00:00It's going to get forward. One thing that you possibly can see as well is when Man United are attacking, how narrow the back four is of Spurs.
00:09They're quite defending inside, so that may be something they look at, you know, and stop Ganaccio probably getting on the ball early and running at that space.
00:19But I think it's happening on both sides, both the right and left back. But it's tight in there, really tight in there.
00:25Something to certainly exploit. Anything you're expecting to see in the second half, Anthony?
00:32More goals. More goals, more chances.
00:36Always a good thing.
00:40Anthony?
00:41More goals, more chances. I feel it's the chances there for Spurs to get back in the game.
00:48It's just down to how much they really want it.
00:51And if they can keep that rotation and keep making those chances and getting the balls in the box, the chances are going to come.
00:59And hopefully, from a Spurs point of view, they'll be getting on the hit.
01:03And as we've seen under Ange Passacoglu, Spurs do not change the way they approach games, even when they're down to nine men.
01:10As we saw against Chelsea, it's always under the same philosophy.
01:14OK, let's pass you straight back to your match commentators at Old Trafford.
01:19Once again, it's Jim Beglin alongside Connor McNamara.
01:22We've finally got a goal at Old Trafford of this campaign.
01:27Three goals already.
01:29We are very much hoping that there will be more.
01:33Manchester United leading to 2-1 for now.
01:36First time here at Old Trafford this season that Manchester United have been in front at the break.
01:49Before today, Eric Tenhaik's team had only scored six goals in the first half of their Premier League games this season.
01:56Two already in this match feels very much an uplift for the Dutch coach.
02:01But can Manchester United build on this now?
02:04That's a good statement of intent from Bruno Fernandes in his first challenge of the second period.
02:09And then Rashford swept a little wide around Christian Romero as the game picks up just where it left off.
02:16Yeah, and relief for Hojbiak because he was the one that got caught on it to begin with.
02:24That's a good ball by Romero. Great ball.
02:28Skip to Timo Werner.
02:30He had a few wayward shots in the first half.
02:33He'll be hoping to in Bonny's accuracy.
02:35Bentancur arriving with ease.
02:37What a goal for Tottenham.
02:40Inside a minute of the restart.
02:45He is table-pulled by the horns.
02:47A graceful arrival in the penalty area.
02:50That is just what Ange Postacoglu would have wanted.
02:532-2.
02:54And matching Hoyland's very early goal in the first half, we've had a repeat.
03:02As I said, Romero has produced a stunning pass for Skip with all the room he had in midfield to turn and just kind of help it to Werner.
03:12And now it's a case of look for the support.
03:14And it came from Bentancur.
03:15I just think Johnny Evans got caught on his heels a little bit.
03:19He had a chance to make the movement.
03:21He didn't get it quite right there.
03:23And he just hesitates for a moment.
03:25And that gave Bentancur the advantage.
03:28And he took it with a plumb.
03:30This is another fine finish.
03:33It's a first goal since his return from injury for Rodrigo Bentancur.
03:40His last one came against Leicester in February.
03:44What a way to start the second half.
03:48Tottenham team who never down tools, who never feel they are beaten.
03:53It was just 50 seconds after the restart that Bentancur found the back of the net.
04:02There's not been many games this season that Tottenham have been behind at halftime.
04:06They've yet to come back to turn it in.
04:08Eric Terak almost missed that goal.
04:10He was only walking up the touchline from the tunnel as Bentancur stole in.
04:16And I just feel that that would not have been part of the team talk the Dutchman gave break.
04:21Manchester United, a setback again.
04:25Now let's see what Rashford can do here.
04:28Shows too much of it to Romero.
04:33First kick for the foul on the Argentinian.
04:36Yeah, just a mild trip from Fernandes.
04:392-2 on the scoreboard.
04:47Let's have a look at the current win probability.
04:50Oh, that's even, isn't it?
04:51Too close to call this one as it stands.
04:54I'm not even going to try.
04:55Fascinating if you're a supporter of either of these teams watching on.
05:02Thoroughly entertaining from a neutral perspective.
05:07I thought there would be goals in the second half.
05:09There's been one already and surely there's got to be more.
05:13Johnny Evans stops with Charleston.
05:15Last season, Johnny Evans was involved in a high-scoring game against his.
05:20He was in a Leicester team that was beaten six goals to two against Tottenham.
05:30Eight goals a game.
05:32We've already had four in this one.
05:35Clever run from Johnson.
05:39Werner at the back post denied by Dallow.
05:41Excellent defending.
05:42Can't keep it in.
05:52Frustrations from Manchester United.
05:55Yeah, most real momentum underway thanks to Dallow with the interception and then the run.
06:03That's a shame.
06:04He's trying to play it to Garnaccio on the run and it's always that bit harder.
