Spurs awful recor at Old Trafford continued as Man Utd eased to victory – a two nil win with a some opportunistic fortune along the way.

Nani, who is seemingly improving each game at the moment, shone and had a part in both goals. Firstly swinging in a corner for the impressive Vidic to head in. Then, towards the end of the game, pouncing on Spurs’ keeper Gomes’ mis-understanding of the rules, to score himself.

The second goal proved controversial. Nani drove into the penalty area and was brought down. In hisappeal for a penalty, he handled the ball. Thinking referee Mark Clattenburg had awarded a free kick for the hand ball, Gomes placed the ball on the ground. Nani, now back on his feet, ran from behind Gomes and slotted the pall past him. Spurs were furious, but as Clattenburg didn’t award a free kick, the goal stood.

United were worthy winners. More similar results over the next couple of months should see United in a decent position going into the New Year, when, traditionally, we really get our season going!
