Manchester United cruised to a dominant 2-0 win over Tottenham at Old Trafford, a game largely defined by Cristian Romero’s first red card for the visitors.
Coming into the Premier League clash on February 7, 2026, the hosts sat comfortably in fourth place, aiming to cement their Champions League ambitions. Tottenham, meanwhile, are languishing in 14th place, desperate for points to reverse their poor form.
The game burst into life in the 27th minute when Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie was shown a yellow card. Just two minutes later, a crucial moment arrived when Cristian Romero was shown a straight red for tripping, leaving Spurs with ten men.
The Tottenham manager had to react quickly. W. Odobert replaced Radu Dragusin in the 32nd minute to strengthen the defense. However, the numerical disadvantage soon told.
Manchester United capitalized on their man advantage in the 38th minute. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring, heading home an assist from Mainoo. Amad Diallo also received a yellow card shortly before the break.

Tottenham made a change in the second half, with Destiny Udogie making way for Souza in the 55th minute. Short numbers made it difficult for Spurs to gain any real attacking momentum.
João Palhinha was booked in the 70th minute for another foul, reflecting Tottenham’s growing frustration. United continued to press for a second goal, managing the game with composure.
The decisive second goal came in the 81st minute, sealing the points. Captain Bruno Fernandes fired home, assisted by Diogo Dalot. Tottenham made a flurry of late substitutions.
