Tottenham v. Manchester United | PREMIER LEAGUE HIGHLIGHTS | 4/11/2021 | NBC Sports

well he's made three changes and two of those coming to the back four and no surprise there really after the way they've been defending eric dier comes in for davos and sanchez there's another central defender right back has changed as well tangunga is out search arya comes into that position the same two holding players in dumbley and hoybear and as you look at the front four there human sun is the other change comes in for vinicius and it might be the system in the last few games has been this one given man united you might see human son number seven come back onto the left side and put more players in midfield but i'd like to see jose try and get in the front four and play this kind of unusual 4-4-2 shape manchester united tim looked like this a big call in goal for soul shard picking henderson over deja henderson has three clean sheets in the seven games this season really settled and competent back for shaw maguire lindelof wambasaka probably there's probably their strongest midfield diamond when you look at fred at the base pogba tilted to the left dominate to the right and then of course fernandez 27 goal involvements in 30 games this season up front rashford and cavani 16 goals between them well october feels like an eternity ago but these sides fortunes have trended in opposite direction since tottenham's 6-1 win at old trafford united have lost just two of 27 games in all competitions since that mauling and the victory here would put nine points between themselves and fifth place it would also lead tottenham six points outside the top four with games beginning to run out bruno fernandez dropping a little deeper to see possession pogba's header is a good one here's rashford off the pass from cavani it's an excellent sliding intervention by eric dyer united's best spell of the game so far they've got a corner well again pogba off that left hand side there he is in between the full back and eric daryl dary in the end does a brilliant job to get over and put a block on but it was all created by the nuisance it was paul pogba at that far post nodding it back and cavani beautiful little touch in the path and well done eric dier tidy play from united mctominay has left son on the floor clutching his face cavani one nil well there's a hint of controversy about it killmonson is still down on the ground tottenham players have surrounded the referee but cavani is on side and has given for the time being at least manchester united a one-nil lead well there's a couple of things to look at here i think tommy just pushed his arm out to hold son off and caught him in the face no doubt about that whether the referee sees this as a foul that just go because son's arm comes in he flicks his arm out catches him in the face there a referee look at that say is that a foul was it intentional does it have to be intentional no it doesn't but then the but the run from cavani just standing still there goes just there rodol plays him on side it's a brilliant finish diagonal run straight ball from pogba through the legs what a finish since the arm of son comes out to try and grab a little bit of mctomin and he just flicks his arm out it's a natural thing for him to do to actually try and flick son's arm away from him the fact that he catches him in his face looks like he's going to overruled it free kick [Applause] well the best case scenario there was united lead one nil the worst case scenario is it's nil nil and mctominay gets a second yellow i don't think that's going to happen cavani who had gone six without a goal sees that chalked off the celso [Applause] kane lovely ball lucas son back pose one nil it's a beautifully crafted goal by tottenham hotspur salty was involved in the disallow goal for manchester united returns to the side left-footed finish oligarch cannot believe it instead of his side being one they're locked they're one-nil down top and one manchester united nil well son wanted the first one when the ball comes to harry kane he wants him to over it because he's in wambasaka has gone narrow there he just lets it go he's in but maura sees him already he knows that the ball comes to him the angle is quite tight i'll just lay it into the path and he does so beautifully and son has the know-how just to wait he doesn't have to get ahead of the ball and be offside he just waits for it and it's actually a really good finish because henderson's made good travel across his box and he nearly gets there but it's a brilliant goal from tottenham it really is superb football one nil down no no one nil up what a turnaround here at the tottenham hotspur stadium fernandez was away good job he misses that total he cooks in he's in the box big danger flick by fred pogba in the penalty it's an important header [Applause] ping that gave it to halt pogba's momentum [Applause] were allowed to go to the byline [Applause] mctominay could save by laurice and then regulon was just a little quicker in reacting to the rebound than marcus rashford just look at mctoming there just waiting into the box go on set me up he got his feet right just limits the risk if you catch it you can slip through the hands go into the net maybe maurice has got well i won't disagree with tim howard obviously yeah elise has got history fred through to cavani flex stays down come on another great save but the rebound is poked in by fred well that's a collector's item for manchester united [Applause] september 2017 was the last time fred scored in the premier league and he's done it here at the tottenham hotspur stadium the quickest to the rebound maurice made the initial save and it's 1-1 well i was just saying about laurie scott history about palming things to out from saves i'm not sure he's on side cavani he gets his shots away he gets a hand on it and it goes straight back out to fred there's fred setting the move up just keeps running straight