What a way to win a sportsbook football match, on this night of all nights sportsbook
Sneaking over the line against a team bottom of the Premier League without a single win to their name this season would not normally be an occasion to be marked down in the history books of England’s most successful team sportsbook
But hours after learning of the death of Sir Bobby Charlton, Mr Manchester United, the manner of the success, sealed by a strike the late, great Old Trafford icon would have been proud of, was the most fitting tribute yet sportsbook
The surprise source of the stunner that earned Man United their first back-to-back league victories of the season helped make the night one those in attendance will never forget sportsbook
Emotions were running high all around Bramall Lane ahead of kick off sportsbook
Man United fans were coming to terms with the passing of Charlton, a man who transcended generations given the affect he had on everyone at the club sportsbook
“One Bobby Charlton” came booming down from the away end as an emotional minute’s applause was observed pre-match, with home supporters waiting until the fourth minute to stand and celebrate the life of Blades legend Tommy Hoyland, who passed away earlier this month sportsbook
It was not the only message Man United supporters were keen to get across, with a Palestinian flag being unfurled before being swiftly packed away, as it is in defiance of the Premier League’s attempts to ban them, along with Israeli ones sportsbook
However, it was in fact the hosts who had the sportsbook better of the early chances, with under pressure Man United stopper Andre Onana making two fine saves to keep the Blades at bay, before, with their first real attack of the match, Scotland’s answer to Michel Platini, Scott McTominay, followed his double against Brentford last time out with another, scuffed strike into the bottom corner sportsbook

Bruno Fernandes saw a free-kick come out off the crossbar before the first-half was up, with Onana again called into action early in the second, blocking well from Rhian Brewster and tipping Oliver Norwood’s powerful effort over sportsbook
As the half wore on, though, there looked like there was only going to be one winner, as Man United lifted their levels to a standard more befitting the club’s greatest-ever player sportsbook
Rasmus Hojlund saw one fixing strike well saved, before Rashford really should have scored, dragging the ball agonisingly wide from a good position sportsbook

(PA Wire)Sofyan Amrabat then sent a rasping effort goalwards that cannoned out off the post, having looked in from the moment it left his boot, only for Fernandes to then arrow one just wide from the rebound sportsbook
Perhaps that winner was never going to come sportsbook
After all, this impression of a Manchester United side are a far cry from the Holy Trinity years of Charlton in his pomp, George Best slaloming past defenders and Dennis Law scoring goals for fun sportsbook
The match needed something special, for one final goodbye sportsbook
Step forward Diogo Dalot, who could not have hit the 25-yard winner any sportsbook better, arrowing into the top corner to spark wild scenes of celebration in the away end sportsbook
It was as if he had donned Charlton’s heavy, toe-capped, leather-studded boots in honour of the great man sportsbook
And what was the first song to celebrate a crucial success? Wor, Bobby would have been proud sportsbook

