Spurs struggled without leading scorer Harry Kane, who missed the game with a hamstring injury, but almost held out until United's sustained pressure told 10 minutes from the end. After a raft of substitutions from both managers the game appeared to be petering out, but the best action was saved until last. Within two minutes United almost took the lead at the other end as Romelu Lukaku headed Jesse Lingard's cross onto the post, before the deadlock was finally broken in the 81st minute.
