Brentford overwhelms Amorim’s team in the first twenty minutes of play, taking advantage of defensive uncertainties: Thiago breaks through and puts the home side ahead 1-0, leaving the Red Devils already struggling. In the 18th minute, the lead is doubled. Bayindir parries Schade’s attempt, but on the rebound, it’s Thiago again who is ready and slots it under the Turkish goalkeeper for 2-0.

Soon after, Sesko scores his first goal in the Premier League, thanks to Dorgu who puts a difficult ball back into play. Kelleher punches it away but is under pressure from Mbeumo. The striker persists: stopped twice by the goalkeeper, on the third rebound he decisively puts it in the net.

Manchester’s pressing increases and the episode that could bring everything level arrives: in the 65th minute, Cunha breaks through on the right and serves Mbeumo, who only has to tap it in but is held back by Collins: yellow card for him. From the spot, Bruno Fernandes takes his usual hesitant run-up and shoots weakly: Kelleher saves it without any trouble.

This is the sixth penalty Bruno has missed since his arrival in the Premier League, making him the leader in this “ranking.” Manchester keeps attacking but leaves too many spaces, eventually being punished definitively by Yarmoliuk.

An endless nightmare for the Red Devils, who lose again in a clear and sensational way. Taunts and chants from Brentford fans towards Amorim, asking when he will be sacked. And the numbers are truly staggering: 33 matches, 9 wins, 7 draws, and as many as 17 defeats.