down the middle little ball in brilliant follows his party and he can't miss from there when i look at that save from laurisse i can be critical but i won't be i'll let tim howard do that full time it's a reaction save he just throws a blue glory of it glove at it and it pops straight to the feet of fred aurier really really good game here lucas into the penalty area still there son at the back post right footage saved by henderson regular won the ball back on the edge of the penalty area he thinks he was fouled as well united looking to counter attack and the challenge came in from joyvier body right harlow it is a good game now henderson really good save because that's close to him right in between already does brilliantly well lindelof gets a challenge in and then son of man manages to get his shots away through the legs of juan basaka so he sees it late in that right foot long before he's uh packed up in ice again [Music] does well here's bruno fernandez he's got rashford ahead of him and under this is going to take a shot he does so excellent save by laurice that was heading for the corner no doubt about it great goalkeeping manchester united have a corner now that's a good save tim fernandez just uses rashford goes to look as if he's gonna slip it down and then just gets his left foot shot away it's got dip on it just before the goalkeeper it's a really really top save but it bounced just almost under these gloves just gets enough of that change the corner kick take up bruno's over there kills it out mctominay with a header and it's cleared on the edge of the six yard box harry kane put his foot through that one lovely turn by luke shaw they're waving for it at the back post what a ball fernandez pogba surely back flick doesn't work that was blocks luke shaw with a sensational through ball with the outside of his left boot and then the foul and he's going to get a yellow card tottenham on the break this ball fernandez and then i'm thinking overhead kick back heel tries the back heel maybe he could have just swiveled with his right foot and volleyed that into the net trying to be a little bit too just got dire got his foot on it edge of the area is lucas here's hoibier son cain wanted in that channel gets it cuts it back and he went to the near post excellent save by dean henderson a lot of the united defenders were looking at lucas and and don't play on the edge of the six yard box tell you all that's a good save let's watch harry kane he brings it on his right foot goalkeeper's got to go start to come over just goes to his near post keeps his eye on it see harry kane just puts it on his right foot there and then whips it back gives him the eyes near post good save son with the corner [Applause] almost turned in by serge aurier oh it's just so soco gets something on it it just hits a couple of players and bounces up and orie just gets too much on it actually in the upside position plenty of time for a winner for either side lindelof lovely touch by fernandez cavani what a goal by edinson cavani beautiful touch by bruno fernandez cavani denied in the first half by var may have scored the winning goal with just about 10 minutes to go here at the tottenham hotspur stadium united have turned it around they lead tottenham by two goals to one well we often talk about a bit of brilliance to win a game or to get a team ahead and this is both of that the quality there and that right in front of the goals you might say an easy header it's not he's in the right place he's waiting for it [Music] and the bit of skill the ball in from greenwood is just absolutely fantastic cavani stay between the posts good center forwards that's what they do and they win games that's why you pay him the big bucks [Applause] well what a turnaround for edinson cavani he would have been hugely deflated after that terrific goal was chalked off headed to the near post heads go well back poses off the boat chats still not clear son has completely sliced an effort with his right foot the ball gets whipped into that area and just look at him does that absolutely brilliantly well to get his head on it before suzuka because that's the tapping suzuka thinks goal and he just gets his forehead on it outside the post what's a save here at both ends into the near post and a falls to fred now here's pogba for this skill now he's going to get past dire chance here for united greenwood on his right foot mason greenwood brilliant just brilliant by mason greenwood and manchester united they've roared back in this second half and they're heading nine points clear of fifth second goal in a week for mason greenwood they've been terrific here in north london and they'll go 23 unbeaten on the road they lead 3-1 well this is what he does if he just watches movement of the ball he knows he's in space but when he gets it pogba does brilliantly well he keeps himself narrow then he goes outside little step over that creates the space on his right foot and he's the club's best finisher there's only one place this is ending up see how he stays narrow and then that creates the space outside of him and the little dink regal on no chance and he gets beat at the near post lauries but it was the pace on the ball that beat him he's only seven yards out keepers no chance there's a saying in football there's always another chance but manchester united have closed the door here on tottenham hotspur in stoppage time and they've added a third they're unbeaten away in 23 in the premier league once again manchester united come from a goal behind to win they're nine points ahead of fifth place tottenham lose for the tenth time in the league this season and they relinquish yet another lead their seventh six points outside the top four west ham moved into that today united second they've still got a game in hand over manchester city the title race is over though isn't it who knows great performance by united hi there i'm rebecca lowe make sure you
