105 days that Tottenham had no longer won at home in the Premier League. An eternity, and one wondered even by what means Ange Postcoglou had been able to keep his post until today. This question, the Australian also had to ask him in recent weeks when he witnessed the slaps inflicted on his team, and that he faced an insoluble problem. It should be less the case tomorrow morning when he wakes up with the satisfaction of having beaten Manchester United, at home (1-0). This success is of course his own, but also and above all that of his porter Vicario, insurmountable, and his players, who left for him in character.
In the beginning of a rather alive and rhythmic meeting, the Spurs nevertheless conceded the first situations. Hojlund, found in depth by Maguire, stared at Davies before brutally arm a strike repelled by a vicario already on the alert (10th). As an extension, the Italian worked once again to score Garnacho, and was finally saved by a clearance of Davies, with a cookie cutter, on a center of Dalot. The first situations were therefore Mancunian, but the first goal was London. He was Maddison's work, perhaps the best player of his team this season until his injury.
A first home victory in the league for 105 days
The English international would flare up the bad dismissal of Onana on a strike from Bergvall at 16 meters, and only had to push the ball to the bottom of the nets (13th, 1-0). Opposite, Amorim could at least be satisfied with the character of his players, if not being able to celebrate a goal. Zirkzee was very close to finding the frame after having fun with Bergvall (21st), when Garnacho was caviard a gold action, when he had plenty of time to adjust Vicario Face-to-face (22nd). On the Spurs side, Mathys Tel was more affected by the bad luck, than by grace.
The Frenchman first saw the goal refusing to him, the fault of a vigilant onana (26th). Upon returning from the locker room, he galled a porro center (48th), then was at the end of the race to properly take over a center of Spence, executioner of Mazraoui on the action (52nd). This second period offered us its share of dangers and uncertainties on both sides, but the gateways returned the hot potato. Vicario maintained his team afloat in front of Garnacho (54th, 58th), when onana frustrated Kulusevski (79th), and especially Mathys Tel, active but not very productive in the last gesture (77th, 81st, 84th). Tottenham will be satisfied this time, since this duel of patients will have turned to their advantage. Spurs are 12th. Manchester United is a very disturbing 15th place.