06:12Manchester United, who have twice had leads in this game and twice not been able to hold on to them.
06:22Nine Premier League defeats already this campaign for Eric Ten Hag.
06:28Tottenham will now be wondering if they can make the lead for the first time themselves.
06:32It's Bentancur pass behind Johnson.
06:38Now Poro.
06:46Nicky van der Veen on his first appearance since early November.
06:51He missed nine Premier League games.
06:53It's a corner with an excellent pass to Poro.
07:00Werner is going to try and keep this alive.
07:04It was good work again for Dallow.
07:06He showed him to the byline and he ushered it out for his first corner.
07:10And I think Richarlison felt that Poro overhit the cross to find Werner.
07:15In the end, he was hoping, the Brazilian, that it would be a reminder for him.
07:20But Poro again is on it.
07:23We've seen great deliveries in the first half.
07:26From these corners into the six-yard box.
07:28And I suspect we're going to see another.
07:32You've given him the big build-up, Jim.
07:35Commentators jinx.
07:36This one is real short.
07:42He didn't want to risk it.
07:45Jimson unable to get the flick on.
07:47Poro gets another chance.
07:48Back to Udogi.
07:52Now Romero.
07:53Went just to United trying to step out a little.
07:55Poro picks up wonderful space.
08:07Skip keeps it moving here.
08:08Richarlison.
08:10Just seemed to kick down into the ground.
08:12Didn't have the momentum that he was hoping.
08:16Yeah, I think Skip needed to be picked up a little earlier here.
08:19Because, okay, it's weak in the end from Richarlison.
08:23But they're getting that extra number in midfield.
08:26More often than not, Tottenham.
08:27And Manchester United need to reach to that.
08:31Bruno Fernandes nudges it to Christian Eriksen now.
08:34He looks for space.
08:36Poro back in defensive mode.
08:40You've got to credit Poro, Doggy.
08:41We've mentioned a few times how ambitious they are getting forward.
08:44Invariably, though, they get back quickly, too.
08:52They've scored more away goals this season than any other team.
08:58Werner accelerates around Delo.
09:01Evans was able to cut out the attempt to cross.
09:05Yeah, and if he does go on the outside like that,
09:07then there's the weakness with trying to cross on his left foot.
09:10Skip's pass was easily read by Wanda Saka.
09:13And then drones around Old Trafford.
09:16Rasmus Horland has had to deal with sub-par service throughout this campaign.
09:22And that pass was weak again.
09:26Richarlison.
09:30Romero.
09:30Poro.
09:51It's blocked by Omar Moussaka.
09:52Tottenham remain on the attack.
09:55Johnson's right.
09:56I mean, he's had a moan at Poro for not playing him in.
09:58He should have.
10:06Van de Ben.
10:08Diverter.
10:08Robier playing it in front of Johnson just as the Welshman had come short.
10:25But it's great persistence.
10:30And Moussaka rides the storm.
10:32This is Rashford.
10:34Straight to Poro.
10:37Richarlison goes down.
10:38Tottenham get a kick in a dangerous location.
10:43I mean, Richarlison, as soon as he feels a hand on him,
10:46it's the one place he's going to go.
10:48And Ericsson thinking, well, he's getting goals, right?
10:51So I'll just try and hold him up a little.
10:53And, of course, it's going to go against him.
10:59Six goals and six in the top flight for Richarlison.
11:03Before today, he's only called against Manchester United.
11:06The pass came in Everton colours.
11:10Poro will be relishing this position.
11:12This is made for him.
11:132-2 for now.
11:19None of the last 17 Premier League games
11:21between these clubs here at Old Trafford
11:23have finished in the draw.
11:29Poro Fernandes turns a Tottenham free kick
11:32into a Tottenham corner.
11:36He had alternatives.
11:37Werner had kind of to the back of that.
11:39And Skip was on the edge of the 18-yard box
11:42where you can see him again now.
11:44He could have gone short to him.
11:48Ten minutes since the break.
11:52Poro.
11:54Followed by Evans.
11:57This is Hoivier already in this game.
12:00Tottenham scored for Charleston,
12:01and they've hit the crossbar.
12:04Romero from the corner
12:05rattling the woodwork.
12:06Tottenham, who have been out of the traps
12:14impressively in the second period
12:15as those possession stats reveal.
12:18Yeah, I mean, we saw them growing
12:20in the first half,
12:21and they've taken it on even further
12:23in the second, Tottenham.
12:25And Manchester United are happy to sit in
12:27and then wait for those counter-attacks.
12:28That's why you heard the disappointment
12:30when Wan-Bissaka couldn't find Rashford
12:32a short time ago.
12:36A bit of activity down in the
12:38Manchester United technical area.
