Lucas Moura scored twice as Tottenham Hotspur maintained their 100 per cent start to the season with a 3-0 win at Manchester United.
After an even but goalless first half, Spurs took control with their first goals at Old Trafford since their win there in January 2014.
Harry Kane put them ahead on 50 minutes with a powerful header from Kieran Trippier’s corner.
Two minutes and 13 seconds later, it was 2-0, Christian Eriksen crossing for Lucas to score.
Despite the entrance of Alexis Sanchez, United could not get a goal back and Moura ran through their defence to make it 3-0.
Spurs go second on nine points behind Liverpool, while United are 13th.
Manchester United have won 21 of their 26 Premier League home matches against Tottenham. They have been victorious in each of the last four without conceding a goal.
The home club have won the last seven Premier League games between Manchester United and Spurs, a run stretching back to March 2015.
Spurs were the last team from London to win a Premier League match at Old Trafford, on New Year’s Day in 2014.
Spurs have lost more away Premier League matches against Man Utd than any team has lost away from home vs another in the competition’s history.
This was Man United's 50th home defeat in the Premier League - 32% of those (16/50) have been in the seasons since 2013-14, following Sir Alex Ferguson's departure.
Tottenham Hotspurs’ win tonight marks Jose Mourinho's biggest ever home defeat as a manager in any competition.
There were just 133 seconds between Harry Kane's opener and Lucas Moura doubling Tottenham's lead.
Harry Kane has now scored in 25 of the 28 Premier League stadiums he has played in, failing only at the Boleyn Ground, Stadium of Light and Cardiff City Stadium

POST MATCH
Jose Mourinho
“From the tactical point of view, we didn’t lose. But we lost the game.”
“But all our fans don't read papers. All of our fans don’t watch television. All our fans are more intelligent than that. They answered in absolutely amazing ways.
“I don't think it's normal for a team to lose at home and the supporters react the way they did.”
“3-0. 3-0. Do you know what this means?
“3-0. It also means, 3 Premierships and I won more Premierships alone than the other 19 managers together.”
Mauricio Pochettino
"I think it's so important because it puts us in a very important position in the table."
"I think the character and the personality of the team was to trying to find the second and the third. I think that is why we fully deserved the result and the players all the credit."
"There are always people who are working behind the scenes and it was a fantastic job because today I think Lucas deserves a lot of credit."
