Spurs started aggressively, with Micky van de Ven cutting through United’s defense just three minutes in, creating an early chance for Brennan Johnson that set the tone for the match.
United’s fortunes worsened in the 42nd minute when captain Bruno Fernandes received a straight red card for a reckless challenge on James Maddison, leaving the hosts with a daunting task.