12:40Scott McTominay receiving instructions
12:42from Eric Ted Haack.
12:45McTominay who's enjoying his best-ever
12:47scoring season in the Premier League.
12:49And the kind of thrust
12:51they need from midfield.
12:57Archiposto-Coglu doesn't have
12:59quite as many options on his best.
13:01He's named two goalkeepers.
13:03He is named eight substitutes,
13:05not the available nine.
13:09Such are the shortages available
13:10to Archiposto-Coglu.
13:13It's going to be another corner
13:14from Tottenham it is.
13:15Raphael Varane at his 50th
13:19Premier League stars.
13:33Can Porro threaten once again
13:35with a corner kick delivery?
13:41It's a lottery who's going to get
13:43something on it when they're this
13:44close to one another.
13:45Nicely swung in again.
13:49By Johnny Evans means
13:50yet another Tottenham corner.
14:09The latest delivery.
14:10Werner went for the spectacular.
14:13That is a difficult manoeuvre to pull off.
14:17It would have been quite the moment
14:18that that hit the back of the net
14:19on his Tottenham debut for Thibaut Werner.
14:22Yeah, I mean, it seems like
14:23he's got more space.
14:24As soon as he takes a touch,
14:25then United players are going to swarm him.
14:27So I can understand that.
14:28And it was difficult.
14:29It was a difficult skill.
14:30Here's the change.
14:33Here's the change.
14:34Christian Eriksen has only lasted 12 minutes of the second half.
14:38Scott McTominay enters the Manchester United midfield
14:42where he'll play alongside Kobe Maynou.
14:44two goals against Chelsea last month for Manchester United's top Premier League goalscorer this season.
14:51This is one to sack it.
14:57Picking out Rasmus Hoyland.
14:59Oh, he's got a trick up his sleeve too.
15:02Bandon Venn trying to scamper back.
15:04And a doggy in front of Vaccaro.
15:07Puts it out for the quarter.
15:08That was good from Hoyland.
15:10I love this little piece of skill here.
15:11This is absolutely brilliant.
15:13Because he completely deceives
15:15the men
15:16to get himself in a position
15:18to try and get the cross in.
15:20And Vaccaro's got no problem
15:21with the doggy getting there before him.
15:23Well, this exudes a confidence.
15:25To even attempt that from Hoyland
15:26is exactly what Manchester United fans will want to see.
15:33Bruno Fernandes' corner.
15:35Nobody the back stick
15:36for Manchester United.
15:37Now, communication errors there.
15:41You can see
15:41that Bruno Fernandes
15:43thought that
15:45somebody had been in that location.
15:48Manchester United in
15:49what is almost a quarter of an hour now
15:51of the second half
15:52have yet to have a touch
15:53in the Manchester United penalty area.
15:56They've yet to have a
15:57shot on target in this second half.
16:01Good challenge.
16:03McTominay with a loose ball.
16:04It spills for Ben de Kour.
16:06Johnson.
16:07Another Tottenham-Chorne.
16:11It's like Groundhog Day for Toro.
16:14Hoybier has just picked up a knock.
16:19This would be a problem
16:20for Tottenham because
16:22they are short of central midfielders.
16:26Back up at his feet already.
16:28He's made of tough stuff.
16:29Pierre-Emile Hoybier.
16:31Yeah, McTominay's just come on
16:32and said hello.
16:37Porro's had plenty practice
16:38of these today.
16:39Moran heads
16:40the latest corner away.
16:44Porro.
16:46Ben de Kour.
16:46and they sliced it in
16:49from that wide
16:50but
16:50straight to Ornana.
16:53And he had no outball.
16:54Pretty much everyone was back.
16:55Garnaccio made a run to the right.
16:57Rashford
16:58to the left
16:59but
16:59quickly enough.
17:05Interesting stat
17:06for Tottenham fans
17:08is that
17:08Timo Werner
17:09has attended
17:10five shots
17:11in this game.
17:13Apparently
17:13in all his time at Chelsea
17:14he never attempted
17:15five shots
17:15in a Premier League match
17:17for them
17:17so he's had an instant impact
17:19for Hampton Ven
17:21who
17:21well it's
17:22like he's never been away
17:23he's showing no
17:24rustiness
17:25from a couple of months
17:26on the sidelines.
17:27I mean that's why
17:28he got a hamstring injury
17:29in the first place
17:29because usually guys
17:31that are really quick
17:31suffer with that
17:33and
17:33he's got some pace.
17:40Masaka
17:40Bruno Fernandes
17:41trying to lay it off
17:42for his time
17:42it's come back to one
17:43Masaka again
17:44Vanpton Ven
17:45sliding in
17:45this is McTominay
17:47Manchester United's
17:50closest attempt
17:51to the second half
17:52that's what he's been
17:53brought on to do.
