Islamabad, June 8 (http://www.pakdestiny.com) Geo TV anchor Najam Sethi has served legal notice on Dawn TV anchor Talat Husain for leveling false allegations against him.
Talat who appeared very frustrated in his show which he conducted on Bahria Town property tycoon Malik Riaz the other day he took on Sethi for his relations with Riaz.
Out of sheer frustration he directly accused Sethi of taking favours from Malik. He said Sethi's chiria (sparrow) in fact is Malik Riaz from whom he takes all the information of the power corridors.
Talat did not stop here. He said like Sethi many others anchors and journalists would try to absolve Riaz of the scam because they had a lot of favours from him.
In his 'professional' reporting Talat in his hatred of Riaz and Sethi he had established that poor Dr Arsalan Iftikhar (CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry's son) was trapped by Riaz by giving Rs400 million or more.
The poor baby of the CJ came to know his mistake after spending half of the amount in European destinations and their colourful night clubs. All evidence is with Riaz, believes Talat.
Sethi rebutted Talat's allegations in his program saying "he is jealous of me and Geo" . "Talat's program rating on Dawn TV is very low and to raise it he is taking on personalities like me," Sethi said.
Talat believes that Sethi and adviser to interior ministry Rehman Malik had gone to London to give evidence they were provided by Riaz to journalist Christina Lamb who is going to publish the real story in British press in coming Sunday.
Allah knows better that who is right and who is wrong. As, i am not in favor of Mc Carthyism, therefore thI think at allegations should not be levelled unless and untill one has evidence behind such fact otherwise the consequences are embarrassing. Otherwise, I personally hold the opinions of Talat to be more credible than Najam Sethi as Journalist.
Now, Anchor Person / Journalist are also in the game like politician. They have to bear the consequences of their choices regarding their resources of information. And it is an ultimate matter that should also come into the public knowledge.
Tallat Hussain doesn't need people like NS to gain the popularity. He's widely know for his credibility and impartiality. Had he been looking up for any fake fame, he could have done this after he returned from flotilla but he never did so. And then there are several events in journalism where he stands among the most matured and authetic analysts. So , it's just spontaneous and failed argument put by NS and alliance.
This legal notice is nothing more than a drama, an eye wash. Facts can't be denied by sending mails by fake IDs.
Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone from Warid.
Pls watch todays (08-06-2012) News Night with Talat as well to understand his version. I hope Talat will establish another classical trend of all journalist.
What right did Talat have to say that najam's chiriya is malik riaz and that najam takes favours from malik riaz? He provoked najam to retaliate. And whats is the point of giving his bank account details?
Dear Khan, you have rightly pointed that bank accounts of Najam Sethi should be scanned. iwould rather demand from supremen court to trace banks accounts of all such media people and find out what kind of chirriya they have. Where is the audit of SAFMA for the last many years?
I agree with you and if this practice will start than every thing will come Transparent, along with this the back ground of the media persons as they working in past and the assets as they were in hands before 1998, and present status according to the assets i mean.
there many journalists as they are working Hard but getting very nominal pay while some are making the table stories and are just Lobbyist which has been converted in a Mafia.
DAWN has good policy and have history in journalism.
I am shocked the way Talat Hussain wrote an article on his website saach.tv….being a journalist he has no right to say that Malik Riaz does not know English and mock him for being uneducated. Sorry to say but Talat you utterly disappointed me as a person who always admired your ethics. If Malik Riaz is the bad guy there are other decent ways to prove him guilty.
What Talat Hussain did wrong ? Najam Sethi is Munafiq Journalist, and Talat show his face. Talat Hussain should come farward and Tell all Journalists name those envolve in curruption and tout of Malik Riaz.
There are a lot of things about Talat Hussain's attitude and personality, if you get to know them personally, you will be more shocked.
A successful anchor does not always mean a 'good' person.
Without going into NS/TLt controversy , let me tell you NS's CHIRYA is not only MR.
Coming back to arslan iftikhar that he was trapped, my dear Talat, is Arslan is a school child? He doesnt know , he is son of the Chief Justice, CJP did not know the sudden change in his lavish life style? His son who was a salaried person , how his assets went sky height, how a father could not know that is son is playing in millions? there are unconfirmed reports and needs to be investigated, that Arslan after his foreign trips brought 483 suit cases/ containers were transported to CJP official HOuse from ISb airport and without any custom duty, ISB Airport had the record of this (transportation), Did CJP asked his son the source of this bagage?
A very simple question to all of you , WHAT WOULD BE YOUR REACTION IS YOUR SALARIED SON TURNED INTO A BILLIONAIER OVER NIGHT OR OVER MONTHS? WOULD YOU ALL ASKED THE SOURCE OF THIS WEALTH? IF NOT IT MEANS YOU ARE THE PART N PARCEL OF THIS WEALTH?
Mr. Najam Sethi, when u declare ur assets and when u tell truth abt ur Relations with SAFMA and India, US ?
Can u tell what job ur daghter doing in US ? Why u living mostly in US and UK ?
Talat Hussain shb did very nice prgm, he tell reality of Najam Sethi. Talat Hussain is brave man, thats why he shows his ASSETS, and he is Real Analyst & Anchor. Now Najam ur turn.
Ahmed , this could be true for anyone. I know Talat Hussain since three years and have worked very closely since then. I found him the most noble not just in journalist community but also as a human being. Better not drag the discussion to wrong ends.
I have a feeling Najam Sethi is about to eat his words.
What words would najam be eating?
He said talat worked for Stratfor and according to Wikileaks its a front for the CIA. One can make the case that wikileaks is inaccurate in depicting Stratfor as a CIA front but why would that be against najam? The Pakistani media had a field day when initially the wikileaks implicated pakistani political leaderships so they cannot now say that was right and this is wrong.
On the otherhand Talat stating that najam chiriya is infact malik riaz and that najam personally used malik riaz is impossible to prove and hence is crap journalism. Divulging his bank accounts and other assets is just a ploy – does not mean anything.
Talat Hussain showing his "ASSETS". He probably does not know in which context this word is now being used by English-speaking people. God forbid that day when Talat Hussain does that in his TV shows and invited more legal notices.
You started your adventures as a communist; please share with us, when did you turn into a capitalist?
While you are at it, please share with us how you were selected, along with few others, by the infamous KGB from Oxford? Then please go over, you how were fighting against the state in Balochistan? Readers will also love to hear your version of how you stabbed Jhonny Dass in the back by abandoning him, which lead to his death? I hope Army still has a record of your arrest from Balochistan (1973-74).
Patiently waiting for your response.
What a pity we are learning the credibility of our so called famous journalists who are throwing their dirt on each other. In a way it is good for the common people of Pakistan to learn the truth about their beloved journalist rather ……….
Why 95% of the opinion program host on TV are from Punjab?
Why PTI 98% leadership are from Mianwalli, Lahore, Multan and Islamabad. We must call it Punjab Tehseel Inn Party!
Starting from Chief Justice Supreme Court , Malik Riaz, Arsalan and all the corrupt journalist are from Punjab! Why is that? I just wonder!

