29’
Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s first Premier League goal was the difference as Manchester United overcame Tottenham Hotspur with their first win in four Premier League matches.
United were rewarded for a dominant first-half display when Mkhitaryan finished off Ander Herrera’s through-ball on 29 minutes.
In so doing, Mkhitaryan became the first Armenian, and the 96th different nationality, to score in the competition.
Victor Wanyama might have levelled after the break, but sent his free header from six yards wide.
Paul Pogba twice threatened to score a second but was denied by the bar, then Hugo Lloris.
The hosts held on, despite Mkhitaryan’s departure on a stretcher, to move within three points of Spurs, who are fifth.
