Premier League

Manchester United beat Tottenham with a overturn

Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling match on Sunday, significantly dampening the hopes of their former coach’s team for a place in the top four in the Premier League.

Fred, Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood with one goal each in the second half completed United’s triumph with the comeback, after Son Heung-Min had given Tottenham the lead initially in London.

After a clear dominance of Mourinho’s team at the start of the match, United thought they enjoyed the lead first, but Cavani’s goal in the 35th minute after an assist by Paul Pogba was overturned by the VAR, for an unauthorized intervention of Tom McTominay in advance.

That changed things and just five minutes later, Son scored for Tottenham’s lead after a super action that started with Harry Kane and ended with an assist by Lucas Moura in the 40th minute.

United did better in the second half and Greenwood’s Cavani completed the comeback by scoring in the final 10 minutes.

This victory almost secures United a place in the top four seven games before the end of the championship.

The Red Devils are in second place with 63 points, seven more than Leicester in third place and nine more than Chelsea in fifth place.

Tottenham, meanwhile, remain in seventh place with 49 points, six points away from fourth place, West Ham.