CalArts President Steven Lavine to step down in 2017.
Earlier today (June 24), CalArts Chairman of the Board of Trustees Tim Disney and President Steven D. Lavine announced that Lavine will step down from his current position in May 2017, after an unprecedented 29-year tenure. For the next two years, President Lavine will focus on key initiatives that will serve as the capstone to his CalArts career. The announcement also gives the Institute's trustees ample time to conduct a thorough, worldwide search to find a new CalArts leader who will shepherd CalArts into the future.
Helping CalArts become one of the most ethnically and racially diverse art schools in the United States, with students now coming from 40 countries worldwide.
Tripling the Institute's annual fundraising and growing its endowment by 476 percent since 1988. Major endowment gifts have led to the naming of The Sharon Disney Lund School of Dance and The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts.
Envisioning a CalArts presence downtown, Lavine led the effort to build the internationally renowned Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater (REDCAT), which opened in 2003 in the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Founding CalArts' Community Arts Partnership (CAP), an award-winning national model that brings the arts to underserved students throughout Los Angeles.
Spearheading a $42 million campaign to rebuild CalArts after the 1994 Northridge earthquake disaster, reopening the campus in just eight months.
Opening the new Patty Disney Center for Life and Work, which offers innovative approaches to students and alumni making lifelong careers in the arts.
Adding innovative programs and resources in technology, as well as a Doctor of Musical Arts degree for Performer/Composers in The Herb Alpert School of Music.

Pure unadulterated sweet sticky maple syrup in a sugar shack in Quebec, it doesn't get more Canadian than this. And seeing the price it fetches on the world market these days many insiders consider the naturally made product as the new liquid gold. At last count, a barrel can obtain $1,800 compared to $57 on average for a crude oil barrel.
Quebec's sugar shacks are as Canadian as poutine, ice hockey and Celine Dion. Visiting a sugar shack in Quebec is one of the things to do in Canada not to be missed and sugaring off is a thriving Quebec tradition.

Simply take a road trip and visit one of these sugar shacks in Canada's largest maple syrup producing province of Quebec to see for yourself.
The province's maple syrup watchdog, the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, boasts over 7,000 producers scattered across Quebec.
To boot, a precious few cabanes a sucre (sugar shacks) are even older than Canada!
As blankets of snow cover the picturesque countryside across this French-speaking province (English is spoken in the bigger hubs like Montreal and Quebec City), sugar shacks are aiming their sights on milder days when the life cycle of the sugar maple tree resumes and the sap starts flowing.

Typically the prime time in these parts is March through April but with the frigid cold blast this winter it's anyone's guess on the start of the harvest season.
Yes, Mother Nature rules the sap flow.
But in the meanwhile, we can all prepare to smack our lips together on the upcoming sweet syrup that'll hopefully soon flow.
Still, you'll find some sugar shacks are open year-round, as many establishments stage old-timey shows celebrating the world of syrup.
Here's where to enjoy the best sugar shacks in Quebec.

One of the last bastions of maple groves on the island of Montreal, this 245-hectare forest reserve which is part of McGill University offers a two-hour guided tour with a detour to the sugar shack.
Whisk into the grove via a lively sleigh ride and head to the sugar shack to learn the traditions behind tapping the sap.
Sampling taffy on snow along with other fare at Morgan Arboretum is one of the fun things to do in Montreal.

Sucrerie de la Montagne has been attracting crowds for over 30 years.
Call it a calling.
Former meeting planner Pierre Faucher decided to try his hand at building an attraction, planning events and enticing the masses.
He switched gears and left the corporate rat race.
He purchased land near his hometown and laboured for 12 years building wooden framed structures.
"I built it with my own hands," he says humbly.
It's the Sugar Shack of sugar shacks and has been lauded by publications like The New York Times and National Geographic Traveler.
Faucher makes around 400 gallons of the sweet sticky stuff annually.
His newest product is a maple syrup-infused cologne, which has the potential to compete with French perfumeries.

