Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United, another Premier League underdog, 1-0 on Sunday thanks to an early goal from James Madison.
After returning to the starting lineup after an injury, Maddison ended a game in which both teams showed their weaknesses with a close-range rebound in the 13th minute.
After his team’s victory, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou felt less pressure because they had surpassed United and were now in 12th place with 30 points. United dropped to 15th place with 29 points.
Ruben Amorim’s United put on another poor showing, despite Alejandro Garnacho wasting a great opportunity in the first half.
