Tottenham Hotspur ran riot in Manchester on Sunday afternoon as the Lilywhites cruised to a 3-0 win over Manchester United.

Micky van de Ven provided an outrageous assist to open the scoring as he intercepted a pass on the halfway line and drove through United’s team to flash a ball across the box for Brennan Johnson to tap home.

Dejan Kulusevski doubled Spurs’ lead just after the break with a great finish over Andre Onana and Dominic Solanke later put the game to bed with a third.

One Tottenham player didn’t get his name on the scoresheet, however, his performance did not go unnoticed by the fans and players.