And why not?
The idea occurred after an accidental meeting.
While visiting his establishment, a perfume maker from the French Riviera just happened to overhear Faucher describe the technique behind maple syrup production.
This technique involves lots of aromatic vapour seeping into the air.
A eureka moment occurred and Faucher went to Grasse in France to check out the perfume factory.
He found a new partner and if this latest venture is anything like his beloved sugar shack, these petites bouteilles could be another crowd pleaser.
Faucher plans to donate proceeds from the sales toward Alzheimer's research.
Sucrerie de la Montagne is at 300, Chemin St Geroges, Rigaud, Quebec in the Monteregie region, which can be visited as a day trip from Montreal.

In the heart of an ancient maple grove about 20 minutes' drive west from Quebec City you have arrived at the fabled King's Road country "Chemin du Roy" which holds its own lore and distinction.
The historic road on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River was once considered the longest road in existence when completed in 1787 (280 km).
Today curious maple syrup foragers who travel this country road can stop at the Erabliere le Chemin du Roy for a real treat.
During sugar maple production season you can watch the age-old technique.
However, off-season also has its perks.
The old cabane à sucre is open year-round for lunches and short 20-minute guided tours.

The menu is traditional rib-sticking fare smothered in maple syrup.
Enjoy traditional Canadian foods, such as a steamy bowl of French Canadian pea soup and homemade bread.
Try the traditional Québécois meat pie drizzled with more maple syrup, and try the maple smoked ham and pancakes with maple syrup among other tasty delights.

Don't let the petite size of the 300-year-old sugar grove fool you either.
This boutique place has 1,300 tappings and come maple syrup season there's a sweet smell in the air.
Érablière le Chemin du Roy is at 237, Chemin du Lac, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Quebec.
Discover Canadian maple syrup heaven at this amazing Quebec sugar shack
An hour west from Quebec City along the ancient St. Lawrence River in the quaint Mauricie region lies a historic family-run establishment that predates Canada as a nation.
The family-owned Sucrerie Jean-Louis Massicotte et filles has been in the sugar shack business since 1710.
Picture 10 generations incorporating traditional maple syrup methods used by their ancestors.
The current proprietors Gaétan Massicotte and Monique and their staff and volunteers dutifully collect the maple sap by horse-drawn carts or snowshoes and pour the gold nectar into aged oak barrels.
Arrive at this historic site with its quaint Quebecois red and white cabin in the woods and discover the early traditions which incidentally involves the renowned Quebecois hardy lunch prepared on a wood stove.
The setting is purely authentic, no electricity and guests are encouraged to bring along their own musical instruments.
Don't have any?
Don't worry.
There's always the fun, quirky jigs you can master with a pair of musical spoons.

The family is crossing the fingers on this year's yield and are anticipating opening its doors on March 15, the old Ides of March.
Sucrerie Jean-Louis Massicotte et filles is at 101, Route 159 Nord, P.R. St-Prosper (Champlain), Quebec.

In the deep white north far from the streets of Montreal in the region of Lanaudière there's a guy who's combined his love of the outdoors and maple syrup in an out-of-the-box concept, the old-fashioned way.
Maple syrup foragers travel by sled dog with the help of draught horses for this traditional maple syrup production outing created by kinesiologist Peter Boutin of Kinadapt.
Folks head into the pretty snows cape deep into the sugar maple groves and when the guides feel the setting is right it's time to step off the dog sled and resume the jaunt via snowshoes.
Amid a picturesque winter in Quebec scene, it's time for the traditional maple sap collection led by your trusty guide.
This hands-on outing helps you identify and tap the maples as you learn the ins and outs of maple syrup production.
In between the sap-to-syrup steps expect samplings.
The finale happens at the end of a full day when you head back for a traditional sugar shack meal.
Travelling with a pack of sociable, tail-wagging Siberian and Alaskan huskies definitely helps create a memorable ambiance.
There are outdoor activities too, when visiting a sugar shack in Quebec. Photo: Greg Huszar Photography

My trip to the Sucrerie de la Montagne, Regaud, Quebec, with Diamond Tours was very disappointing. Our group must have been the last of the evening because food was very limited. Potatoes and baked beans served in cereal bowls with no refills to feed the 10-12 people at our table. Soup was about one half cupful. Asked for hot tea; the tea pot was empty when it got to me. Again, no offer of refill. Group was leaving when I asked about dessert. Was told it was outside – a stick dipped in maple syrup and rolled in crushed ice to set. It was about the size of a jelly bean! Yes, I tell everyone of my experience.

