Premier League Round Up - United grind out 2-1 win

Jose Mourinho says he does not care whether people think that his team did not deserve the victory against Liverpool. Marcus Rashford scored two goals early in the match before Eric Bailly scored an own goal for Liverpool in the second half. The coach’s comments are probably coming from a place where he has received a lot of criticism for his defensive tactics and also omitting arguably the future of English football in Marcus Rashford from his first team. He has managed to shut his critics as he has cemented his 2nd place position and increased the gap to 5 points.

In other news, Chelsea beat Crystal Palace with the same scoreline as Man Utd with Willian scoring on the 25th minute before Kelly scored an own goal to make it a two goal advantage for Chelsea. Patrick Van Aanholt eventually scored on the 90th minute for Palace but it was too little too late for a comeback.

The Ox Hits Back at Henry & Neville

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has taken a stab back at pundits Thierry Henry and Garry Neville. The duo had thrown shade at the winger ahead of his £35 million move to Liverpool when they said that they did not know exactly what he was good at. Chamberlain hit back at Henry and called him stupid or rather considered his criticism as stupid because the Arsenal legend claimed to have watched him for a long time but still failed to know his strengths. He however, acknowledged that he could take the criticism in terms of the finishing end where his finishing product has not been the best. He realizes that he has a lot to learn which is why he chose to move to the Merseyside club from Arsenal where he felt his career was on hold. He went on to say that it is unpleasant to hear stupid criticism from peers and people you worked with because he worked with Garry Neville at England when he was an assistant manager and Thierry for a brief stint when he was in charge of the under 18s at Arsenal.
