'Tottenham will be mad after 6-1 defeat' - ten Hag warns United squad

Tottenham Hotspur banished all memories of their 6-1 defeat to Newcastle to complete a remarkable fightback against Manchester United on Thursday night.

Things started badly for the hosts as Jadon Sacho sent the visitors ahead inside seven minutes as Erik ten Hag’s men imposed themselves on the game. Marcus Rashford then finished off a wonderful move to send United into the break with a comfortable lead as the Tottenham players were booed off.

The second half saw a different Tottenham side come onto the pitch. From the off they controlled the tempo and, aided by key personnel like Christian Eriksen being taken off, they found a way back into the game - Pedro Porro volleying a shot home from the right side of the box.

From there Spurs continued to push and, despite a poor individual performance, Son Heung-min bobbled in an equaliser having been expertly picked out by Harry Kane inside the area. Spurs earned just one point but in the context of their recent performances it will feel like a whole lot more.

34 mins: Tottenham are growing into the match as they try to impose themselves on United’s midfield. Kane drops deep to receive the ball after Eric Dier wins it back.

He plays it on to Richarlison who once again dribbles into the box. Casemiro attempts to shrug him off the ball but Richarlison cuts it into the six-yard area but cannot pick out a teammate.

31 mins: Save! Tottenham’s corner is whipped into the near post where Ivan Perisic rises above everyone else and guides a headed effort towards goal.

It’s a great chance for the hosts but David De Gea reacts quickly and pushes the ball wide of the target.

28 mins: Chance for Spurs! A give and go from Richarlison gets the Tottenham man into the penalty area on the left hand side and he’s got a good angle to shoot.

Instead he looks to play in Pedro Porro arriving on the opposite side of the box but Luke Shaw manages to intercept and clear his lines.

25 mins: Save! Bruno Fernandes makes a run from the middle of Spurs’ final third and drifts into space on the inside left channel. He drills a left-footed shot from range and gets it to dip at the last minute forcing Fraser Forster to turn it wide of the far post!

22 mins: A step over from Bruno Fernandes sees the ball come through to Marcus Rashford. He dinks it across to Antony who flicks the ball into the right side of the box for Fernandes.

The United captain shoots on the turn but his effort is blocked behind for a corner that then comes to nothing.

19 mins: Off the line!

That looked like a certain goal for United as Sancho is fed into the left side of the box once again. He fizzes a shot at goal that Cristian Romero keeps out with a sharp block.

The ball bounces back to Sancho who hits it with his opposite foot and starts to celebrate just as Ivan Perisic nods it off the line!

14 mins: Chance! Harry Kane wins the ball after a miscue from Marcus Rashford. Kane flicks it on to Son Heung-min who threads it through the United centre-backs and gets Richarlison into the box.

He’s not looking at the best of angles but gets a shot away and forces David De Gea into a low stop.

13 mins: Chance for United to increase their lead here.

The visitors win a free kick 30-yards out from goals but it’s bang in front. Marcus Rashford is left to take a shot and strikes it well. He whips it across the wall but pulls the shot just wide of the far post.

Fraser Forster seemed to have it covered though.