Students Encourage Open Discussion About Sex
By Nathalie R. Miraval, Crimson Staff Writer February 29, 2012
Sarah likes it when her hands are tied to the bedpost and a bar is secured between her knees, spreading them apart. During sex, her boyfriend dominates her roped body as she happily calls him "sir" and "master." She asks her boyfriend to objectify her and call her derogatory terms.
For Sarah, whose name has been changed to protect her privacy, the pain from the ropes is not what turns her on. Sarah is kinky, which for her means enjoying losing control of the situation, and even control over her own body.
Within the kink community, Sarah identifies as a "sub," short for submissive, and she thinks it's hot when her body's movements are in someone else's hands. She says having kinky sex allows her to escape "from the pressures of having to be this Madonna-whore thing, where I'm supposed to know what I'm doing but I'm also not supposed to want to do any of it."
Sarah says she openly discusses these desires with Harvard peers who have similar kinks during "munch," an informal lunch meeting for kinky people.
Sarah and other members believe participating in and discussing kinky sex is a way to deconstruct what they dub the "sexual script": making out, taking off clothes, having intercourse, and going to sleep. For them, it peels away the taboo cloaking students' ability to freely analyze and critique rules about sex.
Last semester Michael, whose name has been changed to protect his privacy, noticed that he was having the same conversations about kinky sex with different people. He knew that munches are hosted in the kink community at large, and decided it would be a good idea to bring these students together over lunch. He began organizing events for kinky Harvard students and is currently in the process of trying to form a recognized student group.
Michael says there are twenty students on the fledgling group's email list, and that most members' kinks fall on the BDSM spectrum—an initialism that stands for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism.
"Or, as my crude definition states, it's tying people up, telling them to do stuff, and hitting them with things," Michael says jokingly.
Justin J. Lehmiller, a lecturer in Harvard's psychology department and a sex columnist, says that this is a normal part of human sexual expression. He says he believes that students should learn about the diversity that exists in sexual behavior.
"People are by no means limited to performing one sexual act," Lehmiller says. "People like to pretend that [kinky sex] doesn't happen, but the reality is that it does."
But the members' interests do not encompass the broad spectrum that is kink. Indeed, the word "kinky" means to participate in unusual sexual behavior which, Michael explains, can entail anything from having sex in a location other than the bedroom to having a fetish. A fetish, while may be part of a kink, refers to an obsession with a particular object, idea, or body part conventionally not viewed as sexual.
Michael identifies as a "dom," short for dominant. He likes to be the one tying the ropes, talking dirty, and "punishing" his partner. Jill, a student who regularly attends munch and whose name has been changed to protect her privacy, says she's a sub and has had rape fantasies since she was young.
Kinky people also include furries, who, according to Michael, dress up or identify with anthropomorphic animal figures "either as a lifestyle thing or as a sexual product."
There are also "eaters and feeders" who derive pleasure from, as the name suggests, eating and feeding. But interaction can be more than simply feeding your partner chocolate covered strawberries and can entail force-feeding or feeding someone with the intention that they will gain weight.

Every family has its quirks and demons, but some moreso than others—and some might have one demon in particular.

