Tottenham Under 23s moved above Manchester United U23s in the Premier League 2 Division 1 table with a 3-1 victory over the Red Devils on Monday night.
Three goals in 11 second-half minutes ensured Spurs would take home the three points from Old Trafford.
The win sees them leapfrog United into 11th, while their league rivals slip to the foot of the table following three-straight defeats this year.
Angel Gomes started for Ricky Sbragia's side following his minor appearance against Yeovil Town in the FA Cup on Friday night.
United's U23s side play three games at Old Trafford during their season and their first this campaign looked as though it was going to be a positive result after Spurs missed a penalty and Tahith Chong opened the scoring.
United's Tyrell Warren gave away a penalty in the 35th minute but Joel Pereira saved Kazaiah Sterling's effort.
Chong, who was called up from the club's U18s side, scored on his U23s debut five minutes into the second-half after taking advantage of a Spurs' defensive mistake.

Striker Sterling did get on the scoresheet in the 70th minute to wrap up victory for his side.
