United's victory moved them on to 58 points with two games remaining, meaning they still have the chance to match their tally from the 2013-14 campaign under David Moyes, which is their lowest since the 59 they struggled to in 1990-91.

BarnsleyCarlo van de Watering, Reds Report How is your season going? An underwhelming and disappointing start for Barnsley FC.
This is now being reviewed over the course of this season; the FA currently review player participation on a case by case basis.
Who are Maeda, Hatate & Ideguchi? You have Daizen Maeda who just collected the co golden boot award and was in the J League best 11.
He was restricted to just four minutes as a substitute during Monday's FA Cup third-round victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
Six years later, he helped them qualify for the Fifa World Cup in Germany after scoring 11 goals in the qualifiers.
Lahlou Benbraham was advised to review the incident pitch-side and brandished a red to the surprise of the Cape Verdeans.

When asked by BBC East Midlands Today if he felt the deal could be completed in the next seven to 10 days, the Rams boss replied: I think it will. Having seen the progress this week, I think there is a very good chance of that.
He was dropped in the aftermath of that controversy, but has since seemingly returned to Tuchel's good graces and to Chelsea's starting XI.
Kulesza's outrage, which led him to initially reject out of hand any notion of letting the coach out of his contract, is at least partly justified. Sousa took over Robert Lewandowski's side at the start of 2021 and oversaw in the last 12 months both a first-round exit from Euro 2020 and a second-placed finish in their World Cup qualifying group, leaving them at the mercy of the play-offs.

Manchester United were forced to close first-team operations at their Carrington training complex on Monday afternoon after recording a small number of positive Covid cases among first-team players and staff.
I would be very surprised if Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t try and do it. He doesn’t want to make himself look silly and he still wants to prove himself at Manchester United. He wants to be the oldest player at top-level football and still wants to be as fit as anybody. He will have a go and his other qualities will help him. You don’t need 11 robots out there, you still need a bit of guile and someone who can improvise and make something out of nothing. But you can’t carry too many of them, and I do think Rangnick was involved in the decision to drop Ronaldo against Chelsea at the weekend. I don't think Michael Carrick would have done that unless he was told to.
