#2 United rue missed chances which could have altered the game's momentum
Football is a sport where a team could be severely punished for failing to convert clear cut chances. Manchester United were on the wrong end of this saying.
United began the game on a bright note as they set up in an organised manner, thereby preventing the likes of Eriksen and Alli from having any space to exploit. Jose Mourinho also employed a counter press which limited Spurs in their own half during the initial periods of the game.
The Red Devils spurned their first real chance in the 16th minute when Danny Rose played an awful back pass, that was intercepted by Romelu Lukaku who missed a gaping goal after rounding Lloris. Coupled with this miss, some abject finishing from the likes of Fred and Matic did not help United's cause as they failed to trouble the Spurs defence.
The game's momentum could have been altered in United's favour had they taken these chance, preventing the hosts being swatted aside by an efficient Spurs side.
