 Barely seven minutes had been played in the Manchester derby before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United side went behind. Eric Bailly, recalled to the home side so that the Norwegian could play five at the back, wildly swung at a Joao Cancelo cross and only succeeded in diverting it into his own net.

 Manchester United have redeemed themselves for last weekend’s embarrassing defeat against Liverpool with a comprehensive performance against fellow strugglers Tottenham Hotspurs this evening. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under increasing pressure at the club amid a poor run of results, with his side being on a four-game winless run in the Premier League prior to today. Cristiano Ronaldo gave United the lead in the first half with a fantastic volley before Edinson Cavani scored his first goal of the season after the interval.

  Manchester United have doubled their advantage over Tottenham through Edinson Cavani. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer headed into today’s game knowing that Man United had to win in order to save his job. United had been battered 5-0 by Liverpool last time out. They could ill afford another negative result in North London. After a superb volley from Cristiano Ronaldo gave the Red Devils the lead, they were well-positioned to do their manager the almightiest of favours.

  It was all about the strike partership. We’ve seen two really special goals from Manchester United today, but Edinson Cavani can owe that one to Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the opener past Hugo Lloris. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needed players to add competitive edge today. He may have started with less attackers, to make sure we tighten at the back and across midfielder, but in Ronaldo and Cavani he has an experienced strike force.

Manchester United are in action against Tottenham this afternoon as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have an opportunity to redeem themselves after last weekend’s embarrassing defeat to Liverpool. Solskjaer named a similar starting eleven for the visit to Spurs but made two changes, with Edinson Cavani and Raphael Varane coming in for Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford. The change provoked a system switch, with Solskjaer deciding against going with his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation. The Norwegian’s side started the game on the front foot and eventually made their dominance pay late in the first half.

 Reece James blasted in a shot on his left foot to give Chelsea the lead, he’s now just added a second, this time on his right. It was an equally clean strike, and it flew past the equally helpless Karl Darlow in the Newcastle net just as quickly.

 Chelsea lead at St James Park! We were starting to fear it was going to be one of those days. Despite good possession Chelsea were struggling to create chances, and they had to little on the bench to change the game. Lukcily, we have THE MAN Reece James on the pitch. He just took the ball down in the Magpies box, switched it onto his weaker left foot to create space, and then blasted it into the goal.