Ndombele goal 'amazing' and he proves my door is always open - Mourinho
Jose Mourinho says Tanguy Ndombele is a prime example that "the door is always open" for players to come in from the cold after the midfielder scored a sublime goal in Tottenham's win at Sheffield United.
Ndombele endured a disappointing first season at the London club following his big-money move from Lyon, scoring just two goals and providing four assists in 29 appearances.
The French midfielder has shown what he is capable of in the current campaign, finding the back of the net four times and laying on three goals across all competitions for a Tottenham side battling for honours on all four fronts.
Ndombele produced a moment of magic with a clever lobbed strike to score his third Premier League goal of the season – his best tally in any league campaign - in a 3-1 victory at Bramall Lane on Sunday, with Serge Aurier and Harry Kane also on target.
The classy Ndombele made 38 passes in the Blades half, more than any of his team-mates, and misplaced only nine of his 78 passes in the match, also winning 75 per cent of his duels and making three interceptions in an impressive all-round display.
Dele Alli and Harry Winks were not in the squad for the clash with the bottom-of-the-table Blades, while Gareth Bale was not called upon from the bench, but Tottenham boss Mourinho pointed to Ndombele as proof that there can always be a way back for out-of-favour players.
"I have coached for so many years, had so many players, and I have enough experience to say and to feel that when a player is not playing very well, it's his responsibility, and when a player turns things around and brings his performance level to a very high level, it's also his responsibility," said Mourinho.
"It's a great example that with me the door is always open. The door of the team is always open, and when a player is not playing he has to try to understand why and he has to try to understand how can he walk through that door. He understood, he understood.
"The goal is amazing, but I don't care about the goal, I care about the performance and the performance was magnificent and I'm really pleased that he's come to this level. He's playing very, very well."
Spurs are unbeaten in seven games and four points behind leaders Manchester United, who drew 0-0 with champions Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, and Mourinho says it is all to play for.
"We have to do our season, we have to play our matches. We are in four competitions, we have a final [against Manchester City in the EFL Cup] to play," he said.
"Unfortunately we cannot do that [showdown with City] next month, we have to wait until end of April, we are going to fight in Europa League, we are going to fight in the FA Cup, we have a lot to take.
"I think at the end of the season, with the right results, you realise how good your season was, how better it could be, how worse it could be, and where you can improve."
Kane marvels over 'incredible' Ndombele moment of magic in Spurs win
Harry Kane marvelled over a "truly special" goal from Tanguy Ndombele in a "fantastic" display from Tottenham as they beat Sheffield United 3-1 at Bramall Lane.
Serge Aurier headed Spurs in front in the fifth minute and Kane clinically doubled their lead late in the first half with his 19th goal of the season late in the first half on Sunday – the sixth time he has scored from outside of the area in the league this season.
David McGoldrick appeared to have got the bottom-of-the-table Blades back in it with a header just before the hour mark, but Ndombele nonchalantly beat David Ramsdale with an exquisitely lob as he ran away from goal inside the penalty area three minutes later.
There was no way back for Chris Wilder's side as Spurs moved into fourth place in the Premier League, although Manchester City have the opportunity to move back above them when they take on Crystal Palace later in the day.
Kane hailed Ndombele after the French midfielder scored his third goal of the season – his best tally in a league campaign – in sublime fashion.
The Tottenham talisman told Match of the Day: "It was a fantastic performance from everyone today – started really well, aggressive with our press and were clinical to go 2-0 up. Even in the second half, when they scored, we didn't panic. Tanguy scored a fantastic goal and we saw the game out well, which we haven't done in the past few weeks."
He added: "Tanguy's goal was incredible, the technique he had to flick that ball back over the keeper was truly special.
"There were a couple of chances I could have done better with, the most important thing is winning games. Anyone who can put a good spell together [can stay in the title race], that's why it has been disappointing and frustrating for us dropping points from winning positions."
Spurs, who have dropped 10 points from winning positions this season, have been criticised for seemingly shutting up stop to try and protect slender leads on several occasions, but Kane said boss Jose Mourinho should not take any blame for that.
"It's never been the manager saying that [they should sit back after going in front] it's been us on the pitch having a mentality where we want to drop and hold on to to the win," the England captain said.
"The most important thing is us as players to go and take responsibility, and we did that today."
Mourinho gets his wish as Spurs find second-half solution
For 172 seconds on Sunday, it appeared that Tottenham's second-half frustrations could be set to continue.
Serge Aurier and Harry Kane had put Jose Mourinho's team in complete control at Bramall Lane – where Spurs lost 3-1 last season – but David McGoldrick's header in the 59th minute hauled one back for lowly Sheffield United, hunting just their second Premier League win of the season.
Spurs have dropped 10 points from winning positions this season, and Mourinho has previously cited a lack of "desire" and "ambition" after the interval as reasons for his side failing to hold onto results against Fulham last time out and Wolves on December 27.
However, within three minutes of McGoldrick giving the Blades hope, Spurs struck back.
Steven Bergwijn prodded a ball in behind the hosts' defence, and the industrious Tanguy Ndombele turned on the style to lob a sublime finish over the hapless Aaron Ramsdale and all but seal the points.
Mourinho, asked before the game if his team sat back and invited pressure in the second half of matches, told Sky Sports: "My reaction is to say that is completely true.
"What is not true is that in the second half, we do what I ask the players to do. It's true that we have lots of chances to win matches in the first half, we are not scoring enough goals in relation to what we do and then in second halves opponents dominate us and it looks like we are accepting that dominance, and we pay the price for mistakes we make defensively.
"I agree totally, but that is not what we want to do. What am I telling them at half-time? Play attacking football, be dominant, do not accept dominance [from the opponents]."
Across their 17 league games prior to Sunday's clash, Spurs had scored just 11 of their 30 goals in the second half.
However, despite Mourinho's claims, it had not been for a lack of trying. Their tally of 103 shots in the second period of matches was 10 more than they had accumulated in the first half of games.
