Man United beat Spurs 2–0 LIVE as Fernandes scores late and Romero’s reckless red card proves decisive
Manchester United extended their winning run to four Premier League matches with a 2–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
The contest was finely balanced early on, but everything shifted in the first half when Spurs captain Cristian Romero was dismissed for a reckless challenge on Casemiro. United quickly took advantage of the numerical edge, with Bryan Mbeumo breaking the deadlock soon after the red card.
From that point on, it was an uphill battle for Tottenham. Despite showing resilience and staying competitive for long spells, the visitors struggled to pose a genuine attacking threat with ten men. Bruno Fernandes eventually put the result beyond doubt late in the game, arriving at the back post to finish off a dangerous cross and secure all three points for the hosts.
The statistics unsurprisingly favoured United, largely due to their prolonged spell against ten men, though they had looked the sharper side even before Romero’s dismissal.
Michael Carrick’s side continue to build momentum and are now closing the gap on Aston Villa and Manchester City in the table. Tottenham, meanwhile, remain without a league win in seven matches and face further difficulties with Romero set to miss up to four games through suspension—deepening concerns that Thomas Frank’s team could be dragged into a relegation fight.
That brings an end to proceedings at Old Trafford, where Manchester United’s clinical edge and Tottenham’s ill-discipline proved decisive.
