Under the leadership of Michael Carrick, Manchester United continues its impressive run, which has resulted in a return to the zone guaranteeing Champions League participation. In a tough away clash at Goodison Park, the "Red Devils" withstood the pressure from Everton, with the decisive blow delivered by substitute Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian striker once again this season proved his worth as a super-sub, finishing a precise counter-attack in the final phase of the match. After the game, Carrick praised his team's maturity and mentality, highlighting the role of goalkeeper Senne Lammens, whose interventions were crucial for keeping a clean sheet. The rivalry between Manchester United and Everton is one of the classics of English football, dating back to 1892. Goodison Park, home to "The Toffees" for over 130 years, is considered one of the most distinctive and difficult stadiums for visitors in the Premier League. In Spain's La Liga, Monday brought sudden personnel changes. The board of RCD Mallorca announced the dismissal of coach Jagoba Arrasate. This decision came after a series of disappointing results that pushed the team down the table. Arrasate thus became the sixth coach sacked in the current Spanish league season. The media are already speculating about a successor, listing potential candidates capable of salvaging the season for the Balearic side. Simultaneously, the league saw an exciting clash between Deportivo Alavés and Girona, which ended in a share of points after a goal by Lucas Boyé. „Sesko's attitude earns praise. It was a game that required patience and iron discipline.” — Michael Carrick Meanwhile, in Germany, the mood after league matches remains tense. SC Freiburg players strongly criticized Borussia Mönchengladbach's performance, suggesting that the difference in level between the teams has been particularly painful for the "Foals" recently. In England, there is an ongoing debate about Dominik Szoboszlai's new role. Experts and fans suggest that Arne Slot should abandon the experiment of deploying the Hungarian on the right side of defense, as the team loses too much of his creativity in the central area of the pitch.
