Dele Alli 8/10 and back to his best despite Spurs' defeat at Man United

Jose Mourinho's much-anticipated return to Old Trafford ended in disappointment as his Tottenham side were beaten 2-1 by a Marcus Rashford-inspired Manchester United.

The United striker gave the hosts an early lead when his powerful effort -- United's first attempt in the match -- bounced in front of Paulo Gazzaniga and inexcusably beat the Spurs keeper at his near post, only for Dele Alli's sensational effort to ensure the visitors were level at the break. But it was the impressive Rashford who had the final say, calmly sending Gazzaniga the wrong way from the spot to end Mourinho's three-game winning streak despite a late Tottenham rally in search of an equalizer.
