Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd: De Gea the star as Solskjaer passes first real test
David de Gea was Manchester United's star, as they left Tottenham with a 1-0 Premier League win on Sunday.
Match Report
Spurs lost Moussa Sissoko to a suspected groin injury after 43 minutes, and United broke the deadlock a few moments later – Pogba's exquisite long ball releasing Rashford, who found the bottom-left corner from 18 yards.
De Gea was the star, though, producing a string of saves to keep Kane, Alli and Toby Alderweireld at bay and ensuring Solskjaer equalled Matt Busby's record of winning his first five league games in charge of United.

Match Events
30' OFFSIDE! Kane's goal disallowed
Young is given time to cross from the right and Alderweireld flicks a header to Lingard at the back post. He takes a touch and tries to set himself, but he is off-balance when he strikes the ball and it sails high and wide.
44'GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd (Rashford)
Rashford gets in behind Vertonghen down the inside-right channel, takes a couple of touches and hits a low shot into the far corner.
65' Amazing save from De Gea to deny Alli
He passes to Eriksen in the middle of the pitch and the Dane surprisingly goes for a shot from over 30 yards. It's on target, but it does not cause De Gea any problems.
69' WHAT A SAVE from De Gea
Alderweireld makes a run across the near post from a corner and directs a rapid shot goalwards. De Gea does brilliantly to close his legs and kick it clear.
73' SAVE AGAIN! De Gea denies Alli's shot
De Gea saves again after an Alli shot from inside the area. Eriksen played a beautiful pass to find Alli, but his effort was far too close to De Gea.
