Tottenham Hotspur extended their winning streak with a narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. James Maddison scored the only goal of the game, securing a crucial win for Spurs that propelled them up to 12th place in the table.
The match was tighter than expected, but Tottenham’s welcome return of five injured players gave them the boost they needed. Guglielmo Vicario started in goal, and James Maddison returned to midfield after a week of rest. The team showed significant improvement with key players back from injury, and Ange Postecoglou finally had some real options off the bench.
Mathys Tel played more comfortably when shifted centrally alongside Son, making some nice runs into space and having good shots on goal. Djed Spence had an impressive game, keeping Mazraoui in check and gliding behind United’s lines. The team’s midfield duo of Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall dominated the center of the pitch.
The difference between the two teams’ midfields was striking, with Spurs passing and moving straight through the center. The match saw some impressive performances from Tottenham’s substitutes, including Sarr, Odobert, Johnson, and Bissouma.
This win marked Tottenham’s first victory in a one-goal margin this season, snapping an 0-12 streak. With the team now level on points with Crystal Palace and Everton at 12th place, the win feels like a significant boost to their season.
