Tottenham's Crisis Continues

After a 1:4 defeat to Arsenal, Igor Tudor's team sits in 16th place and fears relegation.

Manchester United secured a crucial victory at Goodison Park, defeating Everton 1:0. The decisive moment of the match occurred in the 71st minute when Benjamin Sesko, who came on as a substitute, utilized a pass from Bryan Mbeumo and beat the home goalkeeper with a precise shot. For the Slovenian striker, this was his third goal in the last four matches, despite coming off the bench each time. This win allowed the "Red Devils" to return to the top four Premier League, which currently grants them the right to start in next year's Champions League. Since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013, Manchester United has struggled with form stability, regularly changing managers in search of their former dominance in English football. Michael Carrick, serving as interim manager, has received praise for effective squad management and excellent timing in making substitutions. Under his leadership, the team is unbeaten in six matches, recording five wins and one draw. Sesko, purchased in the summer for 65 million pounds, is emerging as the successor to the legendary "super-sub" Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Meanwhile, Everton, despite a spirited performance, failed to respond to the visitors' goal and remains mid-table. Simultaneously, the league is witnessing a fierce title race between Arsenal and Manchester City, while Everton's local rival, Tottenham, is sinking into crisis after a heavy defeat to the "Gunners." The North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham is one of the oldest and most prestigious rivalries in English football, dating back to the early 20th century. Last weekend, Arsenal thrashed Tottenham 4:1, putting Igor Tudor's team in a difficult situation in the lower reaches of the table. Arsenal remains the leader, but Manchester City, after a victory over Newcastle, trails them by just two points with one game in hand. Media emphasize that the current season is one of the most competitive in recent years, both in the title race and the battle to stay in the top flight.
