    Bissouma has been a different class today.

    Under the previous managers, none of them wanted to play him. Today he has shown his technical quality, lacking in the finish though.

    But last week and this week he has been outstanding.

    All Tottenham right now as some of Manchester United's players appear to have forgotten how to tackle. Yves Bissouma is allowed to waltz his way into the box but he then sweeps his shot just wide.

    This manager has turned Tottenham into the Harlem Globe Trotters!

    They're fantastic to watch, plenty of imagination and quick play.

    Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Crucial, crucial block by Luke Shaw as Son Heung-min sees off Mason Mount and Lisandro Martínez but Shaw steps in to get his leg in the way of Son's shot from point-blank range.

    Shaw, understandably, was fuming that a tackle wasn't put in earlier.

    The goal has given what this game was missing and the chances keep on coming as now Yves Bissouma fires over.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 58 mins

    Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Guglielmo Vicario is called upon again as he pushes behind Bruno Fernandes' curled effort. The flat then goes up for offside, but Vicario needed to make the save until he was sure it was offside.

    Where's the Tottenham defence?

    They gamble and keep the defensive line high and Varane has a free header in the box.

    Good save from Vicario.

  10. GREAT SAVE!published at 56 mins

    Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Brilliant save by Guglielmo Vicario as he leaps to push over Casemiro's header from a Bruno Fernandes free kick.

    Son Heung-min then deals with the corner. This game has really livened up.

    Well Martinez didn't play the ball did he?

    He looked like he was trying to put his leg across Romero, and there was contact.

    I think Romero may have a case here. The second one on Maddison perhaps not.

  12. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 54 mins

    Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Tottenham fans are screaming for not one but two penalty shouts as Cristian Romero goes down inside the box after being clattered by Lisandro Martínez, before James Maddison tumbles under a challenge seconds later.

    Nothing given for either shouts.

    I like the way Spurs are playing. Yes there is acknowledgment that they could be a bit vulnerable going the other way but they are a front-foot side.

    Ange Postecoglou wants to play a certain way, he had a lot of success with the approach at Celtic, and he hasn't backed off that since coming to the Premier League.

    Jonny: Started the second half playing identically to the Wolves game. Garnacho giving it away, midfield cut apart, Shaw too central. This time they had someone to finish. Utterly predictable.

    Quin: more schoolboy defending by Shaw. The man is still on holidays

    The game is wide open now after that goal and Manchester United almost level immediately as Bruno Fernandes finds Antony, whose curled effort hits the post.

    Great finish on the half volley from Sarr.

    Not an easy chance to put away, could have come off his leg wrong and gone into the crowd, but he got his foot around it well.

    Tottenham have come out really well and taken their chance.

    Pape Matar Sarr

    Tottenham take the lead!

    A good attack down the right by Dejan Kulusevski , who gets into the box and is cross deflects horribly off Lisandro Martínez to Pape Matar Sarr, who volleys home his first goal for the club.

    That's what the game needed.

    James: Man Utd again with the wrong formation, not going to win much with just one up front. Second Mount is looking like another wasteful buy!

    Oliver: So we're still quite bad but we're much less boring, especially without Kane. I guess that's a step in the right direction!

    Peter: Is it possible that both sides are missing Kane?
