Tottenham Hotspur Defeat Manchester United 2-0 in Premier League Clash
Spurs Claim Vital Victory to Boost Top-Four Hopes
Goals from Kane and Maguire (OG) Secure Three Points
Tottenham Hotspur secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Manchester United in the Premier League on Wednesday night, boosting their hopes of finishing in the top four this season. The win sees Spurs climb to third in the standings, two points ahead of Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
Harry Kane opened the scoring for Spurs in the 35th minute from the penalty spot after VAR ruled that Lisandro Martinez had fouled Dejan Kulusevski inside the area. The goal was Kane's 15th in the Premier League this season, and it moved him closer to Jimmy Greaves' all-time Tottenham scoring record.
Tottenham doubled their lead in the 72nd minute when Maguire inadvertently turned a Son Heung-min cross into his own net. The own goal was a cruel blow for United, who had been the better side for much of the match. However, Spurs held on to secure the three points, much to the delight of the home crowd.
The victory was a welcome boost for Tottenham, who had lost their previous two Premier League matches. It also lifted the spirits of the players and fans after a disappointing season so far. Spurs will now look to build on this win when they travel to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
