New England 1-4 Inter Miami CF: Messi nets brace, Suarez scores [VIDEO]

Lionel Messi made history in Major League Soccer (MLS) by becoming the first player to record five consecutive matches with multiple goal contributions (goals or assists) as Inter Miami secured a 4-1 victory over the New England Revolution.

Messi’s stellar performance included goals in both halves, guiding his team to another triumph as Tata Martino’s side maintains its position at the top of the Eastern Conference with a record of 6 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses.

With his eighth and ninth goals of the season, Messi continues to climb the ranks of Inter Miami’s all-time top scorers, with Gonzalo Higuain’s record of 29 goals in sight for this season. Despite the eventual positive outcome for the visitors, the game began on a challenging note.

Inter Miami faced defensive challenges early on, conceding a goal to Thomas Chancalay in less than a minute, giving the hosts an early lead and a surge of momentum.

However, Inter Miami responded, with Messi showcasing his goal-scoring prowess. His eighth goal of the season came in the 32nd minute, as he clinically finished a chance at the near post in front of a crowd of 65,000 fans.

In the second half, Messi continued his magic. Sergio Busquets delivered a superb through ball, allowing Messi to elegantly finish to the opposite post.

Benjamin Cremaschi extended Inter Miami’s lead with a goal in the 83rd minute, sealing the victory before Luis Suarez added another goal in the 88th minute.

Inter Miami’s next match will be against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.

Arsenal supporters MOCK Old Trafford's leaking roof as they celebrate returning to top

Manchester United faced another setback on Sunday as rain poured through Old Trafford’s leaky roof after a home defeat to Arsenal.

Despite improvements from their previous match, Erik ten Hag’s side couldn’t find the net, succumbing to a 1-0 loss.

The sudden thunderstorms exposed issues with the roof, leading to a torrent of water cascading onto the pitch.

Fans had to seek cover, highlighting the sorry state of the iconic stadium.

Many supporters expressed frustration on social media, criticizing the Glazers for neglecting Old Trafford’s upkeep and maintenance.

Some fans called for immediate action to fix the roof and address other stadium issues, pointing out that the neglect has left the club trailing behind others.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, following his purchase of the club, planned significant upgrades, including addressing the roof and other infrastructure problems.

The decline of Old Trafford, once a premier stadium, has become symbolic of the Glazers’ neglect over the past 18 years.

As rivals enjoy modern facilities, Manchester United’s stadium woes have become a target for mockery, with even opposing fans singing about its deterioration.