17:56Yeah
17:57I'm sure
17:58you know
17:58the fact that he's
17:59in there
17:59and his involvement
18:00is a little spark
18:02in itself
18:03and that's exactly
18:04what Ten Hag
18:05had in mind
18:05when
18:06he substituted
18:08Ericsson.
18:15Minou
18:16Polo away
18:18it's a free kick
18:21for Tottenham
18:22and Minou
18:22is deemed to have
18:23followed through
18:24in his lunge
18:25there illegally
18:26hard to believe
18:29he's still only
18:2918 years of age
18:31Kobe Maynard
18:31such as the
18:32presence
18:33become
18:33in the centre
18:34of the park
18:35for Manchester United
18:36he's now started
18:37seven of the last
18:38nine Premier League
18:39games
18:39Kobe Maynard
18:40right
18:41this is the moment
18:42the Manchester United
18:43fans have been
18:43waiting for
18:44for a long time
18:44Tony Evans
18:46will make way
18:47for the return
18:48of the Argentinian
18:50World Cup winner
18:51his first appearance
18:52since September
18:53a huge roar
18:56to welcome back
18:57Lissandro Martinez
18:59when fit
19:02he has been
19:03Manchester United's
19:04best defender
19:05of recent times
19:06Talo winning the header
19:13Minou down
19:15at Tomenay
19:16up towards
19:17Garnaccio
19:18strong run
19:22by Dalo
19:22on the overlap
19:23well held
19:25by Guglielmo
19:26Vicario
19:27overall
19:28I think
19:29Dalo's had
19:29quite a good game
19:31Werner
19:41home
19:53going to the
20:03midway point
20:04to the first half
20:05this is interesting
20:06look at
20:06touches in the
20:07opposition box
20:07Manchester United still yet to touch the ball inside Tottenham's penalty area.
20:12They've had shots from the periphery, they've had crosses from out wide,
20:16but no Manchester United player has touched the ball in that area yet.
20:19Here comes Brennan Johnson, it's a complete contrast for Spurs,
20:22they've barely been out of the Manchester United box.
20:27Wild delivery from Brennan Johnson on that occasion.
20:30And Togic, persistence to keep that in.
20:33Then he takes a tumble, Garnaccio is the defender.
20:36I think the first contact might have been outside the penalty area.
20:40Dallos stands up to Richarlison.
20:44Yeah, well, we saw it in reverse, didn't we, in the first half when Garnaccio went down.
20:49And I think Udogi felt on this occasion, I mean, Garnaccio was lucky because
20:53he should have protected that enough.
20:57I mean, I think Udogi, again, like I said in the first half, is looking for it.
21:02He's just tried to kind of block Garnaccio's movement, and he goes down of his own accord.
21:07That is Haaland, Rashford's made a great run here, in around the back of Porro.
21:12Marcus Rashford already on the score sheet today, but Porro holds him up this time.
21:18Helped out by Cristian Romero.
21:21Game beginning to stretch now at Old Trafford, it's been a great watch.
21:26There was two Tottenham players who've been hurt.
21:32Destiny of Doggy is still down, as you can see.
21:37This has been the best chance for Marcus Rashford since his goal.
21:40I mean, it's great running.
21:44It's almost like, you know, playing against Aston Villa again, the high defensive line.
21:48Tottenham similarly again.
21:49And they know it's that movement inside that he wants to make, and they're ready for it.
21:54And this was the doggie getting injured when McTominay had that little step towards him, caught him on the shin.
22:04And Scott McTominay's come on to add a little bit of crunch to Manchester United's challenges.
22:09Eric Ten Hag with some instructions for Marcus Rashford.
22:13He's gone today, just his fourth in 28 games for Manchester United for their number 10.
22:22Eric Ten Hag, who, if he was to lose today, it would be a 10th Premier League defeat of the season.
22:29In the Premier League era, Manchester United have only reached double figures for Premier League losses four times over an entire campaign.
22:36And on all four of those seasons, Manchester United sacked the managers.
22:41There is no doubt that the pressure is very definitely on for Eric Ten Hag.
22:47And with new structure of ownership, very often new people want their own appointments.
22:52And there does seem to have been positive conversations between Ineos and Eric Ten Hag so far.
23:00Yeah, that'll matter little if the results don't continue to improve as you do.
23:06That'll matter.
23:24Sandro Martírez.
23:26Back out on the paddock.
23:28After all time looking on from the sidelines.
23:30his last game was the 4-3
23:35Champions League defeat in Munich
23:37he's missed the last 14 games
23:40Manchester United have very much missed him
23:44Ferdinand is trying to be clever
23:47allowing a pass in front of him
23:49but no way through
23:50this is Benton Coeur
