Manchester United’s Gritty Comeback Against Ipswich Town

On the late night of February 27 in Premier League round 27, Manchester United secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over newly promoted Ipswich Town at Old Trafford. The match got off to a shocking start when Ipswich took the lead in the 4th minute. A defensive error combined with goalkeeper Andre Onana’s lapse allowed new signing Patrick Dorgu to provide a pass that found Jaden Philogene, who calmly slotted the ball home.

United took their time to respond, finally breaking their duck after more than 26 minutes. To reverse the deficit, Bruno Fernandes stepped up with two set-piece goals in the 22nd and 26th minutes. However, the momentum shifted when young Dorgu, just 20 years and 123 days old – the club’s youngest Premier League red card since Luke Shaw in February 2015 – was sent off in the 43rd minute for a dangerous challenge on Omari Hutchinson after a VAR review.

Reduced to 10 men, United conceded again five minutes later, as Ipswich managed to level the score. But in the second half’s early stages, Bruno Fernandes delivered from a corner, setting up Harry Maguire to head home a dramatic winner and seal the 3-2 victory. This result lifted United to 14th place with 33 points, while Ipswich remains firmly in the relegation zone.

Liverpool Edges Newcastle at Anfield

Over at Anfield, Liverpool continued their impressive title charge with a 2-0 win over Newcastle. The visitors broke the deadlock in the 11th minute when Luis Diaz set up Dominik Szoboszlai to open the scoring, and Liverpool never looked back. The second goal came in the 63rd minute, with Mohamed Salah providing an assist for Mac Allister, who confidently fired the ball past the opposition.

Mac Allister’s goal marked his 101st of the season across all competitions—a milestone that adds to Salah’s impressive tally of 52 goals and 17 assists in the Premier League this season. Adding to Liverpool’s delight, news broke that Arsenal had settled for a goalless draw with Nottingham Forest earlier that day, widening the gap in the title race.

Liverpool have now scored at least two goals in 18 consecutive home matches across all competitions—the longest streak by a top English club since Sunderland’s 19-match run from February to December 1935. They’ve also extended their unbeaten run against Newcastle in the league to 17 matches (12 wins and 5 draws). The two sides will face off again in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on March 16.

Other Premier League Results

In the other round 27, Tottenham Hotspur was the only home side to fall, losing 0-1 to Manchester City, while Arsenal managed just a 0-0 draw away at Nottingham Forest.
