LONDON (AP) — William Saliba scored his first goal of the season as Arsenal climbed into second place in the Premier League with a 3-1 home win over Burnley on Saturday despite finishing the game with 10 men.

Victor Lindelof’s goal eases the pressure on Ten Hag as Man United beats Luton 1-0

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 13:37:58 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Victor Lindelof’s goal eased the pressure on Erik ten Hag as Manchester United beat Luton 1-0 in the Premier League on Saturday. The center back swept home a 59th-minute winner at Old Trafford to secure back-to-back league wins for United for only the second time this season. United manager Ten Hag has come under increasing pressure after his team’s disappointing start to the campaign.

Rasmus Hojlund had missed good chances in either half before the opener. A cause for concern for Ten Hag were injuries to Christian Eriksen and Hojlund, which required both to be substituted. But the priority was to get back to winning ways after a ninth defeat of the season against Copenhagen on Wednesday left ...
