Manchester United dealt a blow to Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League title aspirations with a 2-0 win at Old Trafford on Wednesday. 

United rained in 19 shots on the Spurs goal in the first half without scoring, while Harry Kane had Spurs' only effort on target in the first half in a rare reprieve for the visitors' backline.

Fred's side-footed shot deflected past Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris less than two minutes into the second half. United put the game to bed in the 69th minute when Bruno Fernandes powered a strike into the net after another excellent flowing move.

Elsewhere in Europe, Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema scored as Real Madrid extended their advantage at the top of Spain's La Liga to six points with a 3-0 victory over Elche.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored a brace to help Bayern Munich advance into the German Cup round of last 16 after seeing off resilient Augsburg 5-2.
