What Ryan Mason's Tottenham squad did ahead of Man Utd game and Ivan Perisic's strange decision

Mason and Tottenham fans get the required reaction

Following last Sunday's horror show at St. James' Park, the last thing Tottenham Hotspur needed to do in their Premier League home match against Manchester United was concede early on. Seven minutes in and Ryan Mason's team were already one goal behind following Jadon Sancho's strike.

The goal did bear some similarities with Jacob Murphy's four days earlier as both Pedro Porro and Cristian Romero stood off the tricky winger and allowed him the time and space to arrow the ball in beyond Fraser Forster. Creating a few good openings as they looked to restore parity, Richarlison should have done better with a shot straight at David de Gea after Son Heung-min had played him through, before Ivan Perisic then tested the Spaniard with a good header from Pedro Porro's corner.
