Pape Matar Sarr scored early in the second half and Lisandro Martinez added an own goal to give Tottenham a 2-0 win over Manchester United in the English Premier League on Saturday.
It was just the kind of result manager Ange Postecoglou needed in his first home game to build a sense of belief as the club — and the fan base — move on from the departure of Kane to Bayern Munich.
The game had been wide open in the first half and the goal turned up the tempo even more, with chances flowing at both ends. The goalkeeper made another save to deny Bruno Fernandes, and Son Heung-min had a shot blocked at the other end after a well-worked passing move by Spurs.Substitute Ivan Perisic sent a low cross into the area toward Ben Davies, who couldn't make clean contact as he tried to send a shot on goal, but the ball instead deflected in off Martinez.
Coming off an unimpressive 1-0 win over Wolverhampton in the opening round, when Erik ten Hag's team was largely outplayed at Old Trafford, this was a role reversal for United. The visitors largely bossed the first 30 minutes but struggled to properly test Vicario in the Tottenham goal, with Marcus Rashford drawing a good save and Fernandes missing a wide-open header in front of goal.
