A second-half strike from Pape Sarr and a Lisandro Martinez own goal gave Ange Postecoglou a first win.
ANGE POSTECOGLOU OVERSAW a thrilling first win as Tottenham manager as Pape Sarr’s strike and a Lisandro Martinez own goal settled a pulsating Premier League clash with Manchester United.
United were aggrieved not to have been awarded a penalty after the VAR reviewed a Cristian Romero handball in a half that saw Marcus Rashford and, in particular, Bruno Fernandes waste good chances. The home fans – a number of whom had protested about ticket prices before the match – had to hold on tight during a bright United start.
Another let-off soon followed. Smart play ended with Luke Shaw’s cracking first-time cross putting Fernandes behind, only for the unopposed skipper to head well off target from six yards.
