Premier League: Manchester United blow lead again in Southampton draw

By Aman Shukla

Manchester United blew a first-half lead for the third consecutive match as Che Adams’ strike earned Southampton a well-deserved 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Saturday. Jadon Sancho’s first Premier League goal at home rewarded a great start from Manchester United. However, the Red Devils again failed to build on their lead and were punished when Adams slotted in off the inside of the post two minutes into the second half. A point edges United level on points with fourth-placed West Ham. However, Arsenal are only a point behind with two games in hand, while Tottenham have played three fewer games and are four points back.

Cristiano Ronaldo was recalled by Rangnick in the wake of being dropped to the bench for a frustrating 1-1 draw at bottom-of-the-table Burnley on Tuesday.

Ronaldo’s longest goal drought for 12 years extended into a 6th game regardless of having chances he would expect to bury.
