Manchester United dismissed Ruben Amorim on Monday after 14 months, citing their sixth-place Premier League position following a 1-1 draw at Leeds. The Portuguese manager, who joined from Sporting CP in November 2024 and reached the Europa League final, posted a 38.1% win rate across 63 games—the worst since Sir Alex Ferguson left.

Newcastle United beat Tottenham 2-1 on Tuesday, with Malick Thiaw scoring in first-half stoppage time and Jacob Ramsey netting the winner in the 68th minute from Gordon's cutback. Eddie Howe's decision to start Gordon centrally—leaving £124 million signings Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade on the bench—drew pre-match criticism over Gordon's lack of striker goals and poor record starting there, but it fueled a dominant first half with nine corners. Ramsey called his first Magpies goal 'pure emotion,' while Howe praised Gordon's pressing and pace for giving the team a fluid, aggressive edge amid their striker struggles.

Key Takeaway

Anthony Gordon lined up through the middle with no traditional striker, a gamble that had fans debating fiercely before kickoff. It paid off as Newcastle snapped their five-match winless run.
