He could only strike at Lloris, who parried the ball away for a corner kick. Bruno Fernandes then went close in the 22nd minute, but again Lloris was on hand to deny the Portuguese from a free-kick effort. Casemiro then tried his luck from outside the box in the 28th minute with a slick left-footed drive which Lloris could only watch as it sped past his goal. Manchester United mustered up an incredible 19 shots to Spurs' five in the first half but just lacked the killer instinct to put a chance away.

Fred, whose inclusion in Erik ten Hag's starting XI had , netted in the 46th minute through a slight deflection after good work from Jadon Sancho.
