Another misconduct charge for Mourinho
Ander Herrera, now firmly settled into the Man United starting lineup, bemoaned the fact that West Ham goalkeeper Darren Randolph chose Old Trafford to have the best game of his season, following in the footsteps of Lee Grant, Tom Heaton and Petr Cech.
But, United started strongly scoring an early goal as Mkhitaryan set up Zlatan with a lovely back-heel weighted pass and the Swede converted it well.
“We won comfortably with attractive, attacking football”.
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is facing another ban after he was charged by the Football Association for his angry behaviour during his team’s latest Premier League match. Both have been wildly inconsistent players over the last couple of years, but under the circumstances they need to step up in a big, big way.
Moss also dismissed him in October 2015, when Mourinho was in charge of Chelsea.
This brace doubled the France international’s goal output for the season.
Arsenal’s Sanchez scored after 12 minutes and in stoppage time to sink Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium, helped by a goal for Theo Walcott who reckoned that, after the birth of his second child, it had been “the flawless weekend”.
Southampton advanced to the semifinals of England’s second-tier cup competition for the first time since the 1986-87 season, and will now face Liverpool.
The semifinals are played over two legs in January.
Just last month Mourinho was sent to the stands for disputing a decision in a draw against Burnley and received a touchline ban.
“It was 20, 25 minutes into the match, they’re 1-0 down but there’s no crisis that I can see”. He was sent to the stands in 2003 in a game against Newcastle.
With time ticking away, United’s urgency increased as they looked to avoid a fourth consecutive home draw in the Premier League.
“I’m confident, if we can cut out the mistakes, and with a bit of luck, we can pick up a result on Sunday”, he said.
West Ham went ahead early after Diafra Sakho escaped his marker to head home Dimitri Payet’s free-kick, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted a deserved equaliser for United midway through the first half. “Playing in a cup final at Wembley is a dream, but it’s not the main goal now”.
