On Sunday, the long-awaited 22nd round matches were played in the English Premier League.
"Tottenham" and "Manchester United" clashed at Wembley Stadium. The "Red Devils" in good spirits were not stopped and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's boys from North London triumphed with a score of 1-0, celebrating their sixth consecutive victory.
The match started with active play from both teams. "Tottenham" had control of the ball, but "United" did not hesitate to press their opponents low, preventing the hosts from developing logical attacks.
The first serious opportunity came in the 9th minute when Harry Winks broke into the penalty area and shot wide of the opponent's goal.
In the first half-hour, the teams did not shine in attack, but the match was characterized by a high tempo and intense battle. The hosts had a particularly bad end to the half, during which the only goal of the match was scored.
In the 44th minute, after a deep pass from Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford sprinted forward and beat Hugo Lloris with a precise shot to put the opponents in a bad mood.
In the second half, "Tottenham" began to dominate, but then David De Gea turned on his mode, stopping a total of 11 shots in the match.
Both Harry Kane and Dele Alli had several great opportunities to score, but the ball seemed to stick to De Gea's legs and hands like a magnet. "Man Utd" ultimately withstood the hosts' onslaught and achieved a crucial victory in the battle for the top four.
After the defeat, "Tottenham" likely ended their title challenge - the deficit to "Liverpool" has grown to nine points. Meanwhile, the "Red Devils" are tied on points with "Arsenal", maintaining their seven-point gap from fourth-placed "Chelsea".
