MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Last-place Sheffield United pulled off the biggest upset in the Premier League this season, beating Manchester United 2-1 away to deny Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team a return to first place on Wednesday.
A series of defensive blunders by Man United contributed to Oliver Burke scoring a deflected goal in the 74th that proved to be the winner at Old Trafford, ending the hosts’ three-month unbeaten run in the league.
United would have reclaimed top spot — at the expense of local rival Manchester City — with a win but produced an error-strewn performance, with goalkeeper David De Gea at fault for both of Sheffield United’s goals.
