Football news - The incredible stats behind Manchester United's win over Tottenham Hotspur

Marcus Rashford's first-half goal proved enough for United to take all three points back to Manchester. But that doesn't even get close to telling the story.

A string of fine saves from David de Gea played a huge role in the match, with the win seeing Solskjaer breaking records as a Manchester United manager.

Here are some of the most eye-opening stats and facts to come out of a huge Premier League game...
