SPURS WIN POSTECOGLOU'S FIRST HOME GAME
FT: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Manchester United. It is a brilliant first home game for Postecoglou, whose side win 2-0 thanks to an improved and inventive second-half showing. After a bright start, United were pretty poor and plenty for them to consider, having made noise pre-match about improving their away form.
