Tottenham defeated Manchester United 2-0 at Wembley on Wednesday evening, and did so in front of a Premier League record crowd.
A total of 81,978 fans turned out to see Spurs beat Jose Mourinho’s men by virtue of Christian Eriksen’s early strike and Phil Jones’ own goal.
Spurs also held the previous Premier League record attendance, with 80,827 witnessing their thumping 4-1 win over Liverpool earlier this season.
Eriksen almost set a record of his own with his stunningly early goal, scored after 11 seconds, just two seconds slower than Ledley King’s goal against Bradford.
It was, however, the fastest goal Manchester United have ever conceded in the Premier League.
Spurs are now just five points behind United, who remain second, and are two behind Liverpool and Chelsea in third and fourth respectively.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino was delighted with the performance and result, which kept Spurs firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish.
Meanwhile, Manchester United, Jose Mourinho blasted his team for their shocking start to the game, saying: ‘I don’t think it’s normal to concede a goal like we did after 15 seconds.
