Manchester United's revival under Michael Carrick rolled on against Tottenham with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes piling more misery on Thomas Frank and Spurs.
United have been reborn since the short-term appointment of their former midfielder, whose honeymoon period continued as triumphs against Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham were followed up on Saturday lunchtime.
Bryan Mbeumo scored from a well-worked corner shortly after Tottenham captain Romero saw red for a reckless first-half challenge on Casemiro, with Bruno Fernandes wrapping up a deserved 2-0 victory against Carrick's old club.
