Meanwhile, title-chasers City were left red-faced after losing the Manchester derby to bitter rivals United. Michael Carrick enjoyed a dream start to life as United’s interim head coach and won the fans over in the best possible way.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Arsenal missed the opportunity to go nine points clear at the top of the table with a 0-0 draw away at Nottingham Forest. The Gunners missed several opportunities to take the lead, but the main talking point was a penalty incident that was cleared by VAR following a brief check. Mikel Arteta spoke very strongly about the handball incident at full-time.
Thomas Frank’s Tottenham future was thrown further into doubt yesterday when Spurs suffered a 2-1 home loss to relegation candidates West Ham. The mood inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was toxic, with fans booing at various points of the game, including half-time and full-time.
