Tottenham Hotspur dominated against Manchester United and they were missing their three best players, Son Heung-min, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.

Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr were also absent after travelling to the Africa Cup of Nations, which meant their midfield consisted of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp and Rodrigo Bentancur.

Spurs had 64 per cent possession and they recorded 16 shots. The only thing missing from their confident second-half performance was a winning goal for the victory.

Tottenham want to play on the front foot, press and defend with a high line to win the ball in dangerous areas. They want to entertain and Postecoglou has done a wonderful job.
