Match ends, Tottenham Hotspur 2, Manchester United 1.
TottenhamTottenham Hotspur2Man UtdManchester United1
Goals from Victor Wanyama and Harry Kane earned Tottenham victory over Manchester United in their final game at White Hart Lane.
Spurs plan to have their new stadium, built on the same site, ready for the 2018-19 campaign and will play their home matches at Wembley next season.
Mauricio Pochettino's side left their current ground, where they have spent 118 years, on a high by staying unbeaten there this season and securing second spot in the Premier League.
Wanyama got Spurs off to the best possible start with a header five minutes in and Kane doubled their lead early in the second half, flicking home from a Christian Eriksen free-kick.

Captain Wayne Rooney gave United hope of a recovery when he poked in from Anthony Martial's low cross, but they were unable to spoil the leaving party.
Defeat means Jose Mourinho's men cannot now finish in the top four.
They can still qualify for the Champions League if they win the Europa League, but Mourinho will have to settle for fifth or sixth place in his first season at the club.
Farewell to the Lane
Tottenham's title chances ended last week with their defeat by West Ham, and the trophy went to Chelsea on Friday.
With a Champions League place already guaranteed, Pochettino said their final home match was all about making it a special day for the fans.
The teams walked out to a display of flags around the ground, Spurs legends including Chris Waddle and Glenn Hoddle were invited as special guests, and local musical duo Chas and Dave provided half-time entertainment.
And the Tottenham players gave supporters a first-half performance to remember.
Ben Davies' sublime cross was headed home by Wanyama to give Spurs the early advantage, and they could have extended their lead before the break had goalkeeper David de Gea not denied Son Heung-min and Kane.
Five minutes into the second half, the hosts doubled their lead. Eriksen's free-kick curled into the path of Kane and he out-smarted defender Chris Smalling to poke home his first goal against United.
Spurs' performance dropped off after that, but they managed to hold on - despite Rooney's goal giving them a scare.
Will United go out on a high?
Four of Man United's five Premier League losses this season have been in games played on a Sunday immediately after a European match.
And just like the defeat by Arsenal last weekend, a much-changed Mourinho starting XI put in an average performance in north London.
Martial looked lively in attack but could only curl his best effort wide of the post in the first half.
The Frenchman instigated his side's goal by ghosting past Kieran Trippier before picking out Rooney, who tapped in from close range.
Substitute Marcus Rashford went close at the death, but it proved to be too little too late for the visitors.
United's focus is firmly on winning the Europa League title - they face Ajax on 24 May - and Mourinho said after Sunday's defeat: "The most important thing for us now is having one less match to play.
"We have only one match to play and that's not in the Premier League."
Tottenham equal a new record
- Tottenham recorded their 14th consecutive home win in league competition, equalling their club record previously set between January and October 1987.
- Spurs have gone unbeaten at home for the first time in a league season since 1964-65
- Mauricio Pochettino is the first Spurs manager to oversee consecutive home wins over Manchester United in the Premier League.
- Man United suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats for the first time since September 2016 (against Manchester City and Watford).
Man of the match - Harry Kane
'White Hart Lane is special'
Tottenham boss Pochettino said after his side's win: "The fans have been fantastic all season. They have helped us a lot during the whole season. It was fantastic, the team played to win.
"Of course we will miss it a lot because White Hart Lane is special but at the same time we welcome the new stadium."
What's next?
Tottenham play Leicester City on Thursday at the King Power Stadium (19:45 BST), before ending the season at relegated Hull City (15:00 BST) on Sunday.
Manchester United travel to Southampton on Wednesday (19:45 BST), with their final league game coming at home against Crystal Palace (15:00 BST).

Every knowledgable Utd fan on these HS over last month have been telling us all that Utd were going to smash Arsenal and Spurs and get 3rd or even 2nd.
What gone wrong ?
Oh wait - they're all delusional, that's it.
Hahahahahahahaha.
Come on Ajax
Well done to spurs, WHL has been a fortress.
Crap Moanino n crap moan utd
Press up arrow for Ajax to Win
.
How can a team boast about going on a 24 match unbeaten run and finish sixth? That's what small club tactics get you.
But that's enough about the Manchester United players.......
Now placing everything on a competition he said ManU should not be playing in, far too lowly for them.
A truly ridiculous man.
Now just waiting for markthelegendkid and deeznuts to arrive.
Can't wait.
The first was signing him and the second was signing an £89m donkey
Qualified for the Champs lge ZERO times.
What an embarassment of a club Man Utd and their fans are.
They haven't even been good to watch whilst limping their way to 6th place and fluking the easiest run to a Euro final i've ever seen.
No longer a big club anymore.
Don't worry Manure fans, Big Sam can save you when you run into trouble.
Scratching around for a 2nd rate Euro cup to get into CL
Dull
Dull
Dull
Worse off than Van Gaal in the league, less goals scored
£300M spent
Whatever next?
Long may it continue
If the unlikely were to happen and Ajax beat Man Utd, then Man Utd as a Club are going to be a laughing stock throughout football.
If that happens they will surely have no choice but to dispense with Mourinho.
Fans will demand it.
Most United fans are not impressed with our league campaign at all. Mous only saving grace is the Europa, by virtue of the fact it gives them CL and the opportunity to sign better players (assuming we win that is, which is no given)
His tactics have been frowned upon by most of us, he will have no excuses next season when it's "his team".
