Man Utd 2-0 Tottenham: Fred and Bruno Fernandes score as Erik ten Hag’s team impress in deserved victory
[ad_1]
Manchester United produced a thrilling attacking performance to deservedly defeat Tottenham 2-0 at Old Trafford.
Fred’s opener was deflected in off Ben Davies early in the second half before Bruno Fernandes added a second as shots rained in on the Tottenham goal. This was surely the best performance by United since Erik ten Hag arrived at the club in the summer.
Antonio Conte’s side needed only a point to move above Manchester City into second but they were outplayed for much of the game. Indeed, Spurs had captain Hugo Lloris to thank for staying in it as long as they did – and then keeping the score down.
While the result means Spurs stay third and United retain fifth spot ahead of Newcastle, the trajectory of the two teams feels rather different after such a convincing display. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo did not feel a part of it. The veteran walked off down the tunnel late in the game having not been brought on as a substitute.
