Tottenham Hotspur put on a show with a smashing 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford, leaving Erik ten Hag with plenty to worry about as United’s winless streak hit three Premier League games. From the get-go, Spurs made it clear they meant business. Micky van de Ven charged up from deep in his own half, dodging challenges like a pro, and sent a perfect cross for Brennan Johnson to tap in at the back post just three minutes in. That was Johnson’s fourth goal in as many games, setting the stage for a relentless Spurs display, with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski having a field day against United’s wobbly defence.
Spurs kept the pressure on, with Johnson hitting the post and Destiny Udogie firing over from a good spot. United had a few moments, with Kobbie Mainoo setting up Joshua Zirkzee for a shot that forced a great save from Guglielmo Vicario. But just before halftime, Bruno Fernandes got a straight red for a reckless challenge on Maddison, leaving United down to 10 men for the rest of the match.
The second half was more of the same from Tottenham, who quickly doubled their lead. Brennan Johnson was at it again, his cross deflecting off Matthijs de Ligt to find Dejan Kulusevski, who slotted it home to make it 2-0. United tried to fight back with Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, who hit the post with a thunderous volley, but Spurs were firmly in control.
As the match dragged on, Erik ten Hag’s side struggled to find a way back, and Tottenham delivered the final blow in the 78th minute. Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr, fresh off the bench, linked up beautifully to set up Dominic Solanke for a tidy finish, sealing the deal. Spurs’ impressive win marked their fourth straight victory, pushing them up the Premier League table, while Manchester United’s woes continued, leaving them stuck in the bottom half with just two league wins this season.
