🔥 Tottenham Hotspur fans have a reason to celebrate! Midfielder James Maddison returned from injury to score the decisive goal, leading Spurs to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United this Sunday.
After 13 minutes, Maddison tapped in a rebound from close range, ending Tottenham's 105-day home win drought in the Premier League. This win climbs Tottenham above United into the 12th spot with 30 points, giving Australian manager Ange Postecoglou some much-needed relief.
Meanwhile, Manchester United continues to struggle under the management of Ruben Amorim, who has now lost eight of the 14 Premier League matches since taking charge. United slipped to 15th place with 29 points, marking their first league double defeat against Spurs since the 1989-90 season.
Despite United's chances, including a missed golden opportunity by Alejandro Garnacho in the first half, the visitors couldn't capitalize. Amorim shared his frustration, saying, \"I hate to lose, that feeling is the worst,\" but remains confident in his work.
On the positive side, Tottenham's injury list is shrinking with the return of first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and playmaker Maddison to the starting team. However, United faces more setbacks as versatile player Amad Diallo is likely to miss the rest of the season.
As the Premier League season marches on with 13 games left, both teams eye the Europa League with Tottenham looking optimistic about a strong finish. \"We've had it pretty tough for the past two and a half months. There's a massive opportunity in the back half of the year,\" Postecoglou said.
