Manchester United vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick

18 mins: Disallowed goal! Tottenham almost have an equaliser. Ben Davies makes his way up the pitch and passes the ball out to the left wing before continuing his way into the penalty area. It gets knocked inside to Son who slips a pass through the United defence and finds Davies in the box. He takes control and belts a left-footed shot past David De Gea only to see the offside flag go up late to halt the celebrations.

15 mins: That goal has given the United players a lot of confidence. They’re knocking the ball around with verve and pace, striding towards the Spurs end of the pitch.

Paul Pogba receives it on the inside left and fancies himself from range. He aims for the far bottom corner but sends it just wide of goal.

12 mins: That’s what they’ve been waiting for! When Cristiano Ronaldo was brought back to Old Trafford in the summer the fans all hoped he’d roll back the clock and dazzle them with wonderous goals. This is one of them.

United work the ball down the right and send it inside to Fred. He flicks it past Rodrigo Bentancur and finds Ronaldo outside the box but bang in front of goal. Eric Dier holds his ground and allows Ronaldo to set himself. With barely a back lift the Portuguese strikes his shot and curls it away from the diving Hugo Lloris to pick out the top corner!

Manchester United take the lead at Old Trafford.

11 mins: Chance! It’s a fantastic diagonal ball over tp Jadon Sancho on the left wing. He drops in behind Matt Doherty and brings it under control on his way into the box. Ronaldo is wide open and Sancho pulls it back to him. He shoots but Eric Dier steps up to him and blocks it. There’s a big appeal for handball from both Sancho and Ronaldo but the referee lets play go on. Dier was so close to Ronaldo, I’m not sure what he could do to avoid it.

9 mins: Cristiano Ronaldo gets his first sight at goal. It’s good work from Paul Pogba who carries the ball to the byline and holds it up under pressure. He spins and lays the ball back into the box where Ronaldo attempts to chip a shot to the far top corner only to send it over the crossbar.

6 mins: Sergio Reguilon slips a perfectly weighted ball down the left wing and Son keeps it in play. He drives inside, goes past Matic and lays the ball off to Harry Kane. Space opens up for a shot but instead he attempts to play Matt Doherty in on the right side of the box but Harry Maguire intercepts the pass and United work it clear.

3 mins: Harry Maguire steps into midfield to tackle Harry Kane and knocks the ball away from the Tottenham forward. It comes to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who flicks a pass over the top and sends Kane sprinting into space on the right side of the pitch. He recovers the ball but Raphael Varane gets across to stop him sending a pass into the box.

Kick off: Spurs kick off the match and work the ball over to the left side towards Son Heung-min. He’s pounced on by Nemanja Matic who comes away with the ball for the home side.
