Traveling to London, the Red Devils suffered many disadvantages in terms of force when a series of names such as Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo could not play due to injury. Meanwhile, Spurs also showed an unstable form this season, but the return of Guglielmo Vicario and home field advantage still helped the Roosters dominate the visitors.

Tottenham took the lead early in the 13th minute, Lucas Bergvall fired a powerful shot that MU goalkeeper Andre Onana could not hold onto, James Maddison swooped in to shoot from close range to open the score.

After conceding the goal, MU tried to push forward to find an equalizer. A “delicious” opportunity came to them in the 23rd minute when Garnacho received the ball in an open position, facing the opposing goalkeeper but shot high into the sky. Before the first half ended, the home team Tottenham also had their own opportunities but could not take advantage to widen the gap.
