Premier League: Manchester United 1-0 Tottenham- Late Martial winner earns United all three points
Earlier on in the game Lukaku had headed the ball on to the post, the game looked to be heading for a stalemate however Lukaku flicked the balls on with his head to set Martial through who kept his cool and scored.
Tottenham failed to create many chances and didn’t test the United defence nor De Gea. United had a couple of couple of chances in the first half of the game, Rashford’s low free kick was saved superbly by Hugo Lloris.
Spurs were desperately missing their talisman Kane as both Son and substitute Llorente failed to make an impact. Next up for United in the league is a tough away fixture to Chelsea.
