Party Like It's 1989

Tottenham finally beat Manchester United at Old Trafford!  Not since the fall of the Berlin Wall have Spurs beaten the most popular and valuable sports team in the world at their stadium. The final score was 2-3 Tottenham - two of the goals coming from new signings. The longtime U.S. National Team and Premier League player from Texas, Clint Dempsey, scored the winner for Spurs. The 23 year drought is finally over.

Spurs pretty much dominated the first half and scored the first two goals. The second half was dominated by Manchester United and we barely hung on.  Spurs were up 2-0 when it all went a bit nutty. Three goals were scored in as many minutes...United then Spurs then United. It was an entertaining match to watch.

The best part about the win is that the day before I had a dream that Spurs won by one goal. I don't normally dream about soccer or Spurs. But, in this case, you really can say that this result was a dream come true.