Can Tottenham actually win the Premier League? Of course not, but ask Ange Postecoglou and the Spurs manager would not discourage the question, even though he would be the first to point out that it’s still only October sportsbook
It is Postecoglou’s belief, and the Australian would say it is also his responsibility, that sportsbook football fans are allowed to dream sportsbook
Spurs supporters have had little reason to get carried away in recent years but after making their best start to a top-flight season since 1960-61, the last time they won the league, now is as good a time as any sportsbook
Postecoglou could not have asked for a sportsbook better start: as the Premier League returns following the October international break, Tottenham sit top, ahead of Arsenal on goal difference sportsbook
Postecoglou’s side remain unbeaten, winning six and drawing two of their opening eight matches sportsbook
From the misery and perpetual sense of chaos that took hold of Spurs last season, Postecoglou has revived the doomed pulse of the club and its fanbase sportsbook
That, above the early look of the Premier League table, has been his greatest result so far sportsbook
Whether Tottenham’s fast start can last is one of the questions that will define the next chunk of the Premier League campaign sportsbook
There are only four rounds of fixtures to be played before the next hiatus, for November’s internationals, and Tottenham’s upcoming run – against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Wolves – is favourable sportsbook
Based on their early season form, there is reason for optimism that Spurs may be able to enjoy their view from the summit for a while longer sportsbook
Yet, a year ago, it was possible to say the same sportsbook
Having beaten Arsenal to fourth place the previous season, Tottenham started the new campaign under Conte with seven wins from their opening 10 matches, a good enough return to sit one point off the top by mid-October sportsbook
Given Tottenham went on to win just three of their next 10 and Conte’s fractious relationship with the club finally came crashing down within six months, the foundations were nowhere near as strong as they initially appeared sportsbook
Are Tottenham flattered to be in a lofty early position again? Postecoglou’s side have already played and beaten the Premier League’s bottom four, including the three newly promoted sides sportsbook
One of those wins required a 99th-minute winner at home to Sheffield United sportsbook
Another tight victory, against Liverpool, came after the visitors had the opening goal incorrectly disallowed by VAR, had two players sent off, while Reds defender Joel Matip put a 96th-minute winner into the wrong end sportsbook
Tottenham were the benefactors of the “well done, boys, good process” derby sportsbook
Yet Tottenham have also earned some fortune, and it is becoming clearer with each week of Postecoglou’s influence that Tottenham may not have picked up those points last season sportsbook
While their opening fixtures have been kind, Spurs have also shown resilience and spirit in winning away at Luton with 10 men, after Yves Bissouma’s red card, and equalising twice to earn a point at Arsenal, a fixture at which they had crumbled in previous seasons sportsbook
It was a performance that led James Maddison to declare Spurs are shedding their “Spursy” tag sportsbook

The fact the departure of Harry Kane has not yet felt as significant is another sign of how Postecoglou has managed to bring the divided sides of what appeared to be a broken club together sportsbook
While Kane has gone, there is a freshness about Spurs sportsbook
Through the impact of signings such as Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Guglielmo Vicario, the relationship sportsbook between players and fans has been repaired sportsbook
What has stood out about Postecoglou’s team has been backed up, too, by the numbers sportsbook
Last season, Tottenham were often passive and frequently easy to play against sportsbook
Even though they carried the threat of Kane, Spurs would appear to pass through games without showing any urgency or ambition; opposition teams would find it alarmingly simple to play through a static, immobile midfield sportsbook
But under Postecoglou, Tottenham have become one of the most active teams in the division, progressive with the ball and disruptive without it sportsbook
Spurs lead the Premier League in shots on goal, passes into the penalty area, forward dribbles, but also in tackles won and interceptions sportsbook
If it reflects that Tottenham now press higher up the pitch than last season, when they barely engaged under Conte, Bissouma has been the key piece in a revamped midfield a year after being frozen out by the Italian sportsbook
Maddison, meanwhile, has helped ease the post-Kane transition, a role he appeared ready to step up to when he took the No 10 jersey previously worn by the club’s record goalscorer sportsbook
Spurs will never be able to replace Kane, but Postecoglou has so far been able to negate his absence through Maddison and a resurgent Son Heung-min, who looks back to his clinical best after moving to a central forward role sportsbook
Maddison, though, has been integral as Tottenham’s creator-in-chief, with five assists so far this season sportsbook

Tottenham, really, shouldn’t be near the conversation of title challengers, but timing has played a part sportsbook
The win at Luton, which moved them top, came as Manchester City lost their second Premier League game in a row at Arsenal sportsbook
If it’s a sign of what’s to come from City this season, it was a result that widened the pool of potential challengers to include Spurs sportsbook
The manner in which City eased away from Arsenal last season, however, showed how inch-perfect title contenders must be as long as Pep Guardiola remains in England sportsbook
Tottenham, who finished eighth last year, are coming from an even lower floor than Mikel Arteta’s side, albeit with a more dramatic transformation under Postecoglou sportsbook
As a side who are still developing together, Spurs should be allowed some inconsistency, even if they are yet to show it sportsbook
The early evidence this season suggests they are one of the four strongest teams in the top flight, alongside last season’s title rivals and Jurgen Klopp’s refreshed Liverpool sportsbook
In the past, signs of promise around Spurs have often been followed by a swift yet crushing crash back to earth sportsbook
But now as Tottenham head deep into October with two winnable London derbies next week, starting with Fulham on Monday followed by a trip to Crystal Palace on Friday, Postecoglou can continue to show why this Tottenham is different sportsbook
