Tottenham edged Manchester United
2-1 in a breathless encounter at Old Trafford as the hosts’ hopes of
retaining their Premier League title suffered a potentially fatal blow.
Emmanuel Adebayor planted a header beyond David De Gea
to give Spurs the lead before Roberto Soldado missed a glaring
opportunity to add a second when he blazed wide from close range.But it took until just after the hour mark for the game to explode into life. First, the visitors doubled their advantage when Christian Eriksen stooped to head home Aaron Lennon’s deflected effort before United hit back instantly when Danny Welbeck clipped home from inside the area.
