Manchester United recorded their second loss of the season after falling heavily to Tottenham Hotspurs by 6-1.

The win made Jose Mourinho the first manager to face a side he's formerly managed in the Premier League away from home and scored five goals since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer vs Cardiff in Dec 2018.

It was an incredible start of the game as Spurs were caught cold with all but 30 seconds on the clock. Sanchez clumsily bundled Martial to the ground in the area before referee Taylor showed no hesitation pointing straight to the spot.

Bruno Fernandes skipped and struck Manchester United into the lead.

Ndombele leveled the scores two minutes later after an awful defending from Manchester United.

Bailly, Maguire, and Shaw made a hash of clearing United lines as Lamela made a nuisance of himself in the area.

The ball then fell for Tanguy Ndombele and he made no mistake, punishing the catalog of errors with a drilled effort into the bottom corner.
