On Friday night, the stars were shining brightly in the English Premier League, and Manchester United was in danger again! Crowe saved the day, and in the early morning of the 29th, in the battle of the focus, with a brilliant goal, Manchester United shook hands with Chelsea 1-1 at home. Although the draw allowed United to avoid three consecutive defeats, the Red Devils are now five points behind fourth-ranked Arsenal, and with one more game to play, the situation for the top four has become increasingly difficult.
In the last month and a half, 8 out of the 9 goals scored by United were done by Crowe alone, who almost supported United's offense by himself. In the game at Otford, despite the low performance of United, it was still firmly controlled by Chelsea's tempo. Goalkeeper Dikia saved the day several times in the first half, and was the biggest contributor to the team's 0-0 draw. Until the 60th minute, Chelsea broke the deadlock, Magos Alonso received Xaviers header second pass, narrowly shot to the far post scored; just two minutes later, Manchester United quickly returned a goal, Crowe received Nyoman Chamadi exquisite pass, with superb control of the ball and then easily shot to break the goal. Chelsea scored late in the game, with Liz Zhanshi hitting the post, but the game ended 1-1.
Since mid-March, United have scored just nine goals in eight games, eight of which have been scored by Crowe. The striker has scored 17 goals in the Premier League this season, becoming the first player in the history of the Premier League to score 17 goals at the age of 37. It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time Crowe has broken through Chelsea's door in his Premier League career. Of the 34 Premier League teams Crowe has faced, only Wolves, Crystal Palace, Sheffield United, Leeds United, Leicester City and Brentford have yet to taste his goals, and Brentford and Crystal Palace are among the opponents in the final three rounds of the tournament for Manchester United.
Currently Manchester United are sixth in the league with 55 points, and even if they win all their matches in the last three rounds of the competition, they will still have a total of 64 points, which is at most equal to Moyes's result in the 13/14 season. In the competition for the UEFA Europa League, United need to hope that fourth-placed Arsenal will win at most one match in the remaining five rounds of matches in order to qualify for next season's UEFA Europa League, and the prospect is not optimistic.
