Manchester United Vs Spurs.
Red Devils Vs. Lilywhites
- Both teams score in the early minutes:
The game started in the most flurry style as the hosts began to apply the pressure. Moments later, United won a penalty when Sanchez tripped Martial. Honestly, the Red Devils have been getting a lot of penalties recently. Fernandes made no mistake and converted the spot-kick to give his side the lead. It looked like United would take the game from here but, football is full of surprises. Spurs reacted and equalized as they took an early throw-in that bamboozled Bailly and Maguire. Ndombele took advantage of Maguire's sloppy header and leveled the score.
2. Spurs continue to decimate:
It looked like that equalizer gave Jose's men a significant boost as they began to press heavily and continued to take advantage of the host's defensive woes. The North London outfit increased their lead as they took an early freekick. Kane played an immediate pass to Son, who burst towards the United's box and scored his side's second goal. Things turned from bad to worse for the hosts as they were left clueless. Mourinho's men extended the lead when United's defense was exposed again, Bailly, the culprit. Son capitalized and played the pass to Kane to score the third goal for his side.
3. Fingers pointed towards United's board:
The Theatre of Dreams turned into a nightmare as the hosts conceded the fourth goal. Post Sir Alex's era, the Red Devils have failed to win the Premier League and have undergone managerial changes. Only Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho have managed to win silverware (FA Cup under LVG and FA Community Shield, Carabao Cup, and Europa League under Jose Mourinho) for United before being sacked. One of the club's main concerns is the board's lack of interest in the club.
Various club's supporters have blamed Woodward for not backing the managers. But this does not mean that Ole is not at fault. A manager with no philosophy, tactics, etc., will not be the solution to everything. Previously, Mourinho complained that he did not receive adequate funds to strengthen the side. It looks like that the statement is turning out to be accurate as the current boss, Solsjkaer, is also facing a similar situation, and he could end up similarly like his predecessors.

4.Red Devils suffer humiliation at the hands of their ex-coach:
The hosts conceded the fifth goal in the second half when Spurs played swiftly as Aurier found space and scored past De Gea. Ole's men were clueless as they had no answers to the London Outfit's tactics. This side finished 3rd last campaign after an impressive winning streak post lockdown and all that had disappeared. The London outfit nailed the coffin as they won a penalty thanks to Pogba, and England's striker Harry Kane converted successfully to notch his second of the night. The score reminded of their previous humiliation against their city rivals nine years ago.
In the end, Jose Mourinho had the last laugh as he demolished his ex-team. The final score was 6-1, and it was the same score nine years ago when they faced their rivals. The Red Devils took an early lead with Fernandes converting the spot-kick. Spurs immediately equalized when they capitalized on Maguire's error and Ndombele scoring. After that, Mourinho's men were looking sharp and scored their second goal when Kane played an early pass to Son from a quick freekick. There was an incident involving Lamela and Martial. The VAR showed that the Argentine shoved initially, but the Frenchman retaliated and was sent-off. Many would say Lamela should have been given a straight red.
Things got worse as exposed again, and Kane made no mistake as he scored the third goal for his side. Spurs scored their fourth goal as the South Korean also found the back of the net. Spurs entirely controlled the second-half as they looked dangerous. Aurier scored the fifth goal for his side and too added woes. United conceded a penalty, and Harry Kane converted the spot-kick to make it 6-1.
