Jose Sure Knows How to Win Big Football Games

Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool

Manchester United won the match of the weekend thanks to a superb first half brace from Marcus Rashford and a world class defensive rearguard in the second half.

This was always going to be a great contest with pre-match betting tips finding it hard to split the teams, but the Red Devils won it by being better at either end of the pitch. And with a five point lead over Liverpool, Jose’s men are the betting wesbites’ favourites to bag that second place. Possession and shots won’t win you games as Jurgen Klopp’s side knows; they had 14 attempts on goal to five and 68 per cent possession but that means not a jot when you lose.

United got off to as flyer when Marcus Rashford latched on to a long ball flicked on by Romelu Lukaku, before turning his defender and finishing brilliantly into the corner. It was a poor goal for Liverpool to concede but a fine finish. Soon after, Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk missed a sitter from a corner, shouldering the ball when a simple header would have found the net. And Marcus Rashford went straight up the other end to smash home his second. This was football on the break at its best. Liverpool was two down seconds after they should have levelled.

The visitors continued to dominate possession in the second half but couldn’t beat a resolute United defence, despite having two loud penalty shouts. And they only broke through on 66 minutes thanks to an Eric Bailly own goal as the pressure finally told.

When six minutes went up for added time it gave Liverpool hope; Sadio Mane almost worked his way through, and Mo Salah blasted a last gasp effort over. But Jose Mourinho teams know how to close a game out, and they did precisely that in a second half where they defended brilliantly.

There is more than one way of winning football matches and that was a Jose master class.
