Manchester United v Tottenham LIVE: Premier League newest updates as Bruno Fernandes proven straight purple card

Richard Jolly at Previous Trafford:

“Deserved purple card for Bruno Fernandes – that was a harmful lunge at James Maddison – and an more and more disastrous day for Manchester United, with Kobbie Mainoo hobbling off.”

Van de Ven pounced on a free ball within the Spurs half after Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford misplaced possession, earlier than the Dutch worldwide surged ahead from contained in the midway line.

Van de Ven eased away from Manuel Ugarte and previous compatriot Matthijs de Ligt to achieve the byline earlier than squaring an ideal low cross to the again put up, the place a grinning Johnson was readily available to faucet into the empty web.

Van de Ven beats Garnacho in a foot race down the wing and slide-tackles the ball out of play – that virtually sums up the distinction between the groups.

The half-time whistle goes and boos ring out, be they for Erik ten Hag, his staff or the referee. Could possibly be all three from this house crowd.

United have to be amazed they’re solely a purpose behind. Mount goes straight by Bentancur for no cause and is booked.

They’ve been so, thus far off it on this first half, however Spurs have missed two or three actually respectable openings so as to add to Johnson’s early strike.

A dreadful afternoon will get worse for United who instantly make a change. Mainoo is changed by Mason Mount – though bizarrely Mount doesn’t come on right away and the house staff play on for a number of moments with 9.

They’re down to 10 although and never trying in fine condition at present in any respect.

Bruno Fernandes given a straight purple card!

The United midfielder slipped as he modified course, then lunged right into a knee-high sort out on James Maddison who was skipping away from him.

Little question concerning the determination, he’s far too excessive and never going for the ball in any respect.

Dalot is carded to make it each United full-backs into the e-book, dragging down Kulusevski.

The Swede sees a shot blocked by Mainoo simply after, as Spurs proceed their assault on Onana’s purpose – however no second reward for them but, which can give Ten Hag hope that he can demand a response from his staff on the break.

This sport is sort of a basketball match at occasions, either side searching for passes by gaps from deep to flood ahead, however solely Spurs are doing it with any productive method.

The primary actual second for United – Garnacho batters a volley in opposition to the surface of the put up.

Rashford’s deep cross finds his fellow winger and he units himself, then powers a drive which Vicario may need lined, however strikes the woodwork anyway. A warning for Spurs, after their domination of this primary half.

Then it’s up the opposite finish and it actually ought to be 2-0 as Timo Werner speeds away from the defence – however one-on-one with Onana, he shoots straight on the keeper who saves.

De Ligt has regularly given possession away when making an attempt to play out, however he now blocks Udogie as he once more bursts by and tries to shoot – it’s over for a nook. Spurs proceed urgent for this second purpose – and Romero very almost will get it in spectacular style.

A primary nook is half-cleared, Porro crosses again in and Romero produces a side-on bicycle kick which flies solely a yard vast of the put up.

Mazraoui is then booked for a late slide in on Udogie as United proceed to fail to become familiar with the tempo of their opponents.

Richard Jolly at Previous Trafford:

“A somewhat chastening half-hour for Manchester United who, one Joshua Zirkzee shot aside, haven’t threatened sufficient, whereas trying troubled by Tottenham’s tempo and creativity. Maybe Erik ten Hag’s gameplan is to counter-attack, however Spurs have completed that higher in addition to trying the superior aspect in possession.”
