LIVE Tottenham 0-0 Man United - Premier League LIVE: Spurs hit the woodwork twice in a chaotic few seconds after Bruno Fernandes misses a SITTER By Max Mathews For Mailonline Published: 16:17, 19 August 2023 | Updated: 18:39, 19 August 2023 e-mail 356 View comments F ollow Mail Sport's live blog as Tottenham host Erik ten Hag's Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Ange Postecoglou's first home match without Harry Kane . Max Mathews Host commentator 18:39 GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Man United 49: PAPE MATAR SARR SCORES! THE DEADLOCK IS BROKEN! 18:38 LOVELY RUN! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 48: Lovely jinking dribble from Destiny Udogie - what a name, by the way - creates an overload on the Spurs left and James Maddison can play in Son Heung-min but Wan-Bissaka cuts out the pass. But wait... 18:35 HERE WE GO AGAIN! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 46: We're back underway in North London. 18:34 United winning the xG battle By the way, Tottenham expected goals tally from the first half is 0.53, while United's is 1.26. That means they should be ahead, really, based on the quality of their chances. Both sides crying out for a No 9. Hojlund is working himself back to fitness for United - will Spurs strengthen in that department before the end of the summer transfer window? 18:19 Should have scored 18:18 HALF TIME: Tottenham 0-0 Man United 45: That's the break! Can either side find a winner in the second half? 18:15 Double yellow for United! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 40: Confirmation of not one but two yellow cards for Man United, which will please the home crowd. Antony slid in on Yves Bissouma and didn't get the ball, correct decision. Then captain Bruno Fernandes whines about it too much for Michael Oliver's liking and HE gets a booking as well. Bruno Fernandes FPL owners like myself fuming. Could have scored a penalty earlier, misses a sitter and then gets a yellow card for nothing! Urghhhhh. 18:13 SPURS HIT THE WOODWORK! TWICE! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 39: What's happened THERE?! Spurs hit the woodwork twice in 30 seconds. Pedro Porro smashes a fine effort against the bar, then Pape Matar Sarr's cross deflects off Luke Shaw and hits the post! How is this still 0-0?! 18:10 WHAT A SITTER! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 36: HOW in the HECK has he missed that? Antony works it out to Garnacho on the left with a nice pass, it's laid back to Luke Shaw, who bends a cross in, and suddenly Bruno Fernandes is free in the six-yard box. He somehow plants his header high and horribly wide. He looks hopefully towards the linesman to see if there will be an offside flag but no, he timed his run perfectly. My Fantasy Premier League team in the mud. 18:04 Interesting game so far... A close and combative match-up so far. Not as many chances as neutrals would like, perhaps, but fascinatingly poised. Meanwhile, Aaron Wan-Bissaka gets a yellow card for blocking a quick free-kick. 18:01 SAVE! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 30: Good stop! Spurs slice United open through the middle, Son plays it through beautifully to the onrushing Pape Sarr, who shoots left-footed from a tight angle, but Onana blocks it and gathers the rebound. Encouraging signs for Ange and Co... 18:00 NO PENALTY! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 28: It's NO penalty! Probably the right decision for me. A ripple of approval sounds around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Ten Hag will probably conjure up some faux-outrage in the press conference later if they lose. As if United didn't get massively lucky with that late non-penalty against Wolves! Anyway. 17:58 PENALTY?! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 28: Romero blocks a Garnacho shot and the three United attackers go up as one to ask for handball. VAR is checking it... Replays show his right arm is up but is fairly close to his body. Would be harsh I think. 17:56 Tottenham 0-0 Man United 24: Fernandes is becoming more influential. He works it out to Garnacho, gets it back and then whizzes a through ball over the top for Rashford, but the forward is offside and the header is over anyway. Then the Portuguese star works room to shoot... but his shot is blocked. Spurs break quickly and Kulusevski bends it towards goal but Onana smothers the ball before Richarlison can snaffle up the rebound. 17:53 WOW! