Tottenham
Hotspur marked their White Hart Lane farewell with a record-equalling 14th
successive home league victory, beating Manchester United 2-1 thanks to goals
by Victor Wanyama and Harry Kane. Ahead of the
closing ceremony to mark the end of Spurs’ stay at their famous ground, which
is to be reconstructed, Wanyama got the celebrations started on six minutes,
heading in Ben Davies’ centre.
The hosts
might have scored more in a dominant first half, with Son Heung-min, Dele Alli
and Harry Kane all denied by David De Gea, the striker also hitting the bar.
Kane got his
22nd PL goal of the season, and his first against man Utd, in the 48th minute,
helping on Christian Eriksen’s free-kick, although Wayne Rooney threatened to
poop the party when converting Anthony Martial’s 71st-minute cross.
The win
takes second-placed Spurs on to a best-ever 80 points, while United lie sixth
and cannot finish in the top four.
