Tottenham Hotspur delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over a struggling Manchester United at Old Trafford, as Erik ten Hag’s side once again faltered in front of their home fans. Spurs, brimming with confidence, controlled the game from start to finish, with Manchester United offering little to no resistance.
The tone was set early on when Brennan Johnson capitalized on Micky van de Ven’s powerful run, coolly finishing to give Tottenham the lead. United’s struggles were compounded when captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off, leaving the hosts with an even steeper hill to climb.
Despite being a man down, United could not mount any meaningful response, and Tottenham punished them further in the second half. Dejan Kulusevski doubled the lead with a clinical finish, before Dominic Solanke added a third to cap off Spurs’ dominance.
The result exposed United’s vulnerabilities, leaving Ten Hag with growing questions about the direction of his project as the team slips into the bottom half of the Premier League.
For Tottenham, the win marks back-to-back triumphs under Ange Postecoglou, who continues to steer his team up the table, now sitting in eighth. Meanwhile, the pressure intensifies on United, with their lackluster performance leaving Old Trafford in a state of concern.
