Tottenham took an early lead against Manchester United on Sunday, scoring just three minutes into the match.
The opening goal came after Marcus Rashford was slow to react, losing possession to Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, who intercepted the ball just outside his own penalty area.
Van de Ven, known for his speed and athleticism, embarked on a remarkable run, covering nearly the entire length of the pitch. Along the way, he easily bypassed four Manchester United players, who failed to close him down or apply pressure.
As Van de Ven approached the final third, he delivered a precise pass across the face of the penalty area, targeting Brennan Johnson at the far post.
The Welsh international, in fine form, confidently converted the chance, netting his fourth goal in four matches. United’s Diogo Dalot could do little but watch as Johnson finished the move.
Tottenham’s early strike provided the ideal start to the game for the visitors, putting pressure on Manchester United to find a way back into the match. The question now is whether the hosts can respond and turn the tide in their favor.
