Manchester United hosted Tottenham Hotspurs in another thrilling match of the English Premier League. The game started on a very high note in the first half. Tottenham Hotspurs started the game on a very high note and the team got its first goal in less than three minutes of the game.
Brennan Johnson scored the opening goal of the game and it set the pace of the game. This is where the woes of Manchester United began. Captain Bruno Fernandes tackled James Maddison in a very bad state and he was given a straight red card.
The first half ended 1-0 in favor of Tottenham Hotspurs. The second half started on a very high note and Tottenham Hotspurs started it on another high note by scoring an early goal just like the first half. Dejan Kulusveski added that second goal.
The game was more intense and Erik ten Hag had to change his tactics. The tactics however did not help much because the Tottenham Hotspurs players were more intelligent. The visitors later got the third goal after Pape Matar Sarr gave Dominic Solanke a very good pass.
Erik ten Hag’s changes included substituting Kobbie Maionoo with Mason Mount, Joshua Zirkzee with Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte with Christian Eriksen, Marcus Rashford with Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount with Amad Diallo.
Ange Postecoglou also made some changes in his team. He substituted Destiny Udogie with Djed Spence, Brennan Johnson with Mikey Moore, James Maddison with Pape Matar Sarr, Timo Werner with Lucas Bergvall and Micky van de Ven with Radu Dragusin.
This was yet another dismal performance from the Manchester United players. The statistics at Old Trafford are not looking good because, Manchester United has now only scored one Premier League goal at Old Trafford this season.
The game ended 3-0 in favor of Tottenham Hotspurs and the club now has ten points while Manchester United has 7 points after playing six games.
