Spurs outclass Man United under Van de Ven's management

Van de Ven established the pace of the game by playing a perfect pass to set up Brennan Johnson for an early goal in their convincing 3-0 victory.

He said afterwards: "We controlled the game, we knew the danger of their counter attacks but our rest defence was good. For the goal, I intercepted the ball, I saw the gap and I knew I could get going.

"I know Brennan Johnson is always at the second post so I hit it hard, I couldn’t see the ball go in as I fell down the slope but I heard the away fans.

"This is a tough game at Old Trafford. Performance wise we had started the season well but we needed a win and this is an important three points. We have the quality to play with this intensity in every game."
