Jose Mourinho blasted the attitude of his Manchester United players after Saturday’s draw with Wolves and said he was more upset with the result than the heavy defeat to Tottenham. United were held 1-1 by the Premier League new boys at Old Trafford to end a run of three straight wins and Mourinho said afterward his players were too “relaxed” while Wolves treated the game like a “World Cup final.” “Not a good performance, not a good result,” Mourinho told a news conference. “A fair result.

Borussia Dortmund’s Christian Pulisic scored an 84th minute equaliser to rescue a 1-1 draw at Hoffenheim on Saturday. Pulisic, who got the winner at Club Brugge in a 1-0 Champions League group stage victory in midweek, tapped the ball home after good work from Marco Reus to earn his team a point. Brazilian Joelinton put the hosts ahead on the stroke of halftime and Hoffenheim looked to be cruising after having two other efforts disallowed and also hitting the woodwork. Things turned worse for the visitors when Diallo was sent off for a last-man foul on Andrej Kramaric but Pulisic…

Aguero’s close-range strike just after the half-hour opened the floodgates with Silva heading home three minutes later and Ilkay Gundogan firing home a glorious third…
It was debatable what was more worrying at Old Trafford on Saturday: Manchester United’s draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers or the reasoning Jose Mourinho gave afterwards for the result. “It is the basic law of football,” said Mourinho. “Something you learn in the academy.” He is right, and it does not bode well, especially as everything seems to be coming so easily to everyone else. While United were struggling against the Premier League newcomers, Manchester City were putting five past Cardiff. At the same time, Liverpool were beating Southampton 3-0. The gap between United and the top is already eight points.…
