In the central match of the 6th round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Tottenham at Old Trafford.
From the very start, the game went against Erik ten Hag's plan. Spurs took the lead as early as the 3rd minute, with Brennan Johnson scoring off an assist from Micky van de Ven.
Towards the end of the first half, United's forward Bruno Fernandes was sent off for a reckless challenge, marking his first red card as a Red Devil.
Early in the second half, the hosts' troubles deepened. Dejan Kulusevski doubled Tottenham's lead in the 47th minute.
To their credit, United didn’t give up despite being down to 10 men and trailing by two goals. They continued to pressure Guglielmo Vicario's goal.
However, it was the visitors who struck again, with Dominic Solanke adding a third to seal the victory.
After today's match, Manchester United has dropped to 12th place in the Premier League table, with 7 points from 6 matches. Tottenham sits in 8th (10 points).
