With Utd looking for their first win and Martin Jol looking to keep his reputation in tact a good game was played.

Second half saw Spurs go like the clapper's with Berbatov shot being blocked in the penatly area by Wes brown with his arm, no penalty given, but replays dont lie, very bad luck to Spurs. Nani hit the winner in at 68 mins from 25 yds out a cracker. Attendance 75,696
