After a humiliating 6-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United which saw the end of Cristian Stellini's short reign in charge of Tottenham, Spurs needed a pick-me-up. And new interim manager Ryan Mason got it from his players, albeit after a wobble.
Spurs hosted Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday night, looking for their second win in six matches, with Champions League qualification hanging by a thread.
Spurs got off to the worst possible start, conceding inside 10 minutes to a Jadon Sancho strike. After coming back into the game, they were handed a hammer blow when, moments before half-time, Marcus Rashford made it 2-0.
