Even though they only welcomed Sheffield at the bottom of the rankings MU of Erik ten Hag still had 2 times for the opponent to take the lead.
The away team’s opening goal in the 35th minute came from goalkeeper Andre Onana’s mistake, passing the ball straight to Jayden Bogle’s feet and this player did not miss this wonderful ‘gift’.
By minute 42, Harry Maguire was the one who brought MU back, with a high jump and header to equalize 1-1 after catching the ball from Garnacho, in a situation of joining the attack.
The subsequent penalty the Red Devils received in the 61st minute (Bruno Fernandes equalized 2-2) was also brought about by Harry Maguire. In the 81st and 85th minutes, their captain No. 8 spoke again, plus Hojlund helped MU win 4-2 against Sheffield.
Harry Maguire is one of the few praiseworthy images of MU this season. And while strikers like Rashford are disappearing, this midfielder has made a mark scoring in the last 2 consecutive matches for the Red Devils.
Previously, in the FA Cup semi-finals, Maguire also scored a header against Coventry (draw 3-3, MU won 4-2 in the penalty shootout).
Significantly, Harry Maguire’s goal against his former team Sheffield this morning (April 24) marked a new milestone in Premier League history.
Specifically, it was the 1,085th goal in the Premier League this season, a new record for the most goals in a season since 20 teams participated with 38 rounds.
The previous record was 1,084 goals scored in the 2022/23 season, while the 2018/19, 2021/22 and 2011/12 Premier League campaigns ranked in the top five respectively.
At the current pace, this season’s Premier League is predicted to end with 1,231 goals.
