Tottenham vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Spurs dominate
Who will land a telling blow early in the new Premier League season?
Tottenham beat Manchester United 2-0 with an impressive display in their first home game under new manager Ange Postecoglou.
An entertaining first half ended goalless but Spurs came out quickly in the second and took the lead through midfielder Pape Sarr, who pounced on a deflected cross to fire into the roof of the net from close range. Later a flowing move found substitute Ben Davies arriving in the box, whose shot was diverted in by United defender Lisandro Martinez.
It capped the perfect start to Postecoglou’s reign at home, while for Erik ten Hag the game suggested there are plenty of problems to solve before the transfer market shuts in 10 days’ time.
