Tottenham were very much their own worst enemy on Wednesday evening as they missed a glorious opportunity to move into second place in the Premier League table. Travelling to Old Trafford full of confidence after registering three wins on the bounce, Antonio Conte's men crashed down to earth with an almighty bang following a 2-0 defeat against Manchester United.
On an evening when even the most optimistic person would find it incredibly tough to come up with a positive or two from the performance, one was perhaps the fact that the Lilywhites only conceded the two goals in Manchester. It really could have been five or six if it was not for the heroics of the superb Hugo Lloris.
The World Cup winner was badly let down by his Tottenham teammates as he made save after save to keep them in the contest. The three points were only heading one way once Fred's deflected effort found the bottom corner seconds after half-time.
