#5 Man Utd vs Spurs - a tale of the second half

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Lucas Moura starred as Tottenham beat Manchester United 0-3 at Old Trafford

In the clash between the heavyweights, Tottenham added salt into the wounds of Manchester United as they beat them 0-3 at Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho and his men were under a lot of pressure after their defeat at Brighton last week.

They started the game brightly, and were dominating Tottenham, although they were lucky to not concede a penalty when Jones brought down Moura in the box. They looked dangerous, and were unlucky not to open the scoring.

But the second half was a different tale as Tottenham took charge of the game. Goals from Harry Kane in the 50th minute, and Lucas Moura in the 52nd minute gave them a 2-0 lead.

United grew back into the game and took control of the possession once again, but failed to stop Moura in the 84th minute as he made the scoreline 3-0. In the end, despite having 58 percent of the possession and 23 shots, Man Utd lost terribly.
