Manchester United endured a tough evening at Old Trafford, falling to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur.
The visitors took control of the game early on, with Brennan Johnson setting the tone for the night with a swift goal, while Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke added their names to the scoresheet to secure an impressive victory for Tottenham.
The first goal came just three minutes into the match when Brennan Johnson pounced on a defensive mistake from Manchester United, calmly slotting the ball past the goalkeeper. As the game progressed, Manchester United's fortunes went from bad to worse when Bruno Fernandes was sent off with a red card shortly before halftime, leaving his side down to ten men.
Tottenham capitalized on their numerical advantage shortly after the break, with Dejan Kulusevski doubling their lead. His well-placed shot left United's defense scrambling and set the stage for what would become a dominant performance. As Manchester United struggled to find a way back into the game, Dominic Solanke sealed the win for Tottenham in the 77th minute with a powerful strike that left no doubt about the result.
Looking ahead, Manchester United will need to regroup quickly as they prepare for their UEFA Europa League clash against FC Twente on September 25th. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur will be brimming with confidence as they take on Brighton & Hove Albion in their next Premier League fixture.
This result has left Manchester United in a difficult position in the league standings, currently sitting in 11th place with seven points from five matches. Tottenham Hotspur, now in 10th place, also has seven points but will look to build on this momentum as they move forward in their campaign.
