The two Europa League finalists, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs suffered home losses Sunday with two matches to the end of the 2024-2025 season.
West Ham United produced a brilliant performance to earn a 2-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford, ending a 16-match winless run in away Premier League (PL) H2Hs.
Following their UEFA Europa League semi-final success in midweek, Ruben Amorim made six changes to his side, with Mason Mount introduced after his brace, along with Amad Diallo, who was making his first start since early February.
The latter looked his usual dangerous self in the early moments, as he linked up well with Bruno Fernandes only for the Portuguese midfielder to curl his shot over before forcing a save from Alphonse Areola with a more dangerous effort of his own.
On their part Crystal Palace drew level with their highest-ever Premier League points total (49) as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 to solidify their mid-table standing.
Perhaps suffering from a hangover from reaching the UEFA Europa League (UEL) final in midweek, Tottenham’s start to this game was almost catastrophic. Not even 10 minutes were on the clock when Palace thought they’d nosed ahead, as Daniel Muñoz’s marauding run down the right was picked out by Eberechi Eze, and the high-flying full back retained his composure to lay the ball on a plate for Ismaïla Sarr to tap home from inside the six-yard box.
The losses leave Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs on 16th and 17th positions on the log with 39 and 38 points respectively.