Of their attempts, 40 had been on target, at an average of 2.35 per game, with 38 off target and a further 25 blocked.
Spurs had, on average, played 11.7 passes per match into the penalty area after the break in their opening 17 games, creating 76 chances in total, with 17 of these opportunities counting as 'big chances', according to Opta.
Once again, these numbers are close to their first-half equivalents – some higher, some lower – but there was no doubting Spurs seemed to have hit a mental block when it came to seeing out leads.
Perhaps aided by a lack of cutting edge from a blunt Blades team, Tottenham managed to overcome that hurdle.
They only managed two attempts on target in the second half – slightly below average – but unlike Son Heung-min against Fulham last time out, Ndombele took his chance.
Their second-half passing accuracy was also up on the early-season average of 78.49 per cent, with Spurs completing 83.4 per cent of their passes after the interval at Bramall Lane.
A duel success rate of 57.4 per cent after the break was also higher than their 17-game match average (47.21), suggesting Spurs were more aggressive in their individual battles – a statistic which will satisfy Mourinho's clamour for "dominance".
Spurs fed on their opponents' weaknesses on Sunday, and though they ultimately managed only 14 attempts compared to United's 15, they displayed the clinical nature which had fans dreaming of a title challenge earlier in the campaign.
With the top of the table so congested, Mourinho's men cannot be discounted if they have finally found a way to rediscover a much-needed ruthless streak, though they must now ensure it is not another false dawn.
Sheffield United 1-3 Tottenham: Kane on target and Ndombele scores stunner in Spurs win
Harry Kane scored his 19th goal of the season and Tanguy Ndombele struck with a sublime finish as Tottenham beat bottom of the table Sheffield United 3-1 on Sunday.
Jose Mourinho's side were held by Fulham in midweek, but secured all three points at Bramall Lane to go fourth in the Premier League - although Manchester City could go back above them when they face Crystal Palace later on Sunday.
Serge Aurier opened the scoring with an early header and Kane added a second to put Tottenham in command at half-time.
David McGoldrick halved the deficit, but Ndombele scored one of the goals of the season to give the London club breathing space as they extended their unbeaten run to seven games and left the beleaguered Blades on just five points.
Spurs were rewarded for starting so positively when Aurier capitalised on slack defending by nodding in a whipped corner from Son Heung-Min inside five minutes.
Son ought to have doubled their lead when he dinked the ball over Aaron Ramsdale, but struck the outside of the post after being sent clear by Kane.
Kane was causing the Blades all sorts of problems and the captain put Tottenham two up with a clinical finish five minutes before the break, turning sharply as he took a pass from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and beat Ramsdale with a measured right-foot strike from 20 yards out.
Ramsdale denied Kane a second goal when he tipped the striker's rasping long range drive over the crossbar early in the second half.
The Blades were back in it just before the hour mark, with McGoldrick heading home John Fleck's inviting cross, but Ndombele restored Spurs' two-goal advantage with a moment of magic three minutes later.
Steven Bergwijn played a one-two with the French midfielder, picking him out with a clever chipped pass, and Ndombele found the far corner from inside the penalty area with a cheeky flicked lob running away from the goal.
Kane blazed over the bar at the end of a slick Tottenham move in stoppage time, but the victory had long been wrapped up by then.
The gloves are off – Bruce blasts Newcastle players after 'absolutely s****' Sheffield United performance
Steve Bruce unleashed a furious assessment of his Newcastle United players, branding their performance at Sheffield United "absolutely s***" and declaring "the gloves are off now".
The Magpies were beaten 1-0 at Bramall Lane on Tuesday to become the first team to lose to the Blades in the Premier League this season.
They were also the first side to fail to score against Sheffield United in the top flight since July as they lost to a team starting the day bottom of the table for the first time since October 2015.
Bruce has come in for increasing criticism from fans for his team's performances during an eight-game winless run in which they have exited the EFL Cup and FA Cup, as well as suffering four league losses.
The Newcastle head coach accepts he got things wrong against Sheffield United but claims some critics have always felt he was "never the right choice".
After their latest setback, Bruce has made it clear he will not tolerate anything but a commitment to his methods at St James' Park.
"I've let them be comfortable," he said of his players. "But, like I say, the gloves are off now and we will do it my way. We've played a certain way to try to get the results we need.
"We were absolutely fr****** hopeless the other night; we were absolutely s****. Unfortunately, that's happened a little too often in my 18 months here; it was nowhere near good enough for the challenge ahead. Maybe it's a mentality thing.
"If you're a Premier League manager you can't accept what happened at Sheffield United. We were completely and utterly hopeless and I have to accept what's coming my way. If I was a supporter I'd be concerned."
While the loss to Sheffield United was the nadir of their season, the signs have been worrying for Newcastle for some weeks.
Much of the criticism of Bruce has centred on a perceived negative style of play, with Newcastle having averaged the lowest possession (37.8 per cent) and completed the second-fewest passes (4,430) in the Premier League this season.
Only Burnley and West Brom have attempted fewer shots than Newcastle's 150, which have yielded 18 goals, the fifth-lowest total in the division. Only five teams have conceded more than their 27 goals and just three have kept fewer than their three clean sheets.
"I wouldn't expect to be reassured after the other night," Bruce said of his position. "I pick the team, I got it wrong and I have to take responsibility. I don't want reassurances. I understand it's nowhere near good enough so let's get ready for the challenge ahead.
"If you look at my record over the years, I've got enough on my CV to make sure I can slowly take the club forward. Some would argue against that. I accept that. In some people's eyes, I was never the right choice. I understand that."
Sheffield United end Premier League's longest winless start with victory over Newcastle United
Sheffield United picked up a 1-0 win against Newcastle United to snap the longest ever wait for a victory at the start of a Premier League season.
The Blades had failed to win any of their opening 17 top-flight games this season, losing all but two of those without keeping a clean sheet in any.
Chris Wilder's men were winless in 20 games in the competition stretching back into last season, but they finally got off the mark against Newcastle on Tuesday.
Substitute Billy Sharp converted from the penalty spot 17 minutes from time for his 100th league goal for the club and Newcastle, who had Ryan Fraser sent off in the first half, could not respond.
