In a thrilling match, new Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou celebrated his first home game in charge with a 2-0 victory over Manchester United. The win was thanks to Pape Matar Sarr’s maiden Premier League goal and a late own goal by Lisandro Martinez.
Sarr, the Senegalese player, capitalized on a deflected cross in the 49th minute to score a high shot past André Onana. Martinez sealed United’s fate by deflecting Ben Davies’ scuffed effort into his own net in the 83rd minute.
Despite selling their talisman Harry Kane to Bayern Munich before the season began, Tottenham has made a positive start with four points from their first two games. Meanwhile, United has accumulated three points.
“I would prefer if more of the 39 shots were coming from us. It’s a consequence of the way we play and where we’re at as a group at the moment,” commented Postecoglou. He also expressed his satisfaction with the incredible atmosphere created by the fans.
Tottenham showcased a high-tempo style that has been lacking in previous seasons, pleasing both the fans and their new coach. The team’s goals have come from unlikely sources, including defenders.
The game featured numerous chances for both sides, with Tottenham hitting the woodwork twice in quick succession. However, it wasn’t until after halftime that Sarr’s goal gave Spurs the lead. Martinez’s own goal secured the victory for the home team.
United had opportunities to equalize but failed to capitalize, and Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made several outstanding saves, including one in stoppage time to deny Raphaël Varane’s header. United manager Erik ten Hag expressed his disappointment with his team’s performance.
