Antony went through a match where he should have become a name that received a lot of praise, but in the end, with Man Utd admitting defeat, this blockbuster contract continued to sink into a series of dark days.
The former Ajax striker was named in the starting lineup in the great battle against Chelsea. He clearly showed his determination right from the first minutes when participating regularly in both attack and defense support.
However, Antony turned into a criminal after fouling Marc Cucurella in the penalty area, indirectly causing the Red Devils to concede a second goal.
To be able to atone for his sins, No. 21 played harder in the next period. And in the end, he left his mark with a pass that helped Garnacho score a goal to increase the score to 3-2.
To be fair, Antony played impressively in the last encounter.
The heat map clearly shows the contributions of the hundred million ”compass” at both ends of the field.
Besides the assist, Antony also created 2 key passes and made a number of long passes with absolute accuracy (3/3).
Notably, in all 6 times he dribbled the ball past him, he was successful.
However, that impressive day was overshadowed by Cole Palmer’s two goals in injury time.
It’s sad for blockbuster Man Utd.
