Fred, Bruno Fernandes Scores As Manchester United Beat Tottenham 2-0

Goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes secured a win for Manchester United as they beat Tottenham 2-0 at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Antonio Conte’s men had got off to Tottenham’s best ever start to a Premier League season with just one defeat in 10 games.

However, the Italian’s conservative tactics have raised concerns despite the positive results and Conte was finally made to pay on a night when United clicked.

Ten Hag had bemoaned his side’s lack of killer instinct in scoring only once in home games against Omonia Nicosia and Newcastle over the past week.

With Cristiano Ronaldo again left on the bench, it looked like United may again fail to turn their fine approach play into goals as they had 19 shots on goal in the first 45 minutes without reward.

Antony was inches away from a fourth goal in five Premier League games as the Brazilian’s strike clipped the outside of the post.

Lloris then produced a hat-trick of brilliant stops in a matter of minutes to keep out Marcus Rashford’s low drive, Fernandes’ free-kick and Luke Shaw’s powerful volley.

Victory would have taken Spurs to within one point of leaders Arsenal, but even falling behind could not jolt a response out of Conte’s men.
