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
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.
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

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.
