Spurs fall to Man U

Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho was unable to exact revenge a year after his unceremonious exit from Old Trafford, with Manchester United recording a 2-1 win and earning payback for last season's humiliating home loss to the Spurs. Elsewhere, leagueleader Liverpool on Wednesday put their devastating attack on display in a 5-2 victory over cross-town rival Everton. Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United forward led the way for the Red Devils with two scores, one on a penalty conversion, while Dele Alli tallied one of the goals of the year for the visitors and Spurs keeper Paulo Gazzaniga's outstanding play kept the final score respectable. Tottenham came into the match riding a three-match winning streak, but last season's Champions League runner-up appeared lost on the pitch due in large part to the poor play of midfielders Moussa Sissoko and Harry Winks. The Spurs were somehow tied after a first half dominated by the home team, but the Red Devils went ahead once again via penalty after a clumsy challenge by Sissoko brought down Rashford in the area just after the intermission. With the win, Manchester United got revenge for a 0-3 home loss in August 2018 to Tottenham, one of the low points of Mourinho's two-and-a-half year tenure at Old Trafford. With the win, Liverpool set a new club record by extending their current unbeaten streak in the Premier League to 32 straight matches dating back to last season.
