Ange Postecoglou's side won 1-0 in north London on Sunday night

Tottenham beat Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday, with James Maddison netting the only goal of the game to see off Ruben Amorim's side.

Both teams have endured miserable campaigns so far to leave them in the bottom half of the Premier League table.


But it was Tottenham who emerged victorious on Sunday, with Maddison scoring in the 13th minute to give his side all three points.

GB News now takes a look at four talking points from the showdown in the capital as pressure on Ange Postecoglou eased.

Earlier in the week, Roy Keane launched a scathing attack on Maddison and questioned whether he was good enough to play for Tottenham.

The former Leicester and Norwich City star, judging by his celebration, clearly got wind of what the seven-time Premier League champion said.

Maddison was delighted with his goal and couldn't resist performing a 'shushing' gesture, much to the joy of Spurs fans on social media.

While the 28-year-old can be infuriatingly inconsistent, Tottenham are better with a fully fit Maddison than they are without him. Now he's back in the team, supporters will be hoping he can be a regular.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hasn't been a great place for Postecoglou's side this season.

Yet victory over United has the potential to spark their campaign into life, especially with so many of their A-listers returning.

Tottenham will need to make their ground a fortress if they're to climb up the table and push for European football next term.

This win, certainly, bodes well and will lift the confident of both Postecoglou and his under-performing players.

Garnacho is more like Nani than Ronaldo

Alejandro Garnacho idolises Cristiano Ronaldo, to such an extent that he's even got a mural of his former team-mate at his gym at home.

But the Argentina international is more like Nani than Ronaldo.

Nani was often inconsistent during his time at United, even if he did produce some magical moments. His end product, without a doubt, often left supporters frustrated.

And Garnacho's poor finishing cost his side today, with the 20-year-old blazing horribly over the bar in the first half and missing several other opportunities as well.

Amorim left to rue wasteful finishing

Garnacho, admittedly, wasn't the only player to let United down with bad finishing.

Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee also failed to convert their chances, even if the Red Devils looked positive in attack.

Amorim's side caused Tottenham plenty of problems going forward but it all counts for nothing given they'll be going home with no points to their name.

The sooner the end of the season comes for the 40-year-old and his players, the better.
