Tottenham’s hopes of winning a first Premier League title were dealt a severe blow as Manchester United ran out 1-0 winners at Wembley.
Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the game in the first half as United extended their unbeaten start under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Tottenham had several chances to score but David de Gea was in top form. The Spaniard made some incredible saves, however, some of our shots went straight to him.
Dele Alli, Harry Kane and Toby Alderweireld must be ruing their chances, but the spotlight, once again, fell on Kieran Trippier.
It was the Englishman’s misplaced pass that led to the only goal of the game with Paul Pogba smacking home a delightful ball for Rashford to chase. The United forward made no mistake as he drilled low past Hugo Lloris.
Trippier hasn’t been able to replicate his form from the World Cup, and this isn’t the first instance of his mistake being punished by the opposition.
The Englishman was at fault for a penalty we conceded against Wolves earlier in the campaign and has often been sloppy with his passing.
Many Tottenham fans were unhappy with the right-back’s performance at Wembley, and they shared their opinions on the Englishman on Twitter.
Raging from earlier. Jumped on FIFA. Loaded up my career mode. Released Kieran Trippier. No hesitation. No panic. Cold blooded. Ice running through my veins.

What a moment this was, knowing that Trippier was in a country far away and couldn’t harm my football club with his diabolical defending. Take me back 💕 pic.twitter.com/CiHKwZNkbN

There was less panic in the World Wars, than there is when Trippier’s on the ball.

Is football related but…
Trippier is shit! ⚽️

Just from the games I remember, Trippier has made game losing mistakes in the games against Barcelona, City and now United, all at Wembley. I’m sure I’ve missed at least a handful as well. Unfortunately not good enough to be first choice, specially at big games.

Pochettino the best manager in the Universe but can’t see that Trippier is utter shit! #Confused

Kyle Walker Peters produces 3 man of the match performances when he’s called upon, is home grown, bleeds for the club and still somehow Kieran trippier starts ahead of him.

Do not like to scapegoat or single players out however Trippier’s form in a Spurs shirt since the World Cup has not been good enough, continuous errors game-after-game.
Tottenham Hotspur have been at their best this season with Rose and Aurier playing as wing-backs.#THFC #COYS
