Tottenham secured their first three points of the 2023/24 Premier League season with a 2-0 win over Manchester United on Saturday. A minor deflection saw the ball bounce towards the back post, where a thankful Sarr was on hand to open his account for Tottenham. United then struggled to hit back, with Tottenham putting the game to bed with minutes to spare after Martinez’ miscued clearance trickled into the back of the net. Erik ten Hag will have plenty to think about following the display, whereas Ange Postecoglou will struggle to whittle down the positives. Postecoglou may have stumbled across the perfect pivot to allow James Maddison to thrive as well.
