For the second time in the last four days Tottenham have defeated an opponent by five goals.
If against Maccabi Haifa in the Europa League the 2: 7 still settled with common sense, the 1: 6 last night against Manchester United at Old Trafford is already a different story.
Nine years have passed since the Red Devils snatched such a six at home - in 2011 it happened against Manchester City who finished the season as champions - and tonight Ola Gunnar Solskjaer's team fell apart to pieces against Mourinho's roosters who did not particularly impress in the league until tonight.
Bruno Fernandez further raised United to 0-1 on an accurate penalty after a minute, but from that moment Tottenham took control of the game.

Tangi Andumbela equalized within three minutes, Harry Kane scored a double and added a brace to league goalscorer Jung Min Sun who also scored twice and reached six goals this season, while Serge Oria also celebrated in front of the horrific United defense who played over an hour with ten players following Anthony Marcial's dismissal.

While Tottenham and Mourinho look great, the Red Devils and Ola Gunnar Solskjaer have to deal with the biggest defeat in the Norwegian manager's era and especially with the ability.
United did not kick Loris last night into the frame from the 7th minute onwards, they have already conceded 11 goals this season, and with the transfer window close to closing it is difficult to see how the current defensive squad ends a game without a serious mistake at a minimum.
