Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur live: Deflected Fred effort and brilliant Bruno finish give dominant United the lead

Excellent performance from United who stay fifth; Spurs stay third.

And a while he joined, they murdered Everton one Sunday afternoon. They'd never played anywhere near as well as that before - they ran them off the pitch - and that was the start of them being good. It's not quite the same with United, as the progression has been more gradual, but they've set a standard for themselves here.

Spurs would've taken a hiding here. Incidentally, when those last changes were made, Ronaldo went down the tunnel. Perhaps there's a reason for him to, I don't know, but I'm not surprised if he's vexed and showing it.

I can't grasp how poor spurs have been.

Says Shearer. Fair enough, though Fred was also excellent.

Perisic and Bentancur off, Spence and Skipp on.

Elanga and Eriksen for Sancho and Casemiro.

He makes a strong interception when McTominay blocks Bentancur, then waits for the inevitable foul. he's been good and getting better the last few weeks, after a slow start.

Conte took a top-fourish team and spent a load of money on players of top-fourish quality. I'm not surprised by how this game has gone, at all, because Ten Hag spent a load of money on players with topish potential.

They've offered almost nothing, so it's so odd the changes took so long because since about 20 minutes in, this match has been going only one way.

TRIPLE CHANGE FOR SPURS

Doherty, Dier, Bissouma off; Sanchez, Sessegnon and Moura on.

He shimmies, Lloris dives, he strolls past and finishes ... then the flag goes up.

This is not, I wouldn't have though, part of the plan.

McTominay replaces Antony.

To get away from his ma in midfield, megging him with a flick.Then, when he botches a pass over to Sancho, he regains possession and slides in Rashford, whose left-footed drive across Lloris is tipped wide. From the corner, Dalot heads over the bar.

I'd like to see Antony try going on the outside more than he has.

Is Bruno playing better with Fred and Casemiro behind him, rather than Casemiro and Eriksen?

GOAL! Manchester United 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur (Fernandes) A lovely goal from a lovely player! Antony nashes down the right and when the ball comes in, Fred's shot flicks off Dier and arrives at the feet of Bruno who, from 20 yards, curls beautifully into the far side-netting! That was a really difficult shot to take on as the ball had just bounced, but he's played beautifully tonight so I'm not surprised his took it.
