Tottenham delivered a scintillating performance at Old Trafford, capitalizing on Manchester United's disarray to secure a convincing 3-0 victory. Even without injured star Son Heung-min, Spurs dominated from the outset, with Brennan Johnson's early strike setting the tone.

Johnson's third-minute goal, crafted by Micky van de Ven's powerful run, was the lone reward for Tottenham's first-half supremacy. Despite creating numerous chances, they failed to extend their lead, with Timo Werner squandering a golden opportunity.

United's woes worsened when captain Bruno Fernandes received his marching orders in the 42nd minute for a reckless tackle on James Maddison. However, the Red Devils' struggles predated the red card, with Spurs exploiting their lack of cohesion and discipline.

After the interval, Dejan Kulusevski expertly doubled Tottenham's advantage, and Dominic Solanke's late header sealed the win, reflecting Spurs' commanding display. As the scoreboard reflected the visitors' dominance, United fans streamed out of Old Trafford, leaving Ten Hag's position increasingly precarious.
