Manchester United 0, Tottenham 3
Old Trafford, Manchester
MUFC a Religion read a banner in one of Old Trafford sides, with their beloved Red Devils playing their third match of the campaign at home. With last week defeat in the books, Manu was obligated to deliver against an undefeated Tottenham Spurs.
For Jose Mourinho and his Red Devils it does not come easy and looking like a sure candidate to get his bags packed if results are not being as planned on the dot and delivering as the campaign rolls on and the lack of results are not fulfilling this squad aims.
A total clash of titans today in the Theater of Dreams, the lads of Manu played to another powerhouse in the Spurs from London Town looking to bag three points with a valuable away win.
As we were about to presence, another shootout between two masters of the game with the man that has won all sorts of silverware against one that is looking for his first piece to adorn the halls of the new White Hart Lane.
For Poche and company this campaign the skies the limit and looking forward to mount an all-around challenge to the defending champions Manchester City, looking forward to another notable campaign but this time looking forward to deliver with a shield or two.
As the man from Argentina knows, the squad he has and the potential it offers, maybe that was the reason of no picks in the summer transfers market, still this squad with a more mature roster and players determined for anything in this campaign.
Coming to these parts of Manchester is somehow an all-around challenge but one these Lilywhites are for real and looking good somehow in the start of this promising campaign for the London Boys.
With a challenged first half for both squads and highlighted by a defensive showdown with the lads of United making all sorts of attempts to beat the likes of the visiting squad goalkeeper Hugo Lloris who had a foremost evening under the arches defensively.
In addition, of an inspired offensive attack that took the locals by surprise as well exposing one of the weakness they are to address in the next transfers market but until winter to remedy this crisis in their backfield.
As defense wins games, with back-to-back losses for the Red Devils its time for manager Mourinho to pull a miracle from a formation that for sure can deliver for his squad, despite his 3-5-1-1 once again that was not enough to the push of an inspired Lucas Moura.
However opposite in the field Mauricio Pochettino sending an awkward 4- 1- 2- 1- 2 with Harry Kane and the Spurs hero Lucas Moura in the frontal attack, the Brazilian delivering with a double set of game winning scores.
With the visiting, Hotspurs Harry Kane opening the fete in the 50’ minute via a header leaving the likes of United keeper David De Gea not bale to finish the play for the visitors first score. Still this was to be the show of Lucas Moura with a couple of scores in the 52’ and 84’ minutes to seal the deal in the Theater of Dreams.
Not even with Lukaku, Pogba, Lingard, Fred or Herrera along the substitution Mou sent to counter the visitor’s momentum in their game, in the end these exposed an area of much need to work for the Portuguese if he wants to contend for anything in the campaign.
With a notable display of defensive work performed by Vertognhen, Rose, Alderweild and Trippier, and with an offensive game in its all-time high, these Spurs are looking like sure contenders for the league title.
