Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United 3-0 on the road in the 6th round of the English Premier League on Sunday night. After the match, Tottenham Hotspur defender Van Der Veen was interviewed by Sky Sports to share his thoughts on the game. Van Der Veen said that Tottenham completely controlled the situation in the match, and despite knowing that Man U's counter-attacking ability is very strong, the team's defense did a very good job. He specifically mentioned the first goal, where he managed to intercept a United pass, saw a gap and quickly slotted into the attack and accurately passed the ball to Brennan Johnson, who was waiting at the back post. Although van der Ven fell down the slope at the side of the field after the pass and was unable to witness the goal, he heard the cheers of the visiting fans and knew that his efforts and those of his teammates had been rewarded.
Van der Ven added that it was a tough game at Old Trafford, but Tottenham showed great strength and excellent tactical execution. According to him, Spurs have been playing quite well from the start of the season, but this victory was especially important for the team as it brought three important points. Van der Ven emphasized that Spurs have the ability to maintain this high intensity in every game and he is confident that the team will continue to do well in the coming matches.
