Look elsewhere, who this time was not even on the bench Dávinson Sánchez: Tottenham lost at home 1-3 against Manchester United, a fatal result for his aspiration to get into European places.
Mourinho’s team saw their powerful opponents overtake them, who rose from a controversy with the VAR and a goal against and strengthened in second place in the Premier League (still 11 points behind). of M. City), while the head of the house was parked in seventh place, 6 points from the quota in Champions and 5 from the quota in Europa League. They will not be able to blame the Colombian Dávinson Sánchez, who was not even taken to the bench …
The game opened with a clear option from United, when Cavani and Rashford came together and the latter failed, against a prudent Tottenham, with two approaches, not so many options, from Son. It was his need, both locally and urgently at the table, but it was the match that Mourinho wanted in the first stage, with more fouls than anything else.
And at 34, total bewilderment: Solksjaer and, more than anything, Cavani, opened their arms without understanding anything. It canceled out a beautiful play, an impeccable start by Pogba, a vivacity of the Uruguayan and a cross definition, goal action with the seal of the United, which in the end was not courtesy of the VAR, who found at first a foul on the least debatable, a slap from McTominay to Son in a struggle that seemed normal, and from then on everything was canceled.
He wanted destiny to be the Korean himself, at 39, who took advantage of the impotence of the rival, in a genius of Kane (one of many) to open the way to Lucas Moura and he, in another great decision, went make the change of front for Son, who came only for the 1-0.
Cavani was awarded a yellow card for a foul on Rodon, a show of contained fury that put an end to the first episode.
And it sold a complement with two teams really determined to play football, not to lose. And this is always happy news! Cavani cheered first on a shot that demanded Lloris, just the prelude to the tie, which was a service from the Uruguayan to Brazilian Fred, a lethal play that marked the 1-1.
And Tottenham woke up when Mourinho applauded on the line and wanted Kane in a great play that was rejected by Henderson and United knew it was a matter of insistence, as Bruno did with a superb cross shot that scratched Lloris, and wait with patience to the prize that would arrive for man 10 of the party, the good Edinson: to the 79 the play of the Portuguese was born and the born one in Salt was sent of ‘popcorn’ for the 2-1 that celebrated with angry and with a warm hug from his teammates, one who seemed to be screaming, stay!
He lost to the Chilean Aurier when 10 were left for the end and Kane crashed into the post at 83 and entered the court ((why!) Gareth Bale and went home against the ‘arch rival, but there was no longer any luck. Instead Greenwood, who recently appeared, scored a goal in the 95th, after a genius in Pogba’s assist for the final 1-3.
All bad for the ‘Spurs’, who knew they could lose against the second best in the Premier, but not so bad, with so much insecurity in the reaction, with so much pain.
