Tottenham Claims 1-0 Win Against Manchester United

256

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison’s early goal was enough for his side to end a barren home run in the Premier League, beating fellow strugglers Manchester United 1-0 in an entertaining clash, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.

Maddison, back in the starting lineup after injury, tapped in a rebound from close range after 13 minutes to settle a contest.

Tottenham’s first home league win for 105 days eased the pressure on their Australian manager Ange Postecoglou with his team moving above United into 12th place with 30 points.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim’s tough start to life at Old Trafford continues though and the Portuguese has now lost eight of the 14 Premier League matches since he took charge.

His side dropped to 15th with 29 points as they became the first United outfit to suffer defeats in a league double against Spurs since the 1989-90 season.

“I am not worried. I understand our fans, what the media think about it. I hate to lose, that feeling is the worst,” Amorim said.

“I am confident in my work. The place in the table is my worry, I am not worried about me.”

There are still 13 Premier League games left this season, while Spurs and United are UEFA Europa League favourites.
