Two hours after Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat at West Ham, Manchester United squandered a crucial opportunity to rekindle their pursuit for 6th place in the Premier League standings on the 37th matchday. Ryan Giggs’ squad suffered their 7th home loss of the season, as Sunderland pulled off another upset with a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.
This setback leaves the Red Devils trailing by 6 points behind the final Europa League qualifying spot. They have a postponed fixture against Hull City scheduled for next Tuesday, just before the culmination of the English season.
Despite the initial optimism surrounding Ryan Giggs’ interim coaching stint following David Moyes’ dismissal, it appears to have been short-lived after just one match.
In other matches:
- West Ham defeated Tottenham 2-0
- Newcastle triumphed over Cardiff 3-0
- Southampton secured a 1-0 win against Swansea
- Stoke City dominated Fulham with a 4-1 victory
- Aston Villa emerged victorious with a 3-1 win over Hull City
Later in the evening, Manchester City will face Everton.
