Quick Eriksen Goal Inspires Tottenham To Victory Over Man United

Christian Eriksen scored just after 11 seconds as Tottenham ended Manchester United’s unbeaten run in 2018 with a 2-0 victory at Wembley yesterday.

The Denmark star capitalized on poor defending straight from kick-off in the first half before a dreadful home goal from Phil Jones doubled Spurs’ lead before the break to seal the deal.

The result ended United’s eight-match unbeaten league run and sees them fall 15 points behind leaders Manchester City, who beat West Brom 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

Eriksen scored the fastest goal ever conceded by Manchester United in the Premier League when he pounced on his visitors’ failure to clear a simple long ball.

Jose Mourinho’s side, in which Alexis Sanchez was making his first league start since joining from Arsenal, had a bright spell thereafter but went two down before the break when Jones turned in Kieran Trippier’s cross.

Indeed, it could have been much worse had fifth-placed spurs made the most of second-half openings and there is likely to be a lengthy inquest into the manner of United’s defeat before Huddersfield Town’s visit this weekend.
