12 minutes in, he went out to the United attacker and made a good save from Rashford. made a superb reflex save to deflect Casemiro’s goal-bound header. The Italian presented a very cool, composed demeanor throughout. Even though the Frenchman was eventually called for offside, Varane made another fantastic tip-over in the last moments.
Late in the second half, a shot was attempted and hit the angle of the crossbar and right post. Before the game, there were some concerns about his defense, but he handled almost everything down his side flawlessly. His most effective defensive display for the team. 8
He had a VAR check against him for a possible handball in the Spurs box in the first half after their head-on collision, but nothing was given. Otherwise, he commanded the back line and delivered some exquisite passes out to the wings. 8
seemed a little nervous at beginning and lost Fernandes behind him to give United a good chance in the first half. He did, however, develop an understanding of the game as seen by a few dribbles past United strikers. It’s amazing to imagine that he’s only 22 and has only been at the club for a little over a week, but he was thrown into the middle of a historically weak defense in two crucial opening games and raised their level. 7
He is developing a fantastic relationship with Son down the left and is very unflappable for a 20-year-old. After being pushed through by the South Korean star, I had a few shots on goal. Davies came off with 20 seconds remaining. 8
Matar Sarr, Pape
Additionally, a midfielder who is only 20 years old put on such a strong performance. Around the halfway point, after making a strong run and forcing Onana to save one of his shots, he scored his first goal for Tottenham with a composed half-volley off of a deflected cross from Kulusevski. launched into a number of booming, flawless tackles before being removed with 15 minutes remaining for Hojbjerg. 9
Another strong performance, and occasionally United couldn’t approach him. Now that he’s been let loose, he’s going to be a major gamechanger for the Spurs this year. 8
John Madison
The creative hub in Tottenham. went on a wild dribble across the middle of the field, leading to Sarr’s chance in the first half. He had some part in every successful Spurs move, and he passed the ball wide to Perisic in the lead-up to the second goal. 8
Kulusevski Dejan
hesitant in several of their attacking opportunities in the first half, and Onana easily saved one of their shots. His misdirected cross was what Sarr volleyed in. improved as the game went on and United had trouble keeping up with his runs. 7
Richarlison
There is a lot of thankless running and ball gripping. Didn’t have many opportunities again, though. 6
Heung-min Son
utilized all of his knowledge on the left wing in an effort to force the United defense to switch sides. After Richarlison departed the field, he made some extremely strong connections with Udogie and Maddison and moved into the center. 7
Bryan Davies
came on and gave a strong performance in addition to running up the field to offer the touch that let Martinez accidentally score his own goal. 7
Perisic, Ivan
In the lead-up to the second goal, he again demonstrated his talent by putting Davies through. 7
Hojbjerg, Pierre-Emile
replaced Sarr and put in a lot of effort in the center of the field, using his knowledge to fill in the gaps in time and move the ball along fast. 6
