0’: United kick off

1’: PENALTY Sanchez catches Martial

2’: GOAAAL Fernandes tucks in from the spot. Lloris even a yard off his line was wrong footed

4’: GOAAAAAAAL Calamitous defending from Shaw and Maguire allows Ndombele to tuck in from 3 yards. Incredible start to the game.

7’: GOAAAAAAAAAL Incredible from Son and Kane again. Kane takes a quick free kick to play Son in. His dinked finish leaves Shaw and De Gea on the floor.

19’: Rashford runs through on goal and hits the post. Fortunately for Spurs he was offside so it wouldn’t have counted anyway.

24’: CLOSE Son is played through on goal but his poor touch takes the ball through to De Gea.

26’: CLOSE Kane plays Aurier in on goal. His shot is straight at the keeper.

27’: CLOSE Lamela gets a shot in from 6 yards but Bailly’s superb block forces a corner.

28’: CLOSE AGAIN! Incredible defending from Bailly prevents another Ndombele goal.

28’: RED CARD Martial is sent off for a hand in the face of Lamela. VAR will review this. A replay shows Lamela also moved his arm to Martial’s face. Controversial?

30’: GOAAAAAAL Kane this time gets an assist from Son. Questionable defending allows him to tap in from 8 yards.

37’: GOAAAAL Son is just too good in front of goal. He latches on to Aurier’s pass to nutmeg the keeper.

45+1’: CLOSE Kane heads wide from 6 yards following a corner.

HALF TIME Controversy as Martial is sent off but Lamela escapes punishment for their scuffle in the box. Aside from that Spurs have been superb. But for some brilliant Bailly defending and a poor touch from Son it could have been worse for Utd.

45’: Two subs for United: Fernandes and Matic come off and McTominay and Fred come on. Lucas Moura replaces Lamela

50’: GOAAAAAAAAAAL Brilliant through ball from Hojbjerg puts Aurier through on goal. His finish beats De Gea at the far post.

63’: Bailly is shown a yellow card for intentionally scraping his studs down Son’s Achilles. A VAR check says it’s just a yellow.

66’: Van de Beek replaces Greenwood.

69’: Alli replaces Ndombele.

70’: CLOSE Kane is played in by Son but De Gea turns it wide. Great save.

71’: Son is replaced by Davies.

76’: PENALTY Pogba’s sliding tackle keeps going to catch the spurs attacker.

78’: GOAAAAL Kane’s powerful penalty gave De Gea no chance.

83’: Shaw is shown a yellow card for a terrible tackle. He made no attempt to play the ball.
