Tottenham 1-3 Manchester United

Ashely Young's double inspires Manchester United to victory

Manchester United moved within two points of Premier League leaders Manchester City as Ashley Young's double inspired a 3-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Spurs were without the ill Gareth Bale, injured Rafael van der Vaart and suspended Scott Parker but dominated most of the first half and were denied a opener when Emmanuel Adebayor's close-range effort was disallowed for a handball.
United took the lead against the run of play when Wayne Rooney headed in the last minute of the first half.
Young bagged the second with a powerful volley from a tight angle and then put the result beyond doubt with a stunning curling effort from outside the area.
Jermain Defoe reduced the deficit late on, but third-placed Spurs have now lost their last two league games and are just four points ahead of resurgent Arsenal.
Sir Alex Ferguson's team now have eight games before then are against teams from the bottom half of the table before their fixture with City on 30 April in a derby that could determine the final location of the Premier League trophy.
