Tottenham Hotspur fell to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday.

Spurs went into the game on the back of a 1-0 win over Burnley in midweek which put them into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

Tottenham were eager to get back to winning ways in the league following defeat to West Ham last week.

Likewise, the Red Devils were desperate to bounce back from their 5-0 humiliation against Liverpool six days ago.

United scored the opening goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 39 minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo volleying home.

Spurs should have levelled things up within three minutes of the restart, but Son Heung-min curled wide of the target.

The Red Devils had the ball lin the back of the net seconds later, but Ronaldo was adjudged to have strayed offside.

Spurs were lacklustre thereafter as they conceded a second in the 64th minute.

Edinson Cavani dinked a neat finish over the on-rushing Hugo Lloris following a superb Ronaldo through-ball.

United then added a third with four minutes to go, Marcus Rashford with a composed finish to add to Tottenham’s woes.

And Gary Lineker wasn’t impressed in the slightest with his former side:

Spurs finish the day eighth in the table with 15 points from 10 games.

Up next for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side is Vitesse at home in the Europa Conference League on Thursday at 8pm.

Spurs then to Everton in the Premier League on Sunday at 2pm.
