Man Utd established their dominance over midfield early on, effectively using the spaces between Spurs’ lines.

Hugo Lloris and Tottenham’s post saved Tottenham from conceding several goals throughout the first period. But that wasn’t enough to stop Man Utd from restarting their attacks after half-time.

This time, however, the Red Devils found the back of the net almost immediately. A deflected shot from Fred found the back of the net to give United their deserved lead.

Tottenham pushed hard to find a quick return into the game, but a fantastic save from David de Gea stopped Harry Kane from scoring his side’s equalizer from close range.

United then doubled their game through a swift counter-attack in the 69th minute. A stunning curler from Bruno Fernandes put the victory to bed for United, killing Spurs’ hopes for a comeback.

United then successfully controlled the game to victory, bouncing back from their uninspiring home draw against Newcastle over the weekend.
