Tottenham defeated Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford to pile more pressure on Jose Mourinho whose team now has only one win in three games.

Harry Kane put the visitors ahead at the start of the second half with a precise header.

Lucas Moura’s angled drive doubled their lead two minutes later as United’s defensive weakness were exposed again.

The Brazilian rounded off the scoring late on, skipping past Chris Smalling to plant his shot beyond goalkeeper David de Gea.

Only a fourth league win at Old Trafford in 40 years maintained Tottenham’s 100% record this season and lifted them to second in the table behind Liverpool.

United have lost two consecutive league games and two of their opening three fixtures for the first time since 1992-93.

The hosts did have their chances. In the first half Romelu Lukaku steered an effort wide of an empty goal after rounding keeper Hugo Lloris, who also denied the forward at 1-0.
