Serge Aurier - 3

Image 2 of 14

Back to the Aurier we know, I'm afraid. The right back was horrendous today as he showed very little on either side of the pitch. He had to be shepered defensively by Sissoko all game and his attacking display consisted of cross after cross into De Gea's hands.

Opinion

Jose Mourinho experienced an unhappy return to Old Trafford after his Tottenham Hotspur team failed to perform against Manchester United.

Spurs keeper Paulo Gazzaniga should really have done a lot better with Marcus Rashford’s opening goal after he was beaten at his near post.

The visitors drew level in fine style with a moment of magic from Dele Alli but once again were guilty of shooting themselves in the foot just moments into the second half.

Moussa Sissoko foolishly brought down Rashford and the United forward sent Gazzaniga the wrong way from the penalty spot to ensure that all three points remained in Manchester.

Spurs must now dust themselves off ready for the visit of Burnley in the Premier League to North London on Saturday afternoon where nothing less than three points will do if they want to keep within reach of the top four.
