A high-intensity encounter between the teams placed second and third in the Premier League was settled by the small details.
You felt one goal might win it and our chance arrived on 75 minutes when Christian Eriksen picked out Dele Alli's run only for the midfielder to steer the ball wide from close range.
United won it five minutes later with a goal Ben Davies described as 'so unlike us'. David De Gea cleared long, Romelu Lukaku flicked on and Anthony Martial got in behind to guide the ball past Hugo Lloris.
A good performance went unrewarded and the disappointment was palpable afterwards.
