Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed their outing at Old Trafford as they beat the miserable 10 men of Manchester United 3-0 in the Premier League (PL), going a fourth consecutive head-to-head unbeaten in the process.

Spurs came out aggressively and were rewarded in the third minute thanks to a swashbuckling burst forward from Micky van de Ven, which started in his own half and culminated in a pinpoint pass across goal for Brennan Johnson to convert at the back post.

James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski then linked up brilliantly before the former was denied by Andre Onana, and Destiny Udogie fired over as United struggled to deal with the visitors.

Johnson then came agonisingly close to a second, hitting the post at the end of another swift Spurs move forward.

Moments later, Kobbie Mainoo teed up Joshua Zirkzee for an effort that forced an impressive save from Guglielmo Vicario, but it wasn’t long until Ange Postecoglou’s men were creating problems again with Cristian Romero’s acrobatic effort fizzing agonisingly wide.

Even so, there was another scare as Marcus Rashford’s cross found Alejandro Garnacho, who smashed his volley against the post.

Timo Werner let United off with a tame effort after breaking behind, but the abject hosts suffered further punishment before the break as Bruno Fernandes was sent off for his challenge on Maddison – becoming the fourth United captain to be sent off in a Premier League game at Old Trafford.
