Speaking after the match against Tottenham, coach Ten Hag was angry when Man Utd suffered an unfair decision by the referee.
In the decisive match of round 21 of the Premier League, Man Utd was held by Tottenham with a score of 2-2. The Red Devils took the lead twice in this match with goals from Hojlund and Rashford. However, they still let Spurs level the score.
Notably, in this match, Man Utd reacted harshly when they were not awarded a penalty in the 31st minute (when the score was 1-1). Alejandro Garnacho entered Tottenham’s penalty area and turned the ball. This player was held by Destiny Udogie with both hands and fell down. However, referee John Brooks and VAR both agreed not to give Man Utd a penalty.
Speaking after the match, coach Ten Hag appeared angry. He said that Man Utd should have received a penalty. The Dutch strategist said: “Man Utd deserved the penalty but what can we do?
I have gotten used to such unfair treatment throughout this season. In the match against Tottenham, the same thing happened again. Romero clearly used his hands to play the ball. I could list many more situations. At another point in the season, I think everything will be on Man Utd’s side. We can only hope so.”
Talking more about the match, the Man Utd coach shared: “We scored two great goals but also conceded two goals quite easily. The second goal came from a flicked ball by the opponent’s goalkeeper. We should defend better. Goals like that should not happen.”
Meanwhile, Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou said: “I think Tottenham had an excellent performance with the faces on hand. They did well every time they faced adversity. We were unlucky when cannot win”.
After this match, Man Utd ranked 7th in the Premier League with 32 points, 8 points behind Arsenal’s top 4. Meanwhile, Tottenham ranked 5th with the same 40 points as Arsenal but played one more match.
