Wednesday (Feb. 22).
Manchester United defeated second-tier Coventry City in a penalty shootout in the semifinals of the 2023-2024 FA Cup at Wembley Stadium in London, England, at 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 21 to advance to the FA Cup final.
United led 3-0 at halftime, but conceded three second-half goals and won 4-2 on penalties after 120 minutes of extra time.
Given that the opponent was a second-tier team, an easy win was expected. United midfielder Scott McTominay opened the scoring in the 23rd minute of the first half. United added another goal before halftime. A corner kick from the right flank was met by Harry Maguire with a powerful header.
In the 14th minute of the second half, 토토사이트 United made it 3-0. Bruno Fernandez stole the ball from the opposition in the box and scored with a precise left-footed shot.
With the score looking like United were going to run away with the game, a twist occurred.
In the 26th minute, Coventry were awarded a goal kick from distance by defender Andre Onana and quickly went on the attack. A cross from the right was met by Ellis Sims with a right-footed volley to make it 2-0.
Coventry added one more goal. In the 34th minute of the second half, Callum O’Hare latched onto a ball from Sims and unleashed a mid-range shot. The ball deflected off the defense and took an exquisite trajectory into the back of the net.
The full 90 minutes had flown by. Six minutes of second-half stoppage time were awarded. Coventry were awarded a penalty kick. Wan Bisaka was fouled in the box. Haji Wright stepped up to the spot and made no mistake as he fooled Onana to tie the game at 3-3.
There were no further goals in the 30 minutes of overtime. The teams headed to penalty kicks.
United’s number one kicker Kasemiru had his shot saved by the keeper, then Coventry’s number two kicker converted and United’s number three kicker Christian Eriksen made it 2-2. Coventry’s number three kicker O’Hara missed and United’s number four kicker Bruno converted. Coventry’s No. 4, Ben Sheaf, missed and United’s No. 5, Hoylun, converted to make it a 4-2 United victory.
A nail-biter. Against an outclassed opponent, the Red Devils managed to sneak into the final.
They made it to the final, but it was an embarrassing performance. A 3-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw after they let their guard down. After the game, the United players weren”t exactly celebrating.
Anthony came on as a substitute in the 21st minute of the second half. He took four shots and completed 89% of his passes. Not bad. He failed to record an offensive point.
“Maguire, who scored the goal, picked up her fifth offensive point of the season (three goals, two assists). That’s one more than Anthony, who has two goals and two assists.” “Anthony has played 37 games. Maguire has 29.”
Anthony joined United for a whopping £85 million ($145.3 million), but he hasn’t lived up to his transfer fee.
Anthony has also been criticized for his attitude. 파워볼실시간 After narrowly beating a second division club, he mocked the opposing players on his own.
“Anthony made a provocative gesture towards the Coventry players after United’s last-gasp penalty kicker Hoylun scored, as he looked at each of them in turn and put his hands to his ears, asking why no one was making a noise,” explained the Express.
“On the contrary, captain Maguire took some players and turned to the Coventry players, comforting them. In truth, it was an embarrassing performance for United to endorse.” Anthony was the only one happy.
