Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Manchester United: 3 takeaways from the game | Premier League 2018-19

#1 Title race over for Mauricio Pochettino's side?

Spurs deserved something out of the game.

Out of the top three, Spurs were the least favorites among the bookmakers to win the Premier League this season. Despite all the controversies surrounding their stadium, Pochettino and his men did make a good account for themselves and fought on all four fronts. However, with such a tight squad, it's always going to get difficult for the North London side to compete against the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.

The home side didn't look at their best in the first half today and went behind before the break when Marcus Rashford beat Hugo Lloris at the far post. Spurs completely dominated the second half, and the number of chances they created was enough to claim three points on any other day.

It was David de Gea's brilliance on goal that stopped Pochettino to get any point out of the match and arguably ended their title hopes this season. With the gap stretched to nine points between them and Liverpool, it seems too far for Tottenham to catch up.
