      The Argentine converted from the spot for the only goal in the game, despite both sides having chances to score.
      Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma missed a few chances while United were particularly wasteful in front of goal.
      Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Casemiro all missed good chances and they have felt the wrath of the manager.
      Ten Hag did not hold back as he declared that one of the opportunities “had to go in” when he was asked about his team’s performance.

      He told Sky Sports: “I think in the first minute it was everything, we created a chance but we didn’t score.
      “So we have to be more clinical with our chances in the first half.
      “And in the end we gave away a goal, that can’t happen, must not happen.
      “We lost maybe a little bit of focus, also a bit unlucky because it was never a free kick where the corner came from.

      “So you can’t bounce back anymore but that’s what we have to do on Sunday [against West Ham].
      “We had the chances clear.
      “With Antony dos Santos, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Casemiro – all great opportunities, one has to be in.”
      United return to Premier League action on Sunday as they take on West Ham.
      A win against the not-yet-safe Hammers would almost guarantee them a spot in the Champions League next season. More

      Pervis Estupinan & Luis Diaz feature in the best Dream Team XI of Game Week 32

      by

      GAME WEEK 32 was a high-scoring affair but no Dream Team gaffer outperformed Dean Jago.The Manchester United fan racked up 152 points when all was said and done thanks to some inspired selections.
      Let’s take a closer look at how he did it.
      152 points!
      Brighton registered back-to-back clean sheets this past week, starting off with an emphatic 6-0 win over a disjointed Wolves at the weekend before a last-gasp 1-0 win over Man United on Thursday night.
      As a result, Jason Steele (£3m) was by far and away the best-performing goalkeeper with 16 points – he averages an impressive 4.5 points-per-game this season.
      Similarly, Pervis Estupinan (£4.1m) reigned supreme among defenders with 18 points having also provided an assist on Saturday.
      The Ecuadorian left-back features in just 0.6% of teams so that has to go down as a masterstroke by Dean at this late stage of the campaign.
      Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.7m) has been on a tear of late and while his assist streak came to an end against Fulham, he more than compensated by claiming the Star Man award on top of a clean sheet.
      Liverpool’s homegrown hero added 13 points to his tally in Game Week 32 to take his grand total to 145 – only Kieran Trippier (£5.4m) has more among defenders!
      Lastly in defence, Nathan Ake (£5.1m) returned from injury in fine style by scoring Man City’s opening goal against West Ham in a 3-0 victory for a 13-point return.
      Most read in Football
      A Dream Team gem in recent weeks
      Bruno Fernandes (£6.9m) took full advantage of Kevin De Bruyne’s (£8.4m) absences to reclaim top spot among midfielders by virtue of an 11-point haul.
      The Portuguese playmaker is in a league of his own when it comes to 7+ ratings, he’s earned 40 of them in 2022/23, seven more than his closest rival.
      Arsenal’s title hopes may be dwindling but Martin Odegaard (£4.5m) continues to provide healthy returns.
      The Gunners’ skipper enjoyed himself against a shambolic Chelsea outfit, bagging a brace and the Star Man award to bank 18 points in one fell swoop.
      Jack Grealish (£5.1m) has been among the goal involvements since the World Cup and he kept that going in Game Week 32 with an assist against the Hammers.
      Manchester City’s No10 also edged out his team-mates to claim the Star Man gong from that encounter – he earned 12 points from his two fixtures overall.
      Dean is clearly a gaffer who stays up to date with injury news because he premeditated Luis Diaz’s (£5.1m) first starts since October to great avail.
      Back among the points
      The Colombian winger pouched 13 points thanks to Tottenham’s latest slow start (a generous phrase) before adding three more via 7+ rating at home to Fulham in midweek.
      Dean may have employed some funky selections in defence and midfield but his front three was as mainstream as they come, with good reason.
      Erling Haaland (£10.5m) is a no-brainer at this stage and the prolific poacher banked 16 points in a record-breaking week.
      It’s ridiculous that 16 points from two games is statistically a below average return by Haaland’s standards – unbelievable.
      Read More on The Sun
      Marcus Rashford (£7.3m) mustered just three points this past week but Mohamed Salah (£8.8m) registered 16 courtesy of goals against Spurs and Fulham – Liverpool are finishing the season in style after an underwhelming campaign overall.
      Excellent work, Dean, good luck to you and all gaffers ahead of Game Week 33! More

      City legend Kompany played alongside Tevez for four years, winning the FA Cup in 2011 and the Premier League title a year later.
      But, according to Richards, there was one occasion when tensions between the pair boiled over.
      The ex-pro turned pundit told the Filthyfellas podcast: “Tevez and Kompany had a fight.”
      Richards went on to say that now Burnley boss Kompany had to be restrained.

      Meanwhile, Tevez was aiming punches at the legendary City defender.
      Richards continued: “It was weird though because we were holding Kompany back because when he goes he’s going.
      “And then Tevez (motions swinging punches).”
      Richards added: “Kompany couldn’t do nothing because we were holding him back.”

      He was then asked if Tevez successfully landed with any of his punches.

      But the Sky and BBC pundit said Kompany soaked up all of the hits with ease, suggesting it was the Belgian defender who came out on top.
      When asked how many punches Tevez connected with, Richards said: “[A] couple. But the thing is, Kompany, he ate them.”
      Despite their bust up, Kompany and Tevez enjoyed a successful period playing together for the club.
      Both retired professionals have since gone into coaching after hanging up their boots.
      Kompany won promotion to the Premier League with Burnley this season, while Tevez spent five months in charge of Argentinian side Rosario Central last year. More

      The Magpies host the Gunners on Sunday and have plenty to play for themselves.
      Eddie Howe’s side are in the battle for not only a Champions League spot, but in the race for third.
      The club are currently two points ahead of 4th placed Manchester United and a win would give them a massive boost.
      Arsenal head into the match off the back of a brilliant 3-1 win over London rivals Chelsea.

      The victory was a big boost for Mikel Arteta’s side which had failed to win any of their previous four matches.
      The result of that poor form has seen them hand the Premier League ascendency to Manchester City.
      The Citizens play Leeds on Saturday so could be four points ahead of the Gunners ahead of kick-off at St James’ Park.
      Team News
      The Gunners are still expected to be out for the game against Newcastle. He missed the game against Chelsea and Arteta put him on a “wait and see” message.
      Most read in Football
      Gabriel Magalhaes could also miss the game after hurting his ankle against Chelsea, which would leave Arsenal short on defenders.
      Arteta may have to rely on the partnership of Rob Holding and Jakub Kiwior.
      Meanwhile, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny are also out with long-term injuries.
      The Magpies however have been boosted by the return of Sean Longstaff and Allan Saint-Maximin.
      But will continue to be without Emil Kraft who has a long-term injury.

      How Arsenal could line-up
      Newcastle’s potential team
      Key players
      Martin Odegaard was in top form for the Gunners against Chelsea and was unlucky not to get a hat-trick in the London derby.
      The club captain has contributed to 21 goals in the Premier League this season with 14 goals and seven assists.
      He will be up against Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes who has been just as vital to the Magpies.
      Although he is not just a defender and will also be attempting to cause Arsenal’s potentially fragile backline issues with his passing range.
      The midfielder will be instructed with having to try and contain Odegaard and limit his impact on the team.
