Amorim’s United serenaded by fans after 4-0 win
Ruben Amorim has got Manchester United fans smiling again after a 4-0 win against Everton on Sunday.
The Old Trafford crowd serenaded United’s players with “ole” late in Amorim’s first Premier League game at Old Trafford.
It marks a big change from the boos that rang around the stadium toward the end of former manager Erik ten Hag’s reign.
In Amorim’s third game in charge in all competitions since taking over last month, United produced their best performance under him, with Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee scoring two goals each. Amorim is undefeated since taking over last month and United are ninth.
Reds too good for City
Liverpool overawed arch-rivals Manchester City in a 2-0 win with goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah to take a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League and extend their opponents’ slump to seven games without a win. The result was City’s first four-game losing streak in the Premier League since 2008 and pushed Pep Guardiola’s side down to fifth.
Third-place Chelsea beat Aston Villa 3-0.
Real beat Getafe
Madrid: Jude Bellingham converted a penalty and Kylian Mbappe added another goal before halftime to spur Real Madrid to a 2-0 victory over Getafe as they moved within touching distance of LaLiga leaders Barcelona.
