Superb result.

Herrera motm, was absolutely everywhere today.

Mike Targaryen also immense, really hope it's not as serious as it first seemed.

Rojo was a rock back there today, really is flourishing under Mourinho this season.

Darmian was looking abused against Sissoko there. He needs to hit the weight room. But man a good win heart attacks again at the end.

Great result.

Also I really dislike Tottenham. Such a vile team and their players gets away with murder.

Rojo was absolutely immense. Henrikh and Ander up there as well.

Excellent result, time we were putting some pressure on the teams above us.

Let's finally kick on from this now.

Good win. Don't like the way we sit back and try to defend narrow leads but it worked today.

Needed that win.

Another good performance. Should've scored more. Thought Miki & Rojo were superb. Pogba also did well IMO.

Hopefully Miki's injury isn't too serious.

Give peas a chance.
Important. Means nothing if we can't get positive results at Palace and West Brom though.

Hopefully Miki isn't out for too long. Only sour note from the match today.

Had my doubts about not playing Bailly from the start, but I must concede Mourinho was great in keeping the Jones-Rojo partnership.

How the Spurs players get away with so much shit on the pitch, I will never fathom

Great win nonetheless. Hoping for the best re Mikhitaryans injury

Some standout performances. Rojo, Mkhitaryan, Herrera all with MOTM performances.

Used to really like Spurs but they're turning into pricks.

Ref was shite. Thought we played well. Darmian definitely a weak link though.

Should have won by more, at least 2 penalties should have been given

herrera , rojo, or micky could have been motm they were sensational. Herrera especially was literally involved in every single good bit of football we played.

Good win. Mourinho had to bring Fellaini on to give him confidence

Back in the hunt

We looked good whenever we played like a Jose's team (with pace and power) and yet we seemed to be willing to sit back and just soak up the pressure instead of dominating the game. It's bitten us in the ass plenty of times this season.

Jones and Rojo were brilliant, such an unlikely centre back pairing and they somehow made it work despite Darmian trying to debunk the belief that Italians can all defend.

For all of Mourinho's awful subs recently (including Rashford today), bringing on Bailly in the "run around putting pressure on" role that Zouma did well in for Chelsea was a a brilliant one.

Mkhi, Jones and Rojo were superb for the most part. I don't think Darmian was bad until Sissoko came on. Poor (well, invisible) performances from Carrick and Ibra, poor from Martial but good elsewise I think.

Feck Tottenham. Solid performance.
Hopefully Miki's injury isn't too bad.

Darmian is a truly awful defender.
Rojo looked bad at times, but moreso from being out of position to make up for Darmian's inability.
Bringing on Fellaini at the end to scare us is just mean.

Great win. Mourinho so stubborn, he was going to try this tactic ad infinitum, just to prove he can do it. Mhiki and Rojo were beasts today.
