Man Utd clinch comeback win at Spurs as Cavani joined by unlikely scorer Edinson Cavani scored one goal that stood and one that was ruled out as Manchester United got revenge on Tottenham with a 3-1 win. The reverse fixture had provided one of the most stunning results of the season. A game between two sides of major quality can go either way, so few would have predicted that Spurs would thrash United 6-1. The margin wasn’t as big, but the Red Devils were looking to put that right and managed to do so. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fielded a strong side, with Cavani one of three players to come into the lineup after Thursday’s Europa League clash with Granada. Spurs also made three changes from their last fixture, with Son Heung-min among those returning. Tottenham were the first to foray forwards, as Luke Shaw blocked a shot from Lucas Moura. Son missed the target from the resulting corner. Despite the signs of a promising start, neither side managed to create many chances for the next 20 minutes or so. In fact, there was still yet to be an attempt on target by the half-hour mark. But Cavani soon changed that with a first-time finish after being set up by Paul Pogba. The goal was checked by VAR because of Scott McTominay making contact with Son in the buildup due to a flailing arm. Contact was minimal, but ultimately, the decision was overturned and the goal ruled out. Moments later at the other end, Spurs took the lead – and this goal stood. Moura slid the ball across for Son, who calmly dispatched with the inside of his foot. Son puts Spurs in the lead! The player who was fouled in the build-up to Man Utd's disallowed goal scores the opener! The drama of the Premier League!.

Edinson Cavani scored one goal that stood and one that was ruled out as Manchester United got revenge on Tottenham with a 3-1 win.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fielded a strong side, with Cavani one of three players to come into the lineup after Thursday’s Europa League clash with Granada.

Spurs also made three changes from their last fixture, with Son Heung-min among those returning.

Tottenham were the first to foray forwards, as Luke Shaw blocked a shot from Lucas Moura. Son missed the target from the resulting corner.
