The Prodigal Son: Welbeck’s Stats Vs. Manchester United

You just couldn’t predict a more sweeter way to defeat United. 2-1 sweaty win with a Manchester born, United prodigy who was kicked out by the club he wore on his sleeve. Not only scoring against them and celebrating too, it was the goal that sent Manchester United’s last chance of the trophy away for this season. He’s just that guy.

WhoScored Rating – 7.76

It started off at half time as frustration as United dominated possession, albeit doing nothing much with it with the scores level at the break. Both shots he had at goal in the game was on target (30′ & 60′).

One thing he can boast of when head to head with teammate Giroud is his passing was 85.7% Monday. The only player to have a better pass accuracy was unsurprisingly in 90 minutes, Santi Cazorla. Herrera had a pass accuracy of 89%, but only played 45 minutes. He completed 1 take on and was fouled on 2 occassions.

As the pressure built despite playing against 10 men United Welbeck contributed with 3 clearances and 1 interception. It’s 8 goals for the Englishman now, double Falcao’s tally. Aha.

Danny Welbeck, he left because you’re…. I’ll let you finish the rest.
