Goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke sealed the win for Tottenham Hotspur.

After putting in a subpar performance, Erik ten Hag might be afraid for his job after supposedly coming close to being fired in the summer.
Spurs dominated possession from the start, so it came as no surprise when they seized the lead three minutes in when Johnson scored at the far post following excellent work by Micky van de Ven.

Spurs controlled as United withered away in the first half, even though they did not score again. Three minutes before halftime, James Maddison went past Fernandes who surged and was sent off for a challenge that hit higher than planned.

Ten Hag, who had a chance to regroup, must have been shocked to surrender two minutes into the second half, as Kulusevski deftly finished following more excellent work from Johnson.

Then, as United began to gain momentum in the match, Spurs secured the points with Solanke sliding the ball into the net following Pape Sarr's corner kick.

Ten Hag is under further pressure as a result of the away end making fun of the home crowd, the team, and the manager in the remaining minutes.
