Manchester United battled back so as to gain revenge on the Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester United took the avenge by hitting for the six earlier this season by Tottenham to Spurs by dealing a body blow of the Premier League finish of the top-four with a win of 3-1 on Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Manchester United came from behind in the league to win for the last time this season as the second-half goals from Edinson Cavani, Fred and Mason Greenwood cancelled out the opener of Son Heung-min’s.
United’s slim title hopes were kept alive by cutting a specific gap on Manchester City’s local rivals to eleven points with one game in hand for the men of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to come. Even if they were not able to manage the reel in City in the ultimate seven games of the campaign, a nine-point cushion was opened by the United over the 5th placed Chelsea in a battle in Champions league’s next season.
There were hopes in Tottenham for a return to the premier club competition of Europe that is dwindling as fast they are now on the six points adrift in fourth of West Ham and could eventually slip to the eighth if there is win at Brighton by Everton on this Monday.
According to Jose Mourinho, he explained that there would be the same coach but different players when he was quizzed for the last. He was quizzed why his side blew perpetually leads compared to all the ruthless teams that he has managed during the past days.
Tottenham made a loss of eighteen points from the winning positions this season in the premier league. The last time when they came all the way from behind to make a win in the league was when United was thrashed by 6-1 in October at the Old Trafford. By contrast, United, after falling behind, 28 points were picked, although it only did so at this time after having a goal controversially being ruled out.
Cavani and Paul Pogba combined fantastically for the Uruguayan for drilling the ball low between Hugo Lloris legs. At the same time, the goal was still ruled out after a review of the VAR by the referee Chris Kavanagh for the reason of a foul on Son by Scott McTominay during the build-up.
The Scottish International made minimal contact with the face of the Son because he crammed aside South Korea. There was a claim by Tottenham for the double punishment that was deliberately ignored by Kavanagh when McTominay escaped without even showing a second yellow card.
After four minutes, the United’s fury was compounded when Son bounced back up to give Tottenham a lead.
