Tottenham secure their first win of the Premier League season by defeating Manchester United for the first time since October 2020. Pape Sarr notched his first goal for the club to put the home side ahead just after the interval. Lisandro Martinez then deflected Ben Davies' scuffed strike into his own his net to hand Ange Postecoglou his first victory in the Tottenham dugout. United had a couple of moments and can look back at Antony's effort that rattled the post just after Sarr's opener, but they were largely second best at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
