MFF in crisis - longest losing streak in 18 years

For the first time in 18 years, Malmö FF has lost four straight matches in the Swedish Football League. Västerås won 3–2 away from home.

Mikkel Ladefoged gave Miguel Ángel Ramirez, the Spaniard who took over as MFF coach this season, further headaches.

In stoppage time, the 22-year-old Dane rushed forward and headed in Simon Gefvert's precise cross to secure the victory, 3–2, for visiting Västerås.

Malmö FF has had major challenges with injuries during the spring, but that is something that the Skåne team is usually able to handle. Now MFF, who were booed by the home fans afterwards, is in crisis. This was the fourth straight loss - something that has not happened to the champions since the autumn of 2008, according to TV4. After nine rounds, the gap to league leaders Sirius is already 15 points.
