Tottenham score the first goal of the season (but it's at the wrong end)

Man United prevailed 1-0 at Old Trafford.

TOTTENHAM HAVE SCORED the first goal of the Premier League season, but unfortunately from their perspective, itโ€™s at the wrong end.

After a sloppy pass from Nabil Bentleab, United broke, and while Walker got to the subsequent cross before Wayne Rooney, the English defender could only divert the ball into his own net.

Tottenham had one excellent chance before then, with Christian Eriksen narrowly missing the target with a lob following Harry Kaneโ€™s clever through ball.

However, Walkerโ€™s goal proved to be the difference ultimately, as United held on for a win on the opening day.

Is adidasโ€™ ยฃ750m Manchester United deal good marketing or good business?>

Manchester United have four debutants in their first starting XI of the season>

    The first time an own goal has been the first goal in a premier league season. Important because Football only began in 1992.

    A win is a win but it was painful to watch at times today. Definitely need a good centre back and another striker.
