United seemed to show intent early on in the game as Rasmus Hojlund’s snap-shot to test returning Spurs goalie Guglielmo Vicario was hit straight at the custodian, who had no trouble in keeping it out.
Spurs responded to the attack with a swift move forward of their own which culminated in the hosts seizing the advantage.
Pedro Porro’s cross into the far corner had Heung Min Son on the end of it, but the Korean’s shot was blocked by Harry Maguire before falling to Lucas Bergvall, who had his shot blocked by United shot-stopper Andre Onana. However, the ball fell kindly to Englishman Maddison, who had the simple task of slotting it into the net to send the Spurs fans into delirium.
