Tottenham Hotspur showcased a stellar performance as they triumphed 3-0 against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. From the opening whistle, Spurs demonstrated their attacking prowess, with Micky van de Ven orchestrating a brilliant counterattack just three minutes into the match. The Dutch international sped past the United midfield and defense to deliver a pristine pass to Brennan Johnson, who tapped in the game's first goal at the back post.

Despite early dominance, Spurs faced moments of tension, with forwards like Timo Werner and Brennan Johnson missing crucial chances that could have widened their lead. Manchester United began to assert pressure after the 20th minute, with a notable opportunity from Alejandro Garnacho, who struck the post. The most threatening moment for Spurs came when Joshua Zirkzee's first-time shot was expertly saved by Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who kept the ball firmly under control.

The match took a significant turn when Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was shown a straight red card for a challenge on James Maddison. While some pundits felt the decision was harsh, the referee remained resolute, leaving United to play the remainder of the match with ten men. Spurs capitalized on their numerical advantage swiftly after the restart. Dejan Kulusevski netted the second goal, finishing a move initiated by Dominic Solanke’s header and extended by Brennan Johnson's dribbling and pinpoint pass.

Manchester United made several attempts to get back into the game, but Spurs' defense held firm. The victory was sealed in the 77th minute when Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou made three strategic substitutions. From a well-placed corner by Lucas Bergvall, Pape Sarr flicked the ball into the path of Dominic Solanke, who lunged to score the third and final goal.

This triumph marks Tottenham’s third win in their last seven visits to Old Trafford, a venue that no longer seems an impenetrable fortress. Ange Postecoglou has now garnered more points from his first three league matches against Manchester United than any other Tottenham manager in Premier League history. Spurs have found their rhythm, with Dejan Kulusevski excelling in his free role in midfield, Brennan Johnson rediscovering his scoring touch, and Dominic Solanke pressing effectively while adding to the team's goal tally.

With this victory, Tottenham extends their winning streak to four consecutive matches in all competitions, reflecting a strong response to an initially shaky season start.
