Baardsen was in early action to stop Andy Cole from scoring, while the defence worked hard to deny United any chances.  Two minutes before the break, Giggs hit a shot past our Norwegian keeper two minutes before the interval, after our keeper spilled Beckham's cross and then headed a second in the 67th minute to seal the win.  

Baardsen did well to keep Sheringham's effort out and Spurs did not give up, with Klinsmann shooting just wide and debutant Nicola Berti hitting a shot just too high, but it was not enough to beat United.

Debutant Les Ferdinand forced Schmeichel into two saves, while Ramon Vega had two close attempts.  Spurs had a penalty shout denied, when Paul Scholes appeared to foul Vega in a match of few chances.  Walker stopped efforts from Sheringham and Cruyff, while Nielsen and Vega both missed the target at the other end.

Allan Nielsen's 81st minute tackle on Sheringham unfortunately took the ball straight into the path of Nicky Butt, who fired past Walker.  Tottenham's woe was compounded within 60 seconds, as Vega deflected David Beckham's cross into his own goal.

So, even though Spurs slipped to a 2-0 defeat, the Spurs crowd had something to celebrate - the fact that a penalty awarded to United for handball against Justin Edinburgh was taken by recent defectee Teddy Sheringham and he could only hit it against the post.

The two teams sat second (United) and third (Spurs) and absences had robbed both sides of regular starters.  An injury to Peter Schmeichel in the pre-match warm-up saw him struggle through the first half, but leave the action at the break and debutant William Prunier failed to adjust to the pace of the Premiership as Spurs tore into the Red Devils.

Spurs strikers Teddy Sheringham and Chris Armstrong had both been denied by the woodwork before the latter set up the former to fire home on 35 minutes.  United hit straight back though, with Phil Neville putting in a low ball for Andrew Cole to convert.  However, Tottenham went into the interval 2-1 up as Dean Austin's cross was powered home by Sol Campbell's head.

With substitute keeper Kevin Pilkington on between the sticks, Spurs continued to press forward and three minutes after the restart Chris Armstrong got Tottenham's third.  United strove to get back into the game, but Ian Walker denied them with some good stops and when he was beaten, Ronnie Rosenthal was on hand to clear off the goal-line.  It  was left to Armstrong to round off the scoring with a towering 66th minute header to complete United's misery.

Paul Stewart's second yellow card reduced Spurs to ten men, but Mabbutt flashed a header wide and Walker made a fine save from Giggs when clean through.  When Bryan Robson headed a late winner from a free-kick ten minutes from the end, it was a bitter pill to swallow when it had been such an even match.

The match attracted a smaller than expected attendance, leading to the home side claiming over £300,000 from the fund to compensate sides for people staying away to watch it at home.  They saw Arthur Graham give United a  12th minute lead, but this was canceled out in the 53rd minute by Alan Brazil's overhead kick.  However, a minute later, Kevin Moran slid in a well worked free-kick with Strachan being given the ball at the side of the wall and crossing low to the far post.  

Graham added a 74th minute header to put Man U further ahead, but Ardiles played in Falco to hit a rising shot straight after to get Spurs back in it.  However, Moran's second on 80 minutes wrapped up the victory for the home team.

Spurs battled away and kept plugging away, bravely taking the tie into extra time.  It was then that the Argentinian pair of Ardiles and Villa linked up to produce a winner.  Ricky jinked into the penalty area, laid the ball back, almost psychically knowing Ardiles would be there to sweep it into the net to give Tottenham a highly unexpected 1-0 win.

Winger Steve Coppell had put United in front after 16 minutes, with Stuart Pearson netting a second before half-time.  The second period was very different, as Spurs set about United in a determined fashion.  A goal from Ralph Coates, which swung straight in from a 56th minute corner put Tottenham back in it, while Ian Moores scored his first Spurs league goal after Naylor and Neighbour set up the opening for him.  With just ten minutes remaining on the clock, a left-footed drive from substitute John Pratt flew into the net for the winner to give Spurs all the points.

