Jose Mourinho has
said that United deserved to have found the net again in the home win over
Tottenham, that ended 1-0.
Mkhitaryan scored
his first EPL goal before the half-hour mark to score the only goal of the
match, giving United their first home win since September.
Spurs had the
majority of the possession, but United created more goalscoring opportunities,
with a Pogba freekick hitting the crossbar. Hugo Lloris did his part to deny
Manchester United a second goal. Nevertheless, Mourinho was glad to have
secured a win and ended a poor run of form at home.
He told Sky Sports:
“We didn’t deserve to spend the last 15 minutes with our hearts in our hands
because we did enough to score a second goal and kill the game.
“The post and Lloris
meant it was just 1-0 but at this moment 1-0 is magic because we needed these
three points.
“Everybody was
feeling that it could be more of the same. We had opportunities to score the
second goal in the first half and the second half but we didn’t score. Then we
are always at risk.”
Mourinho, who named
an unchanged line-up from the side that drew 1-1 against Everton a week
earlier, added: “I didn’t change the team from Everton to this match because
the team is playing well.
“Now we go away to
Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion. Life is not easy but we are happy with
the evolution of the team and we are happy because the players believe in what
we are doing.”
