[Lucky McLuckerson]

Well that was a both entertaining and nerve wracking game! After we led at the break Spurs threw everything at in the second-half and if not for the incredible heroics of David De Gea they would have got a draw, or probably even won this one.

This was labelled the first proper test of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United and I think we can say he gets high marks. We setup to counter-attack in the first-half and did so devastatingly at times, ultimately leading to Rashford's winning goal just before the break.

In the second-half we had some chances to extend our lead but as the game went on we dropped deeper and deeper as Spurs took total control of the game. Chance after chance came their way but De Gea would not be beaten.

A big big win for us that sees us go level on points with Arsenal in fifth. Chelsea still remain six points ahead of us in fourth.

Ole brilliant in first half, lucky in second but he's making a serious claim now

 

[simplyared]

How can we lose with that keeper we've got!

 

[sullydnl]

De Gea the difference between a United win and a Spurs win.

 

[fallengt]

Jones should be ashamed. Thank feck we have De Gea

 

[GM K]

All I have to say is.....David De Gea Quintana. *Mic dropped*

 

[FujiVice]

I love this game.

*Evra dance*

 

[Cloud7]

Trippier’s crossing from RB is very very good. We need an outlet like that in our team.

 

[AndyJ1985]

First half was great, much more like the United we want to see.

De Gea saved our arse in the second half. He's amazing.

Herrera and Pogba were great. Lindelof isn't bad either.

Phil Jones is horrible footballer, I hope he never plays for us again. Lukaku also is rubbish.

Overall some good stuff and more positive signs for Ole. It's clear we need some significant investment in the summer to really push on, though.

 

[MuranoLover]

One for the history - Ole

 

[Jamie Shawcross]

I am bloody ECSTATIC with that result and performance. Went toe to toe with one of the best sides in the league, away from home and didn't just park the bus. We looked lethal on the break, De Gea was incredible and we just looked assured and in control. We got our United back! Tactical masterclass from OGS there, proving anyone wrong who thought he had done well because he had had it easy. Making a real case for taking the full time job here. Brilliant

 

[RG 11]

What a game. We were very good in the first half and once the pressure piled on, De Gea came through.

Need good replacements for Matic, Jones and Lukaku and we'll be back up there challenging for the title next season.

 

[ken11]

Felt like a cup final. My god. DDG was immense.

 

[dove]

What a win but damn the second half was brutal

 

[Ban]

Huge win, absolutely huge.

 

[Lj82]

Thank God for DDG

 

[Red-Man-Walking]

De Gea will get all the plaudits and rightly so, but from the outfield players Herrera was my MOTM, absolutely relentless.

 

[Santos J]

David fecking de Gea

 

[kiristao]

Wooooooooohoooooooo..
We were poor second half but who cares.. right now all I am concerned about is the 3 points..

 

[BlueHaze]

All hail our lord and savior David De Gea.

 

[Sandyman]

"She canee take the strain capt'n!"

 

[Raoul]

Unbelievable performance. A month ago this would've been a 4-0 result to Spurs.
