Maddison Sinks United in Spurs' Vital Win
Spurs break their home curse as Maddison’s brilliance hands United another setback—how did it all unfold
Tottenham secured a crucial 1-0 win against Manchester United last night, thanks to a well-taken goal by James Maddison in the 13th minute.
Spurs move up to 12th in the Premier League table, gaining a much-needed confidence boost ahead of their next fixtures
Spurs started brightly, pressing high and capitalising on United’s defensive gaps. Maddison, returning from injury, showed his class with a composed finish that proved to be the decisive moment of the match. Despite United pushing for an equaliser, Tottenham’s defence held firm, with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario producing key saves to keep the visitors at bay.
United, missing several first-team players due to injuries, struggled to create clear-cut chances. Alejandro Garnacho had one of the best opportunities, but his effort was denied by Vicario. The defeat extends United’s poor run under manager Ruben Amorim, who now faces growing concerns over the team’s form.
Maddison's Magic Seals Spurs Victory Over Struggling United
The victory ended Spurs’ long wait for a home win and piled further pressure on a struggling United side.
“We knew we had to be at our best today, and I thought the lads showed great character. It wasn’t always pretty, but we defended well and took our chance when it mattered. This result gives us something to build on.”

What It Means for Both Teams
Tottenham move up to 12th in the Premier League table, gaining a much-needed confidence boost ahead of their next fixtures. United, meanwhile, remain in a worrying position, slipping to 15th after yet another disappointing result.
The win also marks the first time Spurs have completed a league double over United since the 1989-90 season, a sign of how far the Red Devils have fallen in recent years.
