A brilliant Spurs ruthlessly exposed United’s weakness at the back and made the most of the space given to them in midfield, re-opening the question of whether Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba can play together for United in a three-man set-up. The lead, however, lasted just two minutes, as Spurs took advantage of hesitant defending from United.Maguire’s poor header went back into his own box and then Luke Shaw was bundled off the ball by Erik Lamela with Tanguy Ndombele firing home the loose ball.
Remarkably Lamela was not also sent off by referee Anthony Taylor, who did not make use of the pitchside monitor to evaluate his decision. Solskjaer made a double switch at the break, taking off Fernandes and Nemanja Matic and bringing on Fred and Scott McTominay but that did little to change the pattern of the game.
