Manchester United 2-0 Tottenham: Fred and Bruno Fernandes score as Utd beat tame Spurs at Old Trafford
A display of invigorating aggression and imagination — Manchester United’s best under Erik ten Hag — was far too much for a tame Spurs side, second-half goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes bringing United to within four points of Spurs, with a game in hand. United were excellent in the first half, monopolising possession and pulling Spurs about with their passing and aggression. But, though they had 19 shots at goal — more than in any 90 minutes this season — and though Antony hit the post with a fine effort from distance, they only made one clear-cut chance, a shot from Marcus Rashford which Hugo Lloris tipped away.
