CAVA BIEN
JUSTICE for Edinson Cavani, revenge for Manchester United and a near-fatal blow to Tottenham’s hope of Champions League qualification.
United had been seething with rage ever since a Cavani ‘opener’ had been ruled out because of a supposed foul by Scott McTominay on a theatrical Son Heung-Min.
Their rage was only worsened when Son stroked Spurs into the lead soon after – but a second-half fight-back earned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men a fourth straight Premier League win.
Fred equalised and Cavani netted with a diving header from a gorgeous Mason Greenwood cross as United avenged their 6-1 defeat by Spurs back in October.

ED IT IN
Five of Edinson Cavani’s seven Premier League goals for Manchester United have been headed; indeed, only Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored more headed goals in this season’s competition (six) than the Uruguayan.
McTOMINAY SPEAKS
Scott McTominay told Sky Sports: “It’s a brilliant win.
“We were frustrated at half-time but the message was clear from the manager: keep calm. That’s what he kept saying to the players, that there’s no need to panic.
“We’ve been here before, we know we have good characters in the team and good players who want to take the ball against a really difficult team.
“We have to start getting better in the first 30 minutes of games. By our standards that wasn’t good enough, but there were nothing but positives in the first half.
“The referees have to make decisions – personally I’m not a fan of VAR, but it’s part and parcel of the games.
“It was obviously a goal, the referee made a mistake, but it happens: everyone makes mistakes in life.”

MICAH’s THOUGHTS

FT: TOTTENHAM 1-3 MAN UTD
Fred got Man Utd back on level terms, tapping home the rebound from Cavani’s saved effort.
Cavani got in on the act with ten minutes left to go, meeting Greenwood’s cross and planting a diving header past Lloris.
And Greenwood finished the game off, wrong-footing Reguilon and finishing well.
Man Utd move within 11 points of league leaders Man City, and Tottenham drop six behind 4th place West Ham!