The south Yorkshire club's 18-game wait for a win at the start of the season is the second longest in English top-flight history, behind only Bolton Wanderers (22 games in 1902-03).
Only Derby County (32) between September 2007 and May 2008, meanwhile, have gone longer between wins in the Premier League era.
The Blades remain bottom of the division and are nine points adrift of safety, but Wilder is hopeful his side can now push on after ending their record-breaking run.
"I'm delighted. I just want to get home to the wife," he told Sky Sports. "It has been a long time coming for a lot of people in this football club, far too long. I am delighted for the players and the supporters.
"Them being down to 10 men and the penalty made it easier but I would be disappointed if that took away from a decent performance.
"I have said all along, we have been competitive in 90 per cent of the games. We have to accept the results have not been good enough.
"It only means something if we build on it. We have to move on from this. There's still a long way to go and a load of points to play for.
"The season isn't done in January. We have a big task and a huge challenge but, if we keep playing like that, then we can make it interesting."
Premier League data dive: Son reaches century, Kane completes the set and Blades make unwanted history
Tottenham got their title push back on track with a first win in five outings and Arsenal maintained their recent revival with a third win on the bounce in Saturday's Premier League action.
Harry Kane and Son Heung-min were again among the scorers for Spurs in their victory over Leeds United, while Alexandre Lacazette helped himself to a double in the Gunners' even more straightforward success at West Brom.
Crystal Palace also picked up three valuable points with what is a now-customary victory over doomed Sheffield United, who set an unwanted record with their latest setback, but there was nothing to separate Brighton and Hove Albion and Wolves in the day's other game.
Here is the pick of the Opta facts from Saturday's Premier League fixtures.
Tottenham 3-0 Leeds: Son and Kane combine again in convincing victory
Son scored his 100th goal for Tottenham in all competitions to help his side on their way to a routine victory over Leeds in the early kick-off.
The South Korea international swept in Kane's pass to become the 18th Spurs player to reach the milestone figure on what was his 253rd appearance.
Kane has now assisted 17 goals for Son in all competitions, while the pair have combined 13 times in the Premier League alone in 2020-21 - no two players have linked up more in a single season in the competition.
Prolific striker Kane had earlier given Tottenham the lead and in doing so he became the first player to reach double figures for both goals (10) and assists (11) in Europe's top five leagues this season.
Kane has also now scored against all 30 opponents he has faced in the Premier League - the best 100 per cent record in the competition among players to have faced more than one team.
Toby Alderweireld added a third goal early in the second half and Leeds were unable to respond - the first time they have failed to score in an away league game this term, leaving Aston Villa and Manchester United as the only perfect sides in that regard.
The only blemish for Spurs was the stoppage-time dismissal of Matt Doherty for a second yellow card, meaning they have already had more top-flight red cards in 2021 than they had in the whole of 2020.
Palace 2-0 Sheffield United: Eze does it for Eagles as visitors lose again
Bottom club United have now officially set the record for the longest ever winless run from the start of a Premier League campaign after going down 2-0 to Palace.
The Blades' 17-match winless run to begin a season is the worst in the English top flight since Bolton Wanderers' run of 22 without a victory in 1902-03.
Stretching back into 2019-20, Chris Wilder's men are winless in 20 Premier League games - failing to keep a clean sheet in any of those - making them the fifth side to reach that figure and the first since West Brom between August 2017-January 2018.
Jeffrey Schlupp opened the scoring at Selhurst Park with just 188 seconds on the clock, which was Palace's earliest goal in the division since James McArthur's strike against Everton after 51 seconds in November 2017.
The versatile wideman hobbled off injured and it was his replacement, Eberechi Eze, who added a second goal with a wonderful solo effort as he became the fourth Palace player to score his first two goals for the club from outside the box - the others being Ricky Newman, Gareth Southgate and Simon Rodger.
United, who saw 16-year-old Antwoine Hackford become their youngest ever Premier League player in the second half, could not find a response as the Eagles kept a first clean sheet in the competition in 16 matches since September.
Brighton 3-3 Wolves: Seagulls battle back after Burn horror shown
Dan Burn endured a first half to forget but Brighton recovered from two goals down to claim a point against Wolves at the Amex Stadium.
The centre-back put into his own net and brought down Adama Traore for a penalty that Ruben Neves converted, having earlier conceded a corner in the build-up to Romain Saiss' opener - the Wolves defender's second goal in three league games, which is as many as he managed in his previous 40.
In doing so, Burn became the first player to score an own goal and give away a penalty in the same Premier League game since Eliaquim Mangala for Man City against Hull City in September 2014.
Brighton refused to roll over and had a lifeline when Neal Maupay converted from the spot 50 seconds after the restart - the earliest penalty scored in the second half of a Premier League game since Opta records began in 2006-07.
Lewis Dunk then nodded in to snatch a draw - the fourth occasion Albion have rescued a point in a Premier League game in which they have been two goals behind.
West Brom 0-4 Arsenal: Lacazette at the double for revived Gunners
Arsenal turned on the style with a runaway victory over a struggling West Brom side as they made it three wins in a row in the Premier League, following a previous run of two victories in 12.
Kieran Tierney scored a sublime opener for the visitors, becoming the first Scottish player to score an away goal for the north London side in the competition since Charlie Nicholas against Ipswich Town in March 1986.
The strike itself was impressive and it came at the end of a 20-pass move that pulled West Brom apart. Indeed, since Mikel Arteta's first game in charge on Boxing Day 2019, the Gunners have scored more goals following a sequence of 20 or more passes (three) than any other Premier League side.
The impressive Bukayo Saka scored the second at the end of another flowing team move - the 22nd league goal he has been involved in since the start of last season (seven goals, 15 assists), which is the second most by a teenager currently playing in the division after Manchester United's Mason Greenwood (25).
West Brom had a goal ruled out for offside and their heads dropped from that point on as Lacazette netted a quickfire brace, taking his tally for the season to five away goals in the Premier League - already his best seasonal tally since joining Arsenal.
It was another damaging defeat for West Brom, who are the first side to lose consecutive Premier League home games by at least four goals since Wigan Athletic in August 2010.
