Micky van de Ven opened up United's defence wཧith an excellent run to set up Brennan Johnson with just three𝓡 minutes on the clock, and it never got better for United from then on.
Alejandro Garnacho s💝truck the post before Bruno Fernandes received a straight red card in the 42nd minute for a late tackle on James Maddison, giving United a mountain to climb.
It was a challenge they were unable to overcome, with Spurs capitalising on their numerical advantage early in tꦗhe second half through Dejan Kulusevski before Dominic Solanke tapped home a third, and it could have been more, if not for some big Andre Onana saves.

Data Debrief: Spurs run riot
It has been a tough start to the season for United, 𒁏who have only scored one Premier League goal at Old Trafford so far this season, with that coming in their opener against Fulham.
Fernandes' sending-off did not help matters, as he became the fourth United captain to be sent off in the competition at Old Trafford, rece💧iving his first red card since 𝔍joining the club (242 appearances).
While the hosts may have been poor, it should not take anything away from Spurs. They accumulated a huge 4.67 expected goals from their 24 shots𒆙, w💯ith 10 of those on target.
They also had nine big chances, the joint-most ever created in a Premier League game after Arsenal v🌟 Fulham in January 2019. They scored two of the six they had in the second half as they cruised to their first꧅ away win in the competition this season.
