Man United vs Tottenham Hotspur Match Report

Here’s the timeline of key moments from the match between United and Spurs over the weekend:

A record not worth for history books

After a tackle involving Casemiro, the referee reached into his pocket for a red card, but not for Casemiro. This time it was for the Spurs’ captain, Cristian Romer,o after he had challenged the Brazilian in a harsh challenge that left him on the ground for a while in the 29th minute of the game. The Argentine had to leave the pitch, leaving his team and teammates down to 10 men for the rest of the game. This is a new Spurs record set by Cuti Romero, being the most red-carded player for the club since his debut for Spurs (4). 

Bryan Mbeumo perfects Man United corner drill

After his red card, Thomas Frank made a defensive substitution, putting Dragusin in for Odobert. Nearly 6 minutes later, United got a corner and scored from it, as Bruno worked it perfectly to Kobbie Mainoo, who set it up perfectly for Mbeumo to score. The game went into half-time with United leading by one goal. 

Triple substitution for Spurs

The second half started with the ball in United’s control more than Spurs. The man down Spurs were clearly showing signs of containing the opponent without a threat of any attack incoming. Thomas Frank made a treble of substitutions in the 80th minute with Kolo Muani, Bissouma, and Tel coming in for Solanke, Gallagher, and Palhinha, respectively. The goal was to attack United in the last 10 minutes. 

United claps back with Bruno’s goal

While Frank made the subs to neutralize United’s attack, there wasn’t much the Spurs players could do when Diogo Dalot attempted a cross in the very next minute, only for Bruno to score United’s second of the evening. He became the second fastest player in the club’s history to reach 200 Goal Contributions with this goal against Spurs, just behind Wayne Rooney. 

A treble of substitutions for United

6 minutes later, it was time for Michael Carrick to make a triple substitution. Zirkzee, Ugarte, and Mazraoui were brought in to replace Mbeumo, Casemiro, and Luke Shaw, respectively. 

Dream debut for another Fletcher at Old Trafford

Youth. Courage. Success. It was a moment to cherish for the Fletchers and the United faithful, as Tyker Fletcher made his Man United debut at Old Trafford, making him the 258th academy graduate to represent the club at the senior level, joining his father and his twin brother, who came on for Kobbie Mainoo, another graduate of the Carrington academy.
