Martial Late Winner Secures a Crucial Victory for Manchester United

As it went down:

Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham:

Martial late winner secures a vital home win against rivals Tottenham Hotspur.


10: CHANCE!! Dier slips and Lukaku threads a ball through to Rashford on the edge. He can't get his shot away but the ball deflects back to Luaku inside the area down the right. He smacks one with his right boot...SHANK! The ball flies across goal. Spurs survive. 


12: FREE-KICK! Sissoko fouls Mkhitaryan in midfield. It's a good 35 yards out, but Rashford lines it up...

SAVE! Powerful strike. It zips off the surface and forces Lloris into a diving save which he turns around the post. From the corner, Lloris palms it clear.


28: CHANCE!! De Gea comes to claim a routine cross but runs into Jones and the ball spins out to Alli. He sets up Sissoko from 18 yards. He's under no pressure...but skies an effort into the stand.

30: TEMPER, TEMPER! Young wants a foul for a flinging arm from Aurier, but nothing given. After a mildly heated discussion, Alli gets involved and Young gets very chirpy with the Spurs man. They go head-to-head but Alli doesn't take the bait.


42: SAVE!! United don't deal with Eriksen's fine ball. It drops toVertonghen at an awkward angle from 12 yards. He reveres a looped effort towards the top corner, but De Gea gets across to make an easy take.

55: CHANCE!! Mkhitaryan drifts into space and it all opens up. He hits a tame effort straight at Lloris......who lets the ball slip out of his grasp. In flies Rashford from close range..what a tackle by Davies, who forces the ball clear from two yards out. 

56: SAVE! Mkhitaryan comes again as United up the tempo. He dances down the left and flashes a cross-shot that Lloris has to block away. The rebound drops to Valencia about 15 yards out....his effort is brilliantly blocked away by Dier. 


74: SAVE!! Lukaku gets one-on-one withAlderweireld and takes him down the outside. He gets half a yard and flashes a shot across goal which Lloirs gets a hand to. It looked to be going wide, anyway. 

United keep the pressure on and Valencia flies into the box. He goes down as Davies leaves a leg out. He tumbles. The referee books him for diving. 

77: CHANCE! Oh wow. Big chance. Eriksen finds space again. He curls a majestic ball into the six yard box where Alli gets the run on Smalling. He beats De Gea to the ball but flicks the ball wide from close range. 

79: POST!! Lingard gets away down the right and a hangs a ball up for Lukaku to attack. He does brilliantly to win the header and plant one towards the bottom corner. Lloris can only watch as the ball bounces back off the upright! 


81' GOAL!! MAN UTD 1-0 SPURS (Martial, 81)

De Gea pings a free-kick long which is won by Lukaku under no pressure. Dier allows Martial to nip in behind him and he's through on goal.
