ASILIMIA KWA KILA MCHEZAJI KATI YA SPURS NA MAN U!!

  • Hugo Lloris
    16
    52

    Hugo Lloris

    Had very little to do but will be disappointed with the way in which he conceded the penalty in the second half.
  • Kyle Walker
    50
    22

    Kyle Walker

    Drilled a fantastic free kick under the wall to give Spurs the lead in the 18th minute but made a real mess to gift Rooney his first equaliser. Kept his head up and continued to bomb forward.
  • Jan Vertonghen
    37
    31

    Jan Vertonghen

    Battled hard defensively up against Valencia. Sometimes beaten but put in strong challenges and got forward well.
  • Vlad Iulian Chiricheş
    64
    21

    Vlad Iulian Chiricheş

    Dawdled on the ball for too long once in the first half but otherwise a composed and classy defensive display.
  • Michael Dawson
    19
    30

    Michael Dawson

    Appeared to be struggling for pace in a few instances but decent on the whole, making some crunching tackles.
  • Aaron Lennon
    55
    20

    Aaron Lennon

    Had Evra on toast in the first half and constantly beat the Frenchman with his pace. Forced De Gea into a sharp save in the opening 45 minutes but appeared to be carrying an injury in the second before being replaced by Townsend.
  • Paulinho
    50
    20

    Paulinho

    The Brazilian played in a new position just off Soldado. Powerful running and pressing throughout the game and a good first-half pass from which Soldado should have done better.
  • Moussa Sidi Yaya Dembélé
    41
    20

    Moussa Sidi Yaya Dembélé

    Good positioning from the Belgian. Broke up United attacks and used his power to shield the ball and start moves.
  • Nacer Chadli
    25
    36

    Nacer Chadli

    A surprise selection on the left wing but did a decent job. Worked hard up and down the line and showed some neat touches.
  • Sandro
    74
    14

    Sandro

    Stunning strike into the top corner to score Spurs' second in the 54th minute. Always on hand with vital blocks and tackles to disrupt United attacks.
  • Roberto Soldado
    18
    60

    Roberto Soldado

    Worked hard as the lone frontman and linked up Spurs' play well - although he badly missed his only real sight on goal when he sliced off-target in the first half.

Substitutions

  • Andros Townsend
    21
    29

    Andros Townsend

    Good pace but too frantic after coming on for Lennon in the 65th minute.
  • Gylfi Sigurdsson
    23
    20

    Gylfi Sigurdsson

    Came on for Chadli with five minutes left.
  • Jermain Defoe
    17
    30

    Jermain Defoe

    Desperate to shoot but didn't have a clear chance after replacing Soldado 18 minutes from time.
  • David de Gea
    74
    38

    David de Gea

    Looked furious with his wall after Walker's opener, to which he reacted too slowly. Solid handling throughout, however, and could do nothing about Sandro's stunner.
  • Patrice Evra
    37
    104

    Patrice Evra Flop of the Match

    Not for the first time, he could not handle Lennon's pace and trickery, although the Frenchman improved in the second half. Booked for a foul on Townsend.
  • Phil Jones
    93
    36

    Phil Jones

    An assured performance in central midfield. Full of running and full-blooded in challenges. Lacked some quality on the ball despite good delivery in the build-up to United's first goal.
  • Jonny Evans
    55
    46

    Jonny Evans

    Generally solid performance from the Northern Irish centre-back. Good positioning up against the Spurs attack.
  • Chris Smalling
    36
    66

    Chris Smalling

    Looked very unnatural at times at right-back. Made some silly fouls but strong one-on-one against Chadli.
  • Nemanja Vidic
    91
    35

    Nemanja Vidic

    Completely dominant in the air all afternoon against Soldado and Defoe.
  • Tom Cleverley
    25
    130

    Tom Cleverley

    Neat and accurate passing in central midfield without looking like he could open up the Spurs defence.
  • Antonio Valencia
    68
    64

    Antonio Valencia

    Offered United an important outlet on the right as he hugged the touchline and used his pace but his final delivery was hit-and-miss.
  • Wayne Rooney
    211
    27

    Wayne Rooney Top of the Match

    Not his finest game but on hand to score two more vital goals for his side. Quickest to react in the Tottenham penalty area in the first half and clinical from the penalty spot.
  • Danny Welbeck
    36
    126

    Danny Welbeck

    A largely peripheral figure on the left side of United's attack but had a crucial involvement to win the penalty after beating Lloris to the ball.
  • Shinji Kagawa
    113
    52

    Shinji Kagawa

    A couple of glimpses of his class both centrally and on the left but never really caused Spurs many problems.

Substitutions

  • Nani
    54
    52

    Nani

    Cam on for Valencia in the 84th minute.
  • Ashley Young
    21
    99

    Ashley Young

    Replaced Kagawa six minutes from time.
  • Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez
    76
    36

    Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez

    Made little impact after coming on for Welbeck in the 73rd minute.
