Manchester Utd vs Tottenham Hotspur: Match review
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United got back to winning ways after two back-to-back draws in the Premier League. They are now the first team to inflict defeat on Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur. Marcus Rashford continued his fine form when he opened the scoring in the 6th minute. His low shot caught Paulo Gazzaniga by surprise as the keeper was beaten at the near post. Despite being second-best for much of the contest, Tottenham found themselves level in the 39th minute thanks to a great finish by Dele Alli. The England international dragged the ball over Fred before scoring past a hapless David de Gea. Rashford scored his second of the match from the spot, having been awarded a penalty in the 47th minute. The game ended at 2-1 in Manchester United's favour.
