Douglas Lewis’ ceremony after scoring became a source of trouble.
Aston Villa lost 1-2 to Manchester United in the 24th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, at 1:30 a.m. on the 12th (Korea time). Manchester United, with three points, ranked sixth in the league with 41 points, and Villa remained fifth in the league with 46 points.
It was a game held at Villa’s home, but Manchester United took the lead first. In the 17th minute of the first half, Rasmus Hoirun finished the ball that was hit by Maguire’s head in a corner kick and shook the net. Villa also stayed still. He constantly attacked by trying 10 shots in the first half alone, but Andre Onana did a good job and could not easily open the Manchester United goal. 룸알바
Villa’s onslaught continued in the second half as well. He attempted 13 shots and eventually kept the ball in balance. In the 21st minute of the second half, Onana blocked Clement Langle’s shot at a corner kick, but Douglas Luiz scored the equalizer when Bailey connected with the ball. Shortly after scoring, Luiz expressed joy with a dance ceremony that shook his shoulder strongly.
The game ended in Manchester United’s victory. In the 41st minute of the second half, Scott McTominay scored a header off Dalot’s cross from the right and succeeded in turning the game around. There was no more score and Villa ended the game with a 1-2 loss.
Lewis, who scored the equalizer, had to be ridiculed. United legend Rio Ferdinand posted a picture of Lewis’ ceremony on his social media after the match and wrote, “Are you okay?”
“I have no opinion on that. I haven’t talked to the players about it. Maybe it was the driving force to turn the tables. I don’t think that’s important. We have to think about our game, not the other team,” coach Erik ten Hag said of Lewis’ ceremony.
Lewis hails from Manchester City. He joined the club in the 2017-18 season, but had never played in an official match, having spent time in Girona on loan due to a work permit issue. “I just wanted to get on their nerves a little bit. It wasn’t that serious of a move. Still, it didn’t end well. I will never do that against them again,” he said, regretting his move.
