Tottenham Hotspur Manchester United achieved a fantastic comeback victory over Tottenham Hotspur courtesy to a brilliant second-half effort and goals from Fred, Edinson Cavani, and substitute Mason Greenwood, despite having to battle with an extremely contentious and inexplicable decision to deny a first-half goal. The game ended 3-1 to Man United. Tottenham Hotspur started the match well and had several opportunities in the opening minutes, but they were unable to find the back of the net for one reason or another. Then, just before the half-hour mark, Harry Kane found the back of the net after some great work by Davinson Sanchez who played him through on goal. Almost immediately after scoring, Kane was involved in another chance for Spurs when he met Lucas Moura's cross with only the goalkeeper to beat but his effort went wide of its target. In the 44th minute, however, it took a brilliant piece of skill from Fred to give his side the lead for the first time in the match. After being picked out by Christian Eriksen, Fred calmly slotted the ball into the bottom corner to put Spurs ahead. Just three minutes later, though, it all went wrong for Spurs when De Gea made a wonderful save to deny Eric Dier after he was left alone in the box following a poor pass from Ben Davies.