The nervousness affected United and Spurs played a freer game, with the goal coming early in the second half.  Martin Chivers' long throw deflected off a United defender and fell kindly to Ralph Coates around the penalty spot to rifle low past the keeper with his left foot.

Alan Gilzean and Neil Johnson gave Spurs a 2-0 half-time lead, with Jimmy Greaves (58 minutes), Eddie Clayton and Jimmy Robertson making it five before Bobby Charlton netted to get a consolation for United.

Greaves goal came at the end of a great move.  Eleven passes were made before the ball came to Dave Mackay to hit a pass through to Greaves.  The striker spun away from the first tackle, sprinted clear of two defenders and as keeper Dunne came out, he skipped around him and slid the ball into an empty net.

European Cup Winner's Cup - First Round First Leg

Postponed for a week because of fog on the night of the first game, a big crowd turned up for the match between two of England's glamour sides.  A cagey first half finished 0-0, but from Cliff Jones' back-heel, Mackay drilled home a shot to give Spurs the lead.

Bill Brown was on form in goal to deny Man U on a number of occasions, but the lead was doubled when Terry Dyson was alert to seize on a short Dunne back-pass, sticking the chance away for a valuable 2-0 lead just before the end of the match.

15 minutes in, Greaves pounced on Dave Mackay's half-saved shot to put Spurs one up, then a hooked shot by Medwin made it 2-0 after 28 minutes.  Blanchflower's free-kick was finished by Medwin five minutes prior to the break and five minutes the other side of half-time, Greaves slipped the ball past Gregg after latching onto Baker's pass.  Jimmy completed his hat-trick on 78 minutes and only two late goals from David Herd and Albert Quixall reduced the margin of victory.  Although Manchester United were more attack-minded in the second half, Cliff Jones' 72nd minute goal Medwin made the final score 6-2.

Our second defeat of the season arrived at Old Trafford in this First Division match.

Nobby Stiles scored the opener for United in the first half and Mark Pearson added a second after the break to seal the points for the home side.  This United win came despite the fact that goalkeeper Harry Gregg sustained an injury and came out for the second half as a centre-forward.

But the home side scored first, with Ted Ditchburn beaten by a 16th minute goal from David Pegg, who cut in from the left wing to rasp a drive past him.  The lead was short-lived, as four minutes later, Tottenham drew level with Bobby Smith beating Jackie Blanchflower in the air and taking the rebound on to score past Gaskell.  Smith was to prove too hot for the Manchester United defence and when he took John Ryden's 25th minute cross, he popped the ball over Roger Byrne's head and hit a right-footed shot pat the young Red Devils goalie.

As expected United came out for the second half pumped up and Pegg got a second goal with 60 minutes gone and then a 67th minute goal from Liam Whelan brought the score to 4-3 after he converted Eddie Colman's well-flighted free-kick.  The match ended with great excitement with Ditchburn keeping out two late Colin Webster efforts at the death to preserve the win.

Duncan Edwards cracked in both United goals at the Park Lane end.  His first was a left footed drive from the edge of the penalty area on two minutes, with the second following on 41 minutes as he fired a pile-driver past Ted Ditchburn from 30 yards.  United had to struggle on with injured players Denis Violett and Charlie Withers taking little part in the action, but Spurs could only manage a late consolation as Harry Clarke rose to head home George Robb's corner with two minutes to go, but it did prompt Ditchburn to take a throw-in to try and produce a late equaliser.

Tottenham had the lead when Jimmy Armstrong beat keeper Lance Richardson after timing his run from the halfway line past the United defence to perfection, with Spurs going further ahead when Taffy O'Callaghan scored the second with a fierce shot before the half time whistle.

Tich Handley put in a cross after the break for Jimmy Dimmock to make it 3-0 with a shot off Richardson's legs, before Billy Chapman laid on an opportunity for Billy Johnson to pull a goal back for United.  However, Armstrong struck again with a 40 yard shot that rattled the underside of the bar as it swerved and dipped to deceive the keeper and hit the back of the net  to round off a 4-1 win for Tottenham.
