Tottenham Hotspur produced an exceptional performance on Sunday afternoon, hammering Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford.
Having beaten Qarabag 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night, Tottenham Hotspur were back in Premier League action on Sunday.
Ange Postecoglou took his side to Old Trafford and headed home with all three points after a superb victory.
Brennan Johnson got the ball rolling as he scored from close range after a frankly incredible run from Micky van de Ven.
Dejan Kulusevski was outstanding throughout and scored a deserved second with Dominic Solanke adding number three.
Tottenham were the better side throughout and the sheer brilliance from Postecoglou’s side left fans leaving Old Trafford in their droves before the final whistle even sounded.
Dejan Kulusevski earns praise from Micky van de Ven
Johnson and Solanke getting on the scoresheet again was a major boost but the star of the show was Kulusevski.
The Swede again played in a midfield role and was irresistible against United.
Kulusevski racked up nine key passes against United, the most of any visiting player at Old Trafford since records began in the 2003-04 season.
United just couldn’t live with Kulusevski and he more than deserved his goal, a fine flick beyond the despairing dive of Andre Onana.
Kulusevski took to Instagram after the game to simply state ‘DK tha truth’ as he celebrated his outstanding display at Old Trafford.
Tottenham players responded as Destiny Udogie stated ‘player’ whilst Lucas Bergvall also offered just one word – ‘wow’.
Micky van de Ven called Kulusevski ‘unreal’, with the Dutchman’s verdict no doubt shared by Tottenham fans everywhere.

Kulusevski taking his game to another level
Tottenham fans were blown away when Kulusevski arrived from Juventus back in January 2022.
Kulusevski made an enormous impact in the final third but saw his form dip in the 2022-23 season as the Antonio Conte era imploded.
Some also doubted Kulusevski’s fit as a winger under Postecoglou; Kulusevski has plenty of guile and creativity but doesn’t really have the pace Postecoglou seeks.
That has seen Kulusevski move inside to play as a midfielder this season and his performances have been superb.
Kulusevski feels ‘unstoppable’ in this area of the pitch and he is making himself undroppable this season.
Postecoglou should be delighted with Kulusevski’s development this term and will hope to see more displays like Sunday’s brilliance.
