James Maddison struck on his return of an injury when Tottenham triumphed the Premier League at home for the first time since 3 November to complete a hat trick of victories over Manchester United this season.
Midfielder Maddison bounced in slot in the 13th minute when goalkeeper Andre Onana Lucas Bergvall’s sloping ride pushed to his path, although Alejandro Garnacho sent a golden chance for the visitors high over the crossbark shortly thereafter.
The result will be the criticism of the United manager Ruben Amorim, who has lost eight and won four of his 14 league matches since he was in charge in November since leaving the sport for Old Trafford.
Spurs moved above United to the 12th, while the 20-meal champions are 15th and closer to the relegation zone than the top six.

Tottenham vs Man United: Maddison, Vicario Shine
Tottenham -Manager Ange Postecoglou has repeatedly emphasized the difference that it will make compared to the whimsical form of his side when more members of his long list of absenteeism are available.
Maddison and goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario went a way to prove the point of the Australian, because they turned out to be crucial in a first victory in eight home competitions since a 4-1 defeat of Aston Villa almost four months ago.
Vicario made a series of strong saves on his comeback after breaking his ankle in November, and there was more good news for Postecoglou on the couch, where long -term absent Brennan Johnson, Destiny Udogie and Wilson Odobert went.
