Europa League: Spurs Soar, Man Utd Stumble
It was a mixed bag for English teams in the Europa League this week, with Tottenham Hotspur cruising to victory while Manchester United were held to a frustrating draw.
Spurs On Fire
Tottenham Hotspur, fresh off a massive win in the Premier League, were in no mood to let up against a determined Rennes side. They put on a masterclass in attacking football, with Harry Kane leading the charge. The England captain bagged a brace, while Heung-min Son also got on the scoresheet. The result? A comfortable 3-0 win for Spurs, who look dangerous in Europe.
United's Stumble
Meanwhile, Manchester United's trip to Spain proved to be a lot more tricky. They went up against a stubborn Real Sociedad side, who were determined to get a result. The match was tight throughout, with neither side really able to create many clear-cut chances. Eventually, the game ended in a 1-1 draw, a result that will leave United fans feeling frustrated.
Looking Ahead
Both teams will be looking to improve in their next Europa League matches. Spurs, who are clearly a force to be reckoned with, will be looking to build on their momentum, while United will be hoping to bounce back from their frustrating draw.
It's a long road to the final, but both teams have the talent to go all the way. We'll be watching closely to see how they perform!
