Lisandro Martinez’s evening took a turn for the worse during Manchester United’s match against Tottenham, as the defender made two critical errors in under five minutes, handing the opposition a significant advantage.

.

His first mistake occurred when he mishandled a cutback from James Maddison, inadvertently passing the ball to Dejan Kulusevski, who easily scored from eight yards out. Just five minutes later, Martinez’s troubles continued as he failed to track Dominic Solanke’s run onto a long ball. Solanke took advantage of the space between Martinez and Jonny Evans, cutting back inside before firing a low shot into the net.

To make matters worse, Martinez had previously kept Solanke onside by not stepping up to play him off, compounding his mistakes. These two errors were pivotal, contributing to Tottenham’s commanding lead and leaving Manchester United struggling to recover.
