Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has criticised his side's defensive performance during their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley this evening.

United conceded after just 11 seconds as Christian Eriksen scored the second-fastest goal in Premier League history, and an own goal from Phil Jones took the game out of reach for the visitors.

The defeat sees the Red Devils fall 15 points adrift of Premier League leaders Manchester City, and Mourinho admitted that his side put in a "very bad" performance.

"It's a performance that starts with a ridiculous goal. That goal after a few seconds has a big influence in the game because Tottenham can play the way they like to play. In the end we played against a very good team. Both goals were ridiculous goals," he told BBC Sport.

"The first goal is an accumulation of mistakes in spite of the fact that everything happened so fast. My players have watched the Tottenham kickoff many, many times. It was a really, really bad goal. After the first goal the team had a good reaction - we were there and tried to create.

"The second goal mentally kills the team. A team to win matches needs to score goals and also defend well - on this occasion we were very bad."

United had won all five of their matches in 2018 without conceding a goal before this evening.
