Tottenham Hotspur managed to grab a pretty important 1-0 win against Man United on Sunday, all thanks to James Maddison scoring in the 13th minute. This win was a big deal because it bumped Spurs up to 12th place in the Premier League, and it's their third time beating the Red Devils this season. This win must've been a bit of a breather for Tottenham's boss, Ange Postecoglou, who's been dealing with some serious heat after his team didn't do so well in the domestic cup games and have had a rough go at the league too. On the flip side, even though Man United lost, they're still chilling in 15th place with a comfortable 12-point buffer from getting kicked out of the league.
Amorim Reflects On Struggling Man United After Defeat
Tottenham’s 1-0 victory over Man United really piled on the pressure for Man United’s boss, Amorim. He admitted that things are tough for the team, saying that "The place in the table is my worry, I am not worried about me," It’s been a rough ride for him, with only four wins out of 14 games in the Premiership since he started in November. He said "I hate to lose. That feeling is the worst. The rest I am not thinking about. I understand my situation, my job, I am confident in my work and I just want to win games." On the other hand Tottenham’s first win at home in the league since November happened with fans making some noise, but not in a good way. They were protesting against the people who own the club. So, while the team was happy with the win, the atmosphere wasn’t exactly a party.

Postecoglou Finds Hope Amid Spurs' Victory
The win totally took some weight off Spurs' manager Ange Postecoglou, especially since some big-name players are coming back from being hurt. Postecoglou said "They are quality players. We've had it pretty tough the last two-and-a-half months," It was huge for them to grab that win and start moving in the right direction. He's pretty hopeful about the rest of the season, saying, "It was important for us to win and gain some traction. I certainly feel there is still a massive opportunity for us in this back half of the season and hopefully today is the start of that." Even though United had some of their big players out, like Amad Diallo and Lisandro Martinez, they couldn't make the most of their chances. This meant Spurs could snatch the victory and keep their season dreams alive.
