Manchester United defender Phil Jones has admitted the team had been "clumsy" with conceding soft goals recently -- so it was important for them to keep a Premier League clean sheet against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
United held on to a 1-0 lead against Spurs at Old Trafford after Henrikh Mkhitaryan had struck in his first home goal for the club. Jose Mourinho's team had previously tossed away 1-0 leads late on against Stoke, Arsenal and Everton this season, with all three matches ending 1-1.
Jones said: "It was in the back of my mind at 1-0, with 10 minutes to go, that you don't want to drop points again.
