A point at Elland Road: Mbeumo scores, seven points from seven games, worst start in club history.埃兰路的一分:姆贝莫进球,七轮七分,队史最差开局
The 35th-minute goal was clean – Amad played a through ball, Tijjani Tillmann slid a low cross from the right, and Mbeumo poked it in. The 51st-minute corner was so Manchester United – Muharemovic flicked it on, Calvert-Lewin held off Mbeumo and turned to strike a shot. 1-1.
第 35 分钟那个球很干净——阿玛德直塞,蒂莱曼斯右路低传门前,姆贝莫抢点铲进。第 51 分钟那个角球很曼联——穆哈雷莫维奇摆渡,勒温倚住姆贝莫转身抽射。1-1。
Manchester United had 35% possession in the first half and 39% overall, shots were 12 to 13 almost level, expected goals 1.44 to 0.91 – the home side had the upper hand. Carrick changed the defensive shape to a three-man back line: Yoro tucked in, Amad dropped deep, Dalot pushed up to the left – he is the fifth Manchester United player to feature at left-back this season. The setup was not pretty, but it dragged the game into the tempo they wanted, until the first set piece arrived.
In the 26th minute Lammens pushed away Elvedi's point-blank header, and that save sent Manchester United into the dressing room with the lead. In the second half Noussair Mazraoui replaced Martínez, and six minutes later Leeds swung in a corner from the right, Muharemovic won the first header, the ball fell to Calvert-Lewin, who controlled on the chest and turned to sweep it home. It was Calvert-Lewin's 12th league goal at Elland Road since joining Leeds, and his home tally in that span in the Premier League is second only to Haaland (19) and Igor Thiago (14).
上半场曼联控球 35%,全场 39%,射门 12 比 13 基本持平,预期进球 1.44 比 0.91——主队占优。卡里克把防守形态改成了三中卫:约罗内收,阿玛德回撤,达洛特顶到左路,这是曼联本赛季第 5 位踢左后卫的球员。这套东西不漂亮,但它把比赛拖进了自己想要的节奏,直到第一个定位球出现。
第 26 分钟拉门斯扑出埃尔韦迪近在咫尺的头球,那次扑救让曼联带着领先回了更衣室。下半场马兹拉维换下利桑德罗,六分钟后利兹开出右侧角球,穆哈雷莫维奇争到第一点,皮球落到卡尔弗特-勒温身前,胸部一停、转身扫射。这是勒温加盟利兹以来在埃兰路的第 12 个联赛进球,同期主场破门数在英超仅次于哈兰德(19)和伊戈尔·蒂亚戈(14)。
