Rapid Eriksen goal inspires Spurs to victory over Manchester United

“Champions League is arriving and lots of tough matches to play and probably we are going to lose for a few weeks”.

Tottenham, who beat United on Wednesday night, are two places further back and still in with a shout of finishing second.

Christian Eriksen had put Spurs ahead inside 15 seconds, capitalising on uncharacteristically poor defending by United to lace the home side into a lead with the quickest goal of the season.

Manchester United finally lost their first game of 2018 and it was against Tottenham, who are undefeated against the Devils at home for three seasons running now.

“We’re doing better than last season and it’s very important for us to do better than last season”, he added. “We have Arsenal, United, Tottenham and Chelsea”.

Despite a positive opening 10 minute spell after the goal, United became progressively worse. However, in the reverse fixture, the Terriers produced one of the biggest shocks of the season by claiming a 2-1 win over United.

And Mata has warned his team-mates not to underestimate David Wagner’s side even though the Terriers are winless in seven league games. “To concede a goal like that is not normal”.

Mourinho offered an update on the injured Marouane Fellaini, Eric Bailly and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Striker Elias Kachunga is still out with a knee ligament injury, whilst defender Jon Gorenc Stankovic is still short of fitness following his return from a long-term knee problem. I bet they were very angry about that and I suspect they thought actually let’s walk away from this deal leaving Manchester United to sweep him up.

“After that we have to go to Stoke City, Goodison Park”.

“It feels a bit weird to score from your first touch”, Eriksen said after Tottenham’s 2-0 victory.

Manchester United had an evening to forget at Wembley Stadium last night and it only took 11 seconds for the wheels to fly off.

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was rarely troubled by one of the league’s most-expensively assembled teams, with only one save of significance required to block a shot from Romelu Lukaku.

For the visitors, both Laurent Depoitre and Steve Mounie are both available at 11/2 odds at Bet365.

Tottenham can not afford complacency to creep in following a nine game unbeaten streak across all competitions, their place in the top four relies on it.
