Manchester United vs Tottenham LIVE!
Spurs produced one of the statement results of Ange Postecoglou’s tenure so far as they cruised to a stylish 3-0 victory over sorry Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. The visitors were dominant at Old Trafford, taking the lead inside just three minutes as Brennan Johnson notched his fourth goal in as many games following a spectacular run and assist from Micky van de Ven.
The Welsh forward also hit the post as the chances continued to pile up for Tottenham, with Alejandro Garnacho also striking the woodwork before things went from bad to worse for United as captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off for a challenge on James Maddison. That misery was compounded by Kobbie Mainoo heading straight down the tunnel and Spurs doubling their advantage soon after the interval when Johnson’s deflected cross was flicked past Andre Onana by the excellent Dejan Kulusevski.
United’s 10 men rallied midway through the second half, though could not find the elusive goal to make things interesting as instead Dominic Solanke turned in from close range after substitutes Lucas Bergvall and Pape Sarr had immediately combined at a corner. A day to remember for Postecoglou, but an abysmal performance and result that heaps yet more pressure on Erik ten Hag.
