Spurs dominate Man Utd with 3-0 win and double from Son Heung-min
The Premier League season saw Tottenham Hotspur deliver a stellar performance in their first home game, beating Manchester United by three goals to nil, with Son Heung-min scoring a magnificent brace. Jose Mourinho's side's defeat was compounded by a red card for defender Anthony Martial late on. Here we highlight the five talking points of the match.
Son shines with double
Son Heung-min was the standout player from Tottenham's impressive team performance. The South Korean looked sharp and hungry throughout the game, getting his team off the mark with a stunning goal in the first half. He then scored a brilliant solo goal in the second half to seal the victory for Spurs.
Man Utd's lackluster performance
Manchester United delivered a lackluster performance, failing to really threaten Spurs throughout the match. They also had a red card for defender Anthony Martial, who was sent off in the closing minutes of the game. Mourinho's men have already fallen four points behind the top two in the league, ahead of their meeting with Brighton next weekend.
Tottenham midfield dominate
Tottenham's strong midfield was another standout feature of the game, with Moussa Sissoko, Tanguy Ndombele, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg all delivering commanding performances. They controlled the game's tempo, preventing United from getting into the game. Ndombele, in particular, stood out with his creativity and movement off the ball.
Man Utd's defense exposed
Manchester United's defense experienced a torrid time, with their backline repeatedly exposed by Tottenham's attacking threats. The likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, and Lucas Moura all caused United problems throughout the match. The visitors' defense appeared too slow and disorganized, with United unable to provide a robust response.
Tottenham's impressive start
Tottenham's impressive start to the season has shown that they can challenge for the league title this year. They have now won two of their opening three games and have a strong squad of players that can challenge any of the top teams. Under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo, they will look to build on this performance and deliver success for their fans this season.
In conclusion, Tottenham Hotspur delivered an incredible performance in their first home game of the new Premier League season, beating Manchester United three-nil with a double from Son Heung-min. The Spurs team dominated throughout the game, with a strong midfield controlling the tempo and Harry Kane and Son Heung-min providing a potent attacking threat. On the other hand, Manchester United's defense was exposed, and their lackluster performance meant they could not impose themselves on the game. Tottenham's impressive start to the season shows that they could challenge for the league title, while Manchester United will need to improve if they are to compete with the top teams in England.
