    Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim said his job is "so hard" after defeat at Tottenham left his side 15th in the Premier League.

    The Portuguese coach oversaw an eighth loss in 12 league games as James Maddison's 13th-minute goal gave Spurs victory.

    The Red Devils once again struggled, although Amorim is having to contend with a 12-man injury list that led to him having to fill his bench with youngsters.

    Amorim, 40, has provided a number of honest post-match news conferences since joining United and was once again in trademark form on Sunday.

    "I have a lot of problems," he told Sky Sports. "My job is so hard but I am here to continue my job to the next week with my beliefs and I will try to win again."

    Despite his side being behind for more than 70 minutes, Amorim did not make a change until the first minute of stoppage time, when he brought on 17-year-old Chido Obi.

    James Maddison says he is doing his "talking on the pitch" in response to the critics who questioned him before he scored the winner as Tottenham beat Manchester United on Sunday.

    Maddison was the only player following in after United keeper Andre Onana parried Lucas Bergvall's shot, allowing him to complete an easy tap-in to score the match's only goal.

    He marked the strike with both a talking and shushing gesture celebration.

    And after the match, without naming any individual critics, he told Sky Sports: "There was a little bit of outside noise this week.

    "People will have their opinions, but I wanted to do my talking on the pitch. I hope there is a certain few that enjoyed me being the match-winner today."

    This week, former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane said on The Overlap podcast that Maddison "got relegated with Leicester and he'll get relegated with Spurs".

    Keane also stressed that Maddison was a "talented player", but said those who thought his return would help Spurs break into the top six "were in cuckoo land".

  5. Liverpool hold on to beat Wolves and hold seven-point leadpublished at 07:11 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February

    Mohamed Salah continued his hot scoring streak as a nervy Liverpool dispatched Wolves to move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League.

    The Egypt forward converted from the penalty spot to make it five goals in four league games.

    Putting Everton's 98th-minute mid-week equaliser behind them, the Reds started well at Anfield and opened the scoring after 15 minutes thanks to the determination of Luis Diaz.

    The Colombia forward ended a run of 10 games without a goal as he bundled the ball over the line after Salah's pass was deflected in the box by Wolves defender Toti Gomes.

    Twenty two minutes later, referee Simon Hooper pointed to the spot as Diaz was felled in the box by Wolves keeper Jose Sa and Salah slotted down the middle for his 23rd league goal of the campaign.

    The game looked set to be a routine Liverpool win at the break but Wolves striker Matheus Cunha made it anything but as he beautifully curled home his 12th league goal of the season in the 67th minute - meaning Slot's side are without a home clean sheet since 1 December.

    James Maddison scored the winner on his return from injury as Tottenham beat fellow Premier League strugglers Manchester United.

    Maddison, who has missed nearly four weeks with a calf injury, was the only player following in after United keeper Andre Onana parried Lucas Bergvall's shot and completed an easy tap-in in the 13th minute.

    The visitors did have chances to level, with Alejandro Garnacho lofting an effort over the bar when through on goal in the first half - but this was ultimately another uninspired United display.

    Tottenham earned their first win in three games - after cup losses to Liverpool and Aston Villa - and victory will ease some of the pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou. They are now 12th in the table, moving above United.

    Ruben Amorim's injury-hit Red Devils, meanwhile, have lost three of their past four league games and drop to 15th - 12 points clear of the relegation zone.

    Before the match more than 1,000 Tottenham supporters attended a protest against the club's ownership and chairman Daniel Levy.
