JAKARTA - Manchester United have completely overhauled Tottenham Hotpsur. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team beat 1-6 at home in the fourth Premier League match at Old Trafford Stadium, Sunday, October 4 local time.
As reported by Antara, Monday, MU actually started the match well when Anthony Martial was brought down by Davinson Sanchez in the area and Bruno Fernandes scored with his trademark penalty which jumped up and down to bring the hosts the lead in the second minute.
However, that advantage only lasted as long as the corn due to the fragility of the MU back line began to be exposed. Erik Lamela snatched the ball from Luke Shaw's possession, sending in a pass that Tanguy Ndombele finished to make it level in the fourth minute.
Then three minutes later, Tottenham turned 2-1 ahead when the MU back line was not ready to anticipate Harry Kane's quick free kick and the ball was controlled by Son Heung-min who then tricked goalkeeper David de Gea.
MU almost made the position back to balance when young star Mason Greenwood tried to finish Marcus Rashford's ball, unfortunately his shot was still thin on the side of the goal.
The situation immediately turned disastrous for United in the 28th minute when Martial was sent off by referee Anthony Taylor, after the French forward had committed a disgrace on Lamela.
Two minutes later, the situation 11 against 10 was immediately used by Tottenham to increase the advantage through Kane's first goal ending cooperation with Son.
Tottenham's lead was further increased to 4-1 when Son scored his second goal in the 37th minute, which saved De Gea when he tore into a Serge Aurieer's cross that had hit Manchester United captain Harry Maguire.

Entering the second half, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tried to overcome the lame situation by including Fred and Scott McTominay, replacing Fernandes and Nemanja Matic respectively.
But that did not have much impact, because six minutes after football Tottenham scored the fifth goal which Aurier scored with a cross that used a pass from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Tottenham continued to dominate the game and in the 79th minute, Kane completed their 6-1 win with a penalty after Paul Pogba brought down Lucas Moura.
The result made Tottenham move up to fifth with a collection of seven points, while MU (3) slipped to 16th and only three points from the relegation zone.
The Premier League will enter the international break for two weeks before Manchester United and Tottenham play again. MU will travel to Newcastle United's headquarters on Saturday, October 17, while Tottenham only play a day later to host West Ham United.
