Tottenham’s woeful record against Manchester United continued courtesy of goals from Danny Welbeck, Anderson and Wayne Rooney.
The Champions didn’t have their own way in the first hour as Tottenham were more than a match for them and they certainly had their chances. Unfortunately the lack of quality in the final third cost the visitors dear and subsequently wasted any opportunity for them to end their wretched run.
Sir Alex Ferguson will be delighted with the result and the second half performance, with Danny Welbeck and Anderson in particular impressing. Phil Jones was absolutely superb at the back and showed great maturity in the absence of Ferdinand and Vidic; while Chris Smalling kept Gareth Bale relatively quiet all night.
The 3-0 score line didn’t paint the real picture of the game; however that will do little to please Harry Redknapp who was seemingly furious at the performance of his backline in the last half hour of the game. United go joint top of the table, alongside their great City rivals.
