Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester United: Five talking points

#3. Son and Moura changed the game for Spurs

Lucas Moura celebrates his goal.

In the first half, Tottenham Hotspur lacked that much-needed sharpness in attack as there were almost no runners off the ball to work with, but the introduction of the South Korean trailblazer Son Heung-Min, who was impressive last season and Moura in the second half brought Spurs back into the game. Son, in particular, was very clever with his movement and he was taking full advantage of United's high-line in defense by making runs in behind.

He did miss a couple of chances but Moura made sure he took the one he got. Although there was some luck about the goal as it deflected off Nemanja Matic and went in, the work from Moura before was phenomenal. Mauricio Pochettino now has the tough task of fitting them both into the starting XI alongside Harry Kane.
