Erik Ten Hag's Man United Era Begins With Defeat To Brighton At Old Trafford

MANCHESTER, England - New manager Erik ten Hag saw the depth of the crisis at Manchester United when his side fell to a 2-1 Premier League defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Sunday, with German Pascal Groß scoring twice.

USMNT Star Brenden Aaronson Scores Game-Winner (Kind Of) For Leeds In First EPL Game

American and Leeds United fans couldn’t have had a better Saturday as USMNT forward Brenden Aaronson grabbed a game-winner, sort of, in a 2-1 victory vs. Wolves. He and Tyler Adams looked great in their first Premier League game.

With the score tied at 1-1 late in the second half and Wolves looking the more threatening side, Leeds and manager Jesse Marsch needed something special. 

A dangerous and precise pass from Adams got the move started for Leeds and then a cross from Patrick Bamford found Aaronson for the winner in the 74th minute.

La Sangre Mexicana Del LA Galaxy Le Da Otro Duro Golpe A Chivas

Chivas está en un lugar frío y oscuro. El Rebaño no gana ni en los amistosos y tras una derrota por 2-0 ante el LA Galaxy sumó su octavo partido consecutivo sin conocer la victoria.

Curiosamente, la caída del equipo que solo admite futbolistas mexicanos en su plantel vino con el sello de la sangre mexicana que juega en el LA Galaxy: asistencia de Efraín Álvarez y un gol del juvenil Jonathan Pérez. Como si no fuera suficiente, los dos nacidos en Estados Unidos, crecieron en familias que adoran a Chivas.
