Tottenham Hotspur played out a fantastic 3-0 win at Old Trafford against top-six rivals, Manchester United.

Spurs started the game off strongly, scoring within three minutes, courtesy of Welshman Brennan Johnson who has started to hit extreme heights in his performances.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off shortly before halftime, which caused a shift in the nature of the game.

Nevertheless, Tottenham still played out their attacking football and scored two more in the second half, courtesy of Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke, sealing a strong victory.

Here are my Tottenham Player Ratings from the match.

Tottenham Player Ratings

Guglielmo Vicario - 8/10

Spurs' man between the sticks played a great game away against such a tough opponent.

The Italian made a few good saves and doing so earned him a clean sheet at the Theatre of Dreams.

Destiny Udogie - 6/10

Unfortunately for the young left-back, he came off injured at half time, so he didn't get to show his full class.

However, in his 45-minute spell, he caused problems down the left-hand side and was solid in his game.

Micky van de Ven - 9/10

The second best player on the pitch today was Spurs' Dutch speedster, Van de Ven.

Van de Ven played brilliantly, defending well and creating the first goal by running three-quarters of the pitch to assist Johnson.

A deserved Man of the Match award was given to him at the end of the game.

Cristian Romero - 7/10

The Argentine was also solid at the back, defending well against Joshua Zirkzee in the first half, and helping stop any other attacking threat for the rest of the game.

Nothing overly special, however, but did his job very well.

Pedro Porro - 7/10

Porro mainly showed his class in the game in the final third, creating a few chances for the team and getting forward well.

He had very minor problems against Marcus Rashford on the right-hand side, but ultimately not too problematic as he earned the clean sheet.

Rodrigo Bentancur - 7/10

The Uruguayan handled the midfield brilliantly, showing his class once again.

He dominated his national teammate, Manuel Ugarte, who seemed lost throughout the 70 minutes he was on the pitch.

James Maddison - 8/10

Yet another key performance from Maddison, who in the last few games has regained his best form again.

Maddison created many chances and skipped past the United players with ease, and even was the one who got Fernandes sent off.

Dejan Kulusevski - 9/10

The best player on the pitch today was Spurs' number 21, Dejan Kulusevski, who showed what he can do from a central position.

Kulusevski created nine chances throughout the game, which is the most from a visiting player at Old Trafford since the 2003/04 season.

His performance was topped off with a goal, but the Sweden international captain could've had a few assists too.

Timo Werner - 6/10

Despite the overall good game from Spurs, Werner disappointed in the attack.

Werner had a few chances in the game, but his final product was very lacklustre.

Brennan Johnson - 8/10

Johnson hit the back of the net once again, making it his fourth consecutive game he's scored in now for Spurs.

Despite his confidence knocks a few games into the season, the young winger has really hit new heights and is vital for the team now.

Dominic Solanke - 8/10

Another great performance by a man who was criticised quickly by some fans over concerns about his fitness at the start of the season.

Solanke worked tirelessly to help the team out, and in doing so earned a goal for himself from a corner.

Substitutes

Djed Spence - 7/10

Spence was the player who came on for the injured Udogie, but he filled his role well despite being out of position.

The full-back defended well against Alejandro Garnacho and helped provide for the team in attack too.

Mikey Moore - 6/10

Spurs' standout youngster this season got a nice spell at the end of the match for himself.

Moore even came very close to getting a goal with a chance the narrowly missed the target.

Lucas Bergvall - 6/10

Bergvall also came on for 10 minutes and impressed well.

Bergvall has shown his quality on set-pieces for Spurs in his cameos, and he did that again by taking the corner that led to Solanke's late goal

Pape Matar Sarr - 6/10

Sarr calmed down the midfield well in the final 10 minutes.

He also provided the assist for the third, as he flicked it on from the ball in from Bergvall.

Radu Dragusin - 6/10

Dragusin may have been sent off in midweek against Qarabag, but in his short cameo on the pitch, he helped Spurs seal the clean sheet.
