Manchester United beat Spurs 3-1, despite having Paul Scholes sent off. Jermaine Defoe gave Tottenham the lead in under a minute with an excellent overheard kick, but Ryan Giggs stunning free kick equalised.
Anderson fired home his first United goal from the edge of the box, before Scholes saw red for two bookings.
Peter Crouch hit the crossbar, but Wayne Rooney’s solo goal wrapped it up.
Rooney’s goal was an exhibition of counter-attacking play from the 10 men and a brutal response to those wondering whether United would carry the same threat without Cristiano Ronaldo this season.
It was a thoroughly deserved victory, especially as United were forced to play for over half an hour without Scholes against a team that had won all four of their Premier League games this season.
Defoe, 1-0 Tottenham, 1 minute
Giggs, 1-1, 25 minutes
Anderson, 2-1 Manchester United, 41 minutes
Rooney, 3-1 Manchester United, 78 minutes
