Unusual Boxing Day: Manchester United win with a stunner, tradition broken
Dec 26 2025 23:17 · بواسطة onefootball.com · 213 عدد المشاهدات
Boxing Day 2025 was an exception in the Premier League and featured only one match on the schedule. At Old Trafford, Manchester United defeated Newcastle with a stunning goal by Patrick Dorgu , on a day that marked a historic turning point in the English calendar.
United's victory was the only match played on December 26, a date traditionally associated with a full day of football in England. However, due to contractual issues with television networks, the Premier League decided to spread the fixtures between the 27th and 28th, leaving this match as the only one of the day.
With this result, the Red Devils ended the year with a smile in front of their fans, on a different kind of Boxing Day, where the television business prevailed—at least this time—over one of the most iconic traditions of English football.
