Tottenham Hotspur players are on cloud nine after beating Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
Old Trafford hasn’t exactly been a happy hunting ground for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League era.
Ange Postecoglou has though managed to add himself to the list of Tottenham managers to win at Old Trafford.
The Spurs boss saw his side produce a superb performance on Sunday afternoon, beating United 3-0 in style.
Brennan Johnson opened the scoring, tapping him from close range after a sensational run from Micky van de Ven.
Dejan Kulusevski was superb and scored the second before Dominic Solanke added number three late in the day.
Dominic Solanke sends Instagram message to Tottenham Hotspur fans
After taking just one point from two away games to start the season, Tottenham will be delighted to be off the mark on the road.
This was a superb performance and the kind of statement win Postecoglou wanted and, in the eyes of some, needed.
Tottenham were relentless from the word go and seeing striker Solanke on the scoresheet again really was the icing on the cake.
Solanke took to Instagram after the game to send a message to Tottenham fans, stating ‘big result today, let’s keep this momentum’.
The former Bournemouth striker received messages from teammates with Micky van de Ven simply calling him ‘top’.
Cristian Romero shared a similar message whilst Pedro Porro stated ‘what a player’ as he marvelled at the Spurs striker.
James Maddison called Solanke ‘inevitable’ but feels that he should have had two goals, having fired straight at Andre Onana when played in on goal by Porro.
Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott – a boyhood Tottenham fan – added ‘it’s just superb’ as he watches his former teammate shine for Spurs.

Solanke really up and running for Tottenham now
Tottenham paid big money for Solanke over the summer, striking a deal which could rise to £65million.
Some were doubting Solanke after a mixed debut against Leicester City with reviews not exactly complimentary.
Solanke then picked up an injury and returned against Arsenal with a decent display but failed to score.
Pundits were putting pressure on Solanke to get going in front of goal and that has certainly happened now.
The 27-year-old has now hit three goals in his last three games across all competitions, scoring against Brentford, Qarabag and Manchester United.
This is the kind of form Tottenham want to see from Solanke and it’s clear that his teammates love what he is offering in the Spurs attack right now.
