Erik ten Hag took that defeat personally.
27 - Manchester United have won more games than any other side across the big five European leagues this season (27); indeed, their total is already seven more victories than they managed last season (20). Surging.
Hotspur moved into the Premier League’s top four as they returned to form with a 2-0 home win over West Ham United that left their London rivals in the bottom three on Sunday.
There was little to separate the sides in a forgettable first half but the hosts stepped up the pace after the interval with goals by Emerson Royal and substitute Son Heung-min.
It was an important win for Spurs after defeat at Leicester City and a midweek loss away to AC Milan in the Champions League as they leapfrogged Newcastle United in the table.
Right back Emerson marked his 50th Premier League game by opening the scoring in the 56th minute.
