Manchester United claimed a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, with Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko scoring their first Old Trafford goals, easing the pressure on manager Ruben Amorim.
Amid criticism following a recent loss to Brentford, Amorim saw his team respond positively against Sunderland, securing a win with goals from Mount and Sesko in the first half.
Praising his players’ commitment, Amorim acknowledged the support he received from the team, emphasizing the importance of actions on the pitch over mere words.
Sunderland, despite the loss, remains unfazed, with a decent start to the season leaving them in the top half of the table with 11 points from seven matches.
Even after attempts to adjust their tactics during the game, Sunderland struggled to create enough chances to turn the match around, with their hopes waning following VAR’s intervention on a penalty decision for minimal contact.
A notable moment of controversy arose when Bertrand Traore’s clash with the goalkeeper and Bruno Fernandes resulted in a yellow card for simulation, sparking debate on the ref watch show about the appropriate response in such situations.
