Three talking points from Spurs resounding victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League

#2 Defense exposed again for United

Jones
Jones was vulnerable, and his mistimed jump caused United the first goal.

For two consecutive games in a row, the defensive vulnerabilities of United were apparent. The pair of Jones and Smalling who replaced Baily and Lindelof from the last match looked good at the start but as the game progressed more spaces opened up for Spurs to exploit and they were repeatedly threatening to score.

Mourinho played Herrera in an unusual position at the back which added some confusion between the defenders. United has to sort their defence out if they want to challenge for the Champions League qualification places.
