EPL: Tottenham Thrash 10-Man Manchester United in Dominant Display

Manchester United's Woes Deepen as Tottenham Secure 3-0 Victory

 “We lacked discipline and control. We must improve quickly.”

Manchester United's struggles continue as Tottenham cruise to a 3-0 win, fueled by Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke goals.

Tottenham delivered a stunning 3-0 victory over 10-man Manchester United at Old Trafford, intensifying pressure on Erik ten Hag.

Spurs dominated from the start, with Brennan Johnson's third-minute strike setting the tone. Micky van de Ven's barnstorming run from his own half created the opportunity.

Despite overwhelming dominance, Spurs only added two more goals. Dejan Kulusevski's deft finish over Andre Onana in the 47th minute and Dominic Solanke's late header sealed the win.

Manchester United's cause was not helped by Bruno Fernandes's red card three minutes before halftime for a lunge at James Maddison.

United's display was tactically bankrupt and wildly indisciplined, with only goalkeeper Onana emerging with credit for fine saves from Timo Werner and Solanke.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou praised his team's complete performance, their finest since the early months of his reign.

“This was a compelling answer to the questions asked about us,” Postecoglou said. “We showed quality, running, and power from the first whistle.”

Erik ten Hag faces renewed scrutiny after this defeat, which leaves United in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

“We were not good enough,” Ten Hag admitted. “We lacked discipline and control. We must improve quickly.”
