Tottenham Hotspur secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Manchester United on Sunday. A solitary goal from James Maddison in the 13th minute propelled Spurs above United to 12th position. The win provided relief for Tottenham’s manager Ange Postecoglou, who had faced criticism following recent eliminations from domestic cup competitions and poor league performance. United slipped to 15th position, though maintaining a comfortable 12-point gap from the relegation zone. Fans expressed their dissatisfaction towards ENIC and chairman Daniel Levy through protests before and after the match. A prominent banner stated \”24 years, 16 managers, 1 trophy – Time for change\” as supporters demanded Levy’s departure. United’s offensive struggles continued, with only the bottom three clubs and Everton scoring fewer than their 28 goals in 25 league matches. United faced their own injury challenges, with Amad Diallo joining Lisandro Martinez as long-term absentees and Kobbie Mainoo sidelined for a month. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made his first appearance since November, whilst Maddison returned to the starting eleven. Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert were available as substitutes. The match saw several chances for both sides. Despite Onana’s save from Dejan Kulusevski’s effort, Tottenham’s defence held firm to secure victory. \”It was important for us to win and gain some traction. I certainly feel there is still a massive opportunity for us in this back half of the season and hopefully today is the start of that,\” said Postecoglu.
