Son-less Tottenham defeats direction-less United

Tottenham delivered a stunning performance to dismantle a 10-man Manchester United at Old Trafford, intensifying the pressure on United manager Erik ten Hag.

Spurs, despite missing the injured Son Heung-min, dominated the first half, with Brennan Johnson scoring an early third-minute goal following a brilliant run by Micky van de Ven.

United struggled to keep pace and were reduced to 10 men when Bruno Fernandes was sent off for a reckless challenge on James Maddison just before halftime.

By then, United had already been outclassed, with Tottenham creating multiple chances but failing to capitalize, notably with Timo Werner missing a one-on-one opportunity against goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Spurs doubled their lead shortly after the break when Dejan Kulusevski lifted a delicate finish over Onana after another swift attack.

Dominic Solanke added a third goal 12 minutes from time, turning in Pape Matar Sarr’s flick from a corner, sealing a dominant display for Spurs and prompting many United fans to exit the stadium early.
