Man Utd hit PL low at Old Trafford The Spain international has been forced to undergo groin surgery, with Jose Mourinho admitting that he expects to be without the midfielder for “a long time”.

In case you didn’t know… History repeated itself for Manchester City after Gabriel Jesus’ late winner was ruled out by VAR as it was believed to have been preceded by a handball from Aymeric Laporte. The defending Premier League champions had to accept a 2-2 draw against Tottenham, a result that marks the first time they dropped points at home since losing to Crystal Palace in December last year.
