Summary
It was dubbed El Calamatico; a clash of two teams falling disastrously short of expectation in the Premier League this season. Unfortunately for us it was Tottenham, through Manchester United fan James Maddison, who found the crucial breakthrough.
In fairness to Ruben Amorim's eleven, they had little support from the bench after a series of injuries in training this week. But, the forwards failed to convert one of a few decent chances on the night; an all too familiar story (that we will look into in greater detail on Wednesday's all-new TotD Extra).
With Amad Diallo ruled out for the season we're facing up to the reality of a lengthy period of pain and suffering, all the more difficult to endure because you can't know for sure whether Amorim is the man to bring success back to Old Trafford.
