Standout Performers & Turning Points

• Bryan Mbeumo: The decisive touch so far — sharp movement and a composed finish to punish Spurs’ fragility after going down to 10.

• Casemiro: Central to the match’s key flashpoint; his duel with Romero changes everything, and his presence has kept Spurs from playing through midfield.

• Bruno Fernandes: The tempo-setter in United’s attacking patterns and set-piece delivery — the kind of game where one more dead-ball chance could decide it.

The turning point is obvious: at 11 v 11, United were already pressing, but at 10 v 11 Tottenham’s shape has been forced into emergency mode. The substitution at 31’ signals Spurs are prioritising survival over counterpunching, at least until halftime.
