TOTTENHAM FALL FOR OLE’S PLAN... HOOK, LINE AND SINKER

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER laid a tactical trap for Tottenham — and they fell into it as United snatched the winner…

1 THE INTERCEPTION

Solskjaer tasked Lingard with hassling Winks. It meant that when Trippier played a poor pass inside to Winks, Lingard was lying in wait to intercept.

2 THE WONDER PASS

With Spurs’ full backs committed up the pitch, United knew there was space to exploit but had to act fast. Pogba collected the ball and Rashford started sprinting. Pogba only needed two touches before playing a pinpoint pass to the striker.

3 THE COOL FINISH

Solskjaer was a lethal goalscorer in his day and Rashford has clearly been soaking up everything his new boss has been telling him. Rashford found the bottom corner with all the confidence of a top finisher.
