Tottenham Hotspur thrashed Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford to maintain their perfect start and compound Jose Mourinho’s misery.

After an entertainingly scrappy first-half, Tottenham opened the scoring when Harry Kane brilliantly headed home Kieran Trippier’s corner.

Lucas Moura then doubled the away side’s advantage, before adding a superb breakaway third late into the game.

The win leaves Tottenham joint top of the table with Liverpool, Chelsea and Watford, while United are down in twelfth with just three points from their opening three games.
