No Kane needed: Spurs take lead over Man Utd

Tottenham Hotspur are hosting Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the Premier League matchday two fixture. 

The first half was tight as both teams shared possession and created several chances. However, Spurs had the upper hand as they hit the crossbar twice. But in the second period they didn't miss a beat.

Pape Matar Sarr broke the deadlock in the 49th minute to give his side the lead after a pass from Dejan Kulusevski. The Senegalese midfielder was in the right place to convert his teammate's deflected cross.

If the match ends this way, the home team would take the three points and move into fourth place while Manchester United would be in 10th place.
