James Maddison`s goal secured Tottenham`s 1-0 win over Manchester United, impacting both teams` standings in the EPL.

Tottenham Hotspur clinched a vital 1-0 victory against Manchester United in the English Premier League on February 17, 2025. James Maddison netted the decisive goal in the 13th minute, seizing on a rebound from United`s goalkeeper Andre Onana, marking his 10th goal of the season. This win was significant for Tottenham, as it was their first home league victory since November, propelling them to 12th place in the standings, while Manchester United slipped to 15th.

Despite the loss, Manchester United maintained a comfortable 12-point lead over the relegation zone. However, the match was marred by missed opportunities, notably a glaring chance squandered by Alejandro Garnacho in the first half and a header from Zirkzee that went wide in the second half. The defeat intensified scrutiny on United`s head coach, Ruben Amorim, who has only managed four wins in 14 Premier League matches since taking over in November.

On the other hand, Tottenham`s head coach, Ange Postecoglou, found some relief from the mounting pressure following the team`s recent struggles in domestic cup competitions. In other Premier League action, Liverpool continued their dominance at the top of the table with a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, further emphasizing the competitive nature of the league.

Premier League standings now show Liverpool leading with 60 points, followed by Arsenal with 53 points, while Tottenham and Manchester United sit in mid-table obscurity.