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 21: What a pass! Andre Onana was brought in and David de Gea discarded because of their ability (or apparent lack thereof) with the ball at their feet. Onana has already pinged a couple of wondrous passes today and he makes the best of the lot, coming almost up to the halfway line to thrash a perfectly weighted long switch of play to Garnacho on the left. Keep an eye on that - he might get an assist or two this season! 17:52 Tottenham 0-0 Man United 18: Game is getting a bit scrappy now. Maddison is furious after Michael Oliver (correctly, in my book) doesn't give him a foul after Garnacho slightly tugs him back. Then Spurs fans roar with frustration as United get a soft-ish free kick. Bruno catches Van de Ven far too high, but the Dutchman recovers to block Rashford's effort. 17:47 CLOSE AGAIN! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 13: A Fernandes worldie of a pass sets Rashford free down the Spurs left. He feeds Wan-Bissaka, whose cross is well directed, but Garnacho's first touch is OK rather than excellent and Spurs can recover to clear. At the other end, Sarr balloons a header from a corner wide. But Kulusevski gets behind Shaw again and there's another corner... 17:43 SAVE! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 10: After Tottenham's bright start, they've taken their foot off the pedal a little. United seem livelier, have a bit more tempo to their play, and are dominating possession. Van de Ven can't field a Romero pass and it goes straight out of play. Shaky... OH, it's the first real save of the day! Rashford RACES onto a through ball with searing pace and tries to poke it in from a tight angle - but Vicario gets a strong hand to it. 17:40 Tottenham 0-0 Man United 7: Van de Ven loses the ball trying a crazy dribble on the left hand side, Antony works it out to the left and Porro blocks the overlapping Shaw's cross. Two corners in a row - but they come to nothing. Bruno Fernandes is back on, by the way, after a 30-second delay. 17:38 OUCH! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 5: Bruno Fernandes is down on the turf, writhing around in agony. Not for the first time. But this time he looks to be in genuine pain after a firm but fair 50-50 tackle with Pedro Porro. He wasn't fully committed to it, whereas Porro was, and those are the challenges when you get injured. 17:35 WATCH OUT! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 2: Careful there! Pedro Porro - playing in that inverted full-back role that seems to be very much in vogue at the moment - loses the ball and Antony has a chance to shoot... but blazes over from the edge of the box. Gary Neville says: if full-backs could receive the ball on the half-turn like that, they'd be central midfielders. A close shave! 17:32 HERE WE GO! Tottenham 0-0 Man United 1: A good start for Spurs! They are pressed high and hard by United but play their way out of trouble neatly and three quick passes sees them go 80 yards up the pitch in double-quick time. It's crossed to Son at the back post, but he scuffs his attempted volley. 17:28 T-minus five minutes! A huge roar for Ange Postecoglou as he walks out in North London for the first time! 50 Premier League appearances for Dejan Kulusevski, plus four home debuts for the hosts - Vicario, Van de Ven, Udogie and of course James Maddison. 17:24 TEAM NEWS REMINDER: Manchester United Erik names an unchanged starting XI for our first away day of the season! ? #MUFC || #TOTMUN — Manchester United (@ManUtd) August 19, 2023 17:22 TEAM NEWS REMINDER: Tottenham Your confirmed starting XI for #TOTMUN ? pic.twitter.com/dNiDXjBzM9 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 19, 2023 17:14 NO place for Harry Maguire on the bench That despite having two goalies among the subs! Maybe leaving him out amid speculation over his future? His move to West Ham reportedly fell through this week... 17:08 Nice day for it! 17:06 TEAM NEWS REACTION: Man United While Erik ten Hag's side are unchanged. Two goalkeepers on the bench probably suggests the Dutchman will want an addition or two to his squad before the summer transfer window closes. Half an hour until kick-off... 16:51 TEAM NEWS REACTION: Tottenham Two changes for Spurs today. Perhaps surprisingly, the more defensive-minded Emerson Royal drops out for the attacking right back Pedro Porro despite his goal against Brentford last week, while talented youngster Pape Sarr, 20, replaces Oliver Skipp in midfield. Royal and Skipp are on the bench alongside Fraser Forster, who returns from injury to act as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario's deputy. 16:50 How can Spurs cope? It's Tottenham's first home game without this man. How will they cope without him? Can they? This is the first big test of Ange Postecoglou's tenure.
