da lvbet： David de Gea should have saved Ismaila Sarr’s weak shot that put Watford ahead against Manchester United.
da pinnacle： The ball bounced off the ground straight towards the Spain international, but he still managed to let it slip through his fingers and into the net, via rebounds from his face and the post.
From that moment on, there was understandably a willingness from the Red Devils to get themselves back into the game, but it came across as desperation from many.

That was shown best a matter of minutes after the opener, when the £50m Aaron Wan-Bissaka went flying into a challenge on Sarr, giving away a penalty.
The 22-year-old is usually so reliable in his defensive work, as shown by the fact that he has averaged 4.4 tackles per game in the Premier League this season, but just 0.4 fouls.
However, this moment was so reckless and needless from the right-back, as Sarr wasn’t going into a prime position to shoot, while Harry Maguire was also there in support.
Considering the calibre of United’s defenders, this should have been a scenario that was dealt with relatively easily – it ended up resulting in a Troy Deeney spot-kick smashing the back of the net.
There were further signs throughout the game that tempers were growing among the men in red, such as when Maguire grew visibly frustrated with Deeney.
However, there was no moment that epitomised United’s desperation quite like that attempted tackle from Wan-Bissaka.
This was definitely a day to forget for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team, as they allowed Watford to get their first home win since April, as reported by The Guardian.

Considering the recent victories against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, with Wan-Bissaka being given a rating of 9 by The Independent in the second of those, much more will have been expected at Vicarage Road.
