Premier League - Goal Battle! Mount s first goal in the season, Manchester United suffered 3-4 and the Bees suffered 6 rounds of unwinding!

At 21:00 on the evening of May 4, a goal feast was staged in the 35th round of the Premier League. Manchester United was reversed 3-4 by Brentford away and suffered 6 league matches, losing in 4 of them. This game not only witnessed Mount breaking the milestone of 400-day goal drought, but also exposed the fatal loopholes in the Red Devils' defense line - Luke - Xiao Zi's own, De Rigt's injury retreat, and Maguire's substitute mistake, allowing the Bees to complete the reversal amid the cheers of home fans.

1. Mount broke the ball drought + Garnacho's pass and shot. The Red Devils started the game with a lightning

In the 14th minute of the game, Manchester United youth training young player Maynu sent a scalpel-like pass from the left. 19-year-old Garnacho made a cross from the left highway and crossed the ball in front of the goal. Mount was quick to score. This goal is not only the first goal of the England midfielder this season, but also ends his goal drought since January 2024. After scoring, Mount covered his face and knelt on the ground, while Garnacho's assist continued his highlight of 8 goals and 7 assists this season. The cooperation between the Argentine star and Menu became the only highlight of Manchester United's offensive end.

Just 3 minutes later, Manchester United nearly expanded their advantage. Garnacho took Erikson's pass and formed a single shot, but Fleken took a timely attack to resolve the danger. This missed shot laid the groundwork for subsequent games and also exposed the problem of Manchester United's lack of ability to seize opportunities in the front line - with only 6 shots in the game, with a conversion rate as low as 15.8%.

2. The defense line collapses! Own + header twice. The Red Devils fell behind

in the 27th minute of the first half. Brentford created chaos on the sideline. After Kayode successfully competed for the top, Dams made a high cross. Luke Xiao accidentally blocked the ball into his own goal when blocking. This own goal completely changed the game trend and made the Manchester United captain a hot topic on social media. Data shows that Luke Shaw has accumulated three cumulative goals this season, with a defensive turnover rate of up to 18%.

In the 33rd minute, De Rigt wounded his thigh while fighting outside the penalty area and was forced to leave the field. This injury became a turning point - Maguire lost many times after coming on as a substitute, and was scored twice in a row by Shad. The Norwegian center received a cross from Noelgao in the 33rd minute and broke the net. In the 70th minute, Mbemo made a cross from the right and beat Lindelov to score twice. It is worth noting that 9 of Shad's 12 league goals this season came from headers, which is a "sky bully" in the Premier League.

3. Visa's fatal blow + Red Devils' last counterattack. The score was ups and downs

In the 74th minute of the second half, Brentford made a textbook-level counterattack. Jensen made a straight pass to tear the Manchester United defense line, Kayode made a selfless pass, and Visa easily pushed the ball into the empty goal. After VAR intervened to confirm that the goal was valid, the score expanded to 4-1. This goal exposed the huge gap after Manchester United failed to press at a high position, and the assisted defense error between central defender Lindelof and wingback Maracia became a fatal injury. At the end of the game, Manchester United launched a Jedi counterattack. In the 82nd minute, Garnacho burst out of the world wave at the top of the penalty area, and the ball rubbed the post into the net; in the 3rd minute of stoppage time, 18-year-old Amad cut inside from the right and shot low to break the net, chasing the score to 3-4. Although the young player's performance was eye-catching, it was too late - Manchester United shot 5 shots in the last 15 minutes but could not rewrite the defeat.

4. Tactical imbalance: The UEFA Cup bonus and the Premier League trap

This loss is a microcosm of Manchester United's two-front battle this season. In order to retain the main players of the UEFA Cup, coach Amorin frequently used the youth team in the league. Obi, who was 17 years old and 156 days old, became the youngest Premier League starter in the history of the team. This "European first" strategy has caused the league's average ball possession rate to plummet to 52%, and the shooting conversion rate to 8.8%.

Brentford adopted a targeted 5-4-1 formation, leveraging Kayode's fulcrum role and Shad's high-altitude advantage, and scored 4 goals in 8 shots in the game, with an efficiency of up to 50%. Bee coach Thomas Frank said after the game: "We have studied Manchester United's defensive weaknesses, especially set pieces and crosses from the wing."

5. Points fluctuated: The Red Devils set a 35-year record, and the pattern of four changed

After this game, Manchester United ranked 15th with 29 points, setting a shameful record of 16 losses in a single season since the 1989-90 season. Brentford rose to 11th place with 31 points, only 8 points away from the European War Zone. In the upper reaches of the standings, Liverpool, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest are firmly in the top three, Newcastle United, Manchester City and Chelsea compete for the Champions League qualification, and Manchester United has completely become spectators.
