On the evening of the first day of 2014, the last match of the twentieth round was played in the "Premier" league.
At "Old Trafford" stadium, the neighbors in the tournament table - "Manchester United" and "Tottenham" clubs tested their strength.
At the beginning of the match, the hosts played slightly better and tried to take the initiative and attack the opponents' goal.
However, the goal was scored on the other side of the pitch. In the 34th minute, with a great header, Emmanuel Adebayor led Tim Sherwood's team forward.
In the second half, David De Gea had to pull the ball out of the net once again when Christian Eriksen scored.
The "Red Devils" did not give up and soon the score became 2 - 1. Danny Welbeck stood out among the hosts.
After this goal, the "Man Utd" team started putting pressure on the opponents' goal, which continued until the end of the match, but did not bear tangible fruit - the "Tottenham" footballers maintained a fragile lead and won three points at "Old Trafford" stadium.
Starting line-ups:
"Man Utd": De Gea; Smalling (61' Kagawa), Evans, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Carrick (61' Hernandez), Cleverley (84' Young), Januzaj; Rooney, Welbeck.
"Tottenham": Lloris; Walker, Chiriches, Dawson, Rose; Lennon, Capoue (64' Bentaleb), Dembele, Eriksen; Adebayor (70' Chadli), Soldado (75' Kane).