The size of the task at hand for Sam Allardyce has now become even clearer, meanwhile - at no club has he won fewer points (one, level with Crystal Palace) or conceded more goals (13) after his first four Premier League games in charge of a club.
Winless Sheffield United take miserable Premier League record
Sheffield United became the first team in Premier League history to fail to win any of their first 17 matches of a season as they lost 2-0 at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The Blades had matched Queens Park Rangers' 16-game winless start from 2012-13 in their 1-0 defeat at Burnley last time out.
Chris Wilder's side now possess that unwanted record outright, however, after another reverse at the hands of Palace.
United, who have just two points this term, are the first top-flight side to endure such a desperate run from the beginning of a campaign since Bolton Wanderers went 22 without victory in 1902-03.
Jeffrey Schlupp fired in an early opener at Selhurst Park, before substitute Eberechi Eze doubled Palace's lead with a fine solo strike in the sixth minute of first-half stoppage time.
Schlupp's goal meant the Blades are also still without a league clean sheet in 2020-21, this stretch now spanning 20 games back to last season, the same length as the full extent of their winless run.
Palace had conceded in their prior 15 Premier League matches, the next longest run in the division, but comfortably kept United at bay to end that streak and add to the visitors' woes.
Premier League data dive: Bale's record broken by Burke, Rashford nets latest Old Trafford winner in 11 years
Goals proved hard to come by - The Hawthorns aside - on a day of low-scoring games in the Premier League.
One goal was enough for Arsenal, Manchester United and Burnley to beat Brighton and Hove Albion, Wolves and Sheffield United respectively.
Meanwhile, Southampton's home meeting with West Ham finished goalless, but Leeds United clearly did not get the memo as they hit five against lowly West Brom.
Here is the pick of the Opta facts from Tuesday's action in the Premier League.
Brighton 0-1 Arsenal: Super-sub Lacazette inspires Arsenal
Alexandre Lacazette scored from the bench to make it back-to-back victories for Arsenal in the Premier League for the first time since their first two games of the season.
The French forward's strike – his third in a row in all competitions, after netting once in his previous 12 – arrived just 29 seconds after replacing Gabriel Martinelli, making it the quickest goal by an Arsenal substitute since Opta records began in 2006-07.
The assist was as impressive as the composed finish, with Bukayo Saka storming down the right to tee up Lacazette – the 15th goal he has set up for a team-mate in all competitions since the start of last season, which is the most of any Arsenal player.
Arsenal held firm at the other end to record a fourth away clean sheet this season in the Premier League – only Aston Villa boast a better such record, with five in total for the Villans.
Relegation-threatened Brighton end the year with just one Premier League home win to their name in 17 games – the lowest total of victories on home soil in a calendar year by any side in the history of the competition.
Burnley 1-0 Sheff Utd: Blades equal unwanted record
Another game, another defeat for Sheffield United, who have now lost 14 of their 16 Premier League matches this term, drawing the other two.
The Blades' 16-match winless streak to begin the season is the joint-worst in the competition's history, equalling the record set by QPR in 2012-13.
Oliver Burke has played in 10 of those games. Indeed, the winger has not ended on the winning side in any of his first 25 Premier League appearances, seeing him surpass Gareth Bale (24) for the longest winless start for a player in the competition.
Ben Mee scored what proved to be the winner with a header from a corner after 32 minutes to separate the division's two lowest-scoring sides – the Burnley skipper's first Premier League goal at Turf Moor in 76 matches since January 2015.
That goal should have come as little surprise to the visitors given that they have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 19 league outings since a 3-0 victory over Chelsea in July.
Burnley have now won three of their last four home top-flight matches – as many as their previous 13 combined – with this marking their first successive wins at Turf Moor since October 2019.
Southampton 0-0 West Ham: Successive stalemates for shot-shy Saints
Southampton played out a second successive goalless draw in the Premier League for the first time since October 2018 in a low-key affair at St Mary's.
The Saints were also held by Fulham on Boxing Day and are now winless in four league matches, which is their longest such run since going eight without a victory from September to November 2019.
Top scorer Danny Ings returned for the hosts but had minimal impact as he failed to have a shot or a single touch in West Ham's box – the first time in 54 Premier League games the striker has played a full 90 minutes in which that has happened.
Ralph Hasenhuttl was absent from the dugout after a member of his household tested positive for coronavirus, but for opposite number David Moyes it was the 12th time in his last 13 top-flight encounters that he has avoided defeat against Southampton.
It was a well-earned point for West Ham and an occasion to remember for Craig Dawson, who at the age of 30 years and 237 days became the oldest outfield English player to make his Premier League debut for the club since Roger Johnson in 2014.
West Brom 0-5 Leeds: Baggies blitzed by Bielsa's boys
Romaine Sawyers' comical own goal set the tone early on as West Brom followed up a draw away at champions Liverpool with a humiliating 5-0 loss at home to Leeds, who equalled their biggest margin of victory in a Premier League game.
The midfielder passed the ball into his own net from 25 yards and subsequently became the seventh WBA player to score an own goal since the start of 2019-20 – no side in English football's top four tiers has scored more, tied with Southend United.
Ezgjan Alioski's crisp finish, Jack Harrison's strike from close range and Rodrigo's deflected effort had Leeds four up at the interval in a top-flight game for the first time since May 2001 versus Bradford City.
Raphinha rounded off the scoring in the second half to take Leeds to 30 goals in the Premier League this season – the second-most ever for a newly promoted side after 16 matches, behind only Newcastle United in 1993-94 (31).
Leeds, who have won by five goals in the competition on five previous occasions, move up to 11th in the division, while West Brom are 19th with eight points – only in 1985-86 (six when converted to three points for a win) have they amassed fewer.
Man United 1-0 Wolves: Solskjaer's men leave it late
A rare Marcus Rashford strike at Old Trafford earned United a late victory against Wolves as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men made it seven wins in their last nine league matches.
Rashford scored with 92 minutes and 51 seconds on the clock – United's latest winning goal in a Premier League match at Old Trafford since September 2009, when Michael Owen netted at 95:27 against Manchester City.
The goal – Rashford's first on home soil in the league in 845 minutes since July – was set up by Bruno Fernandes, who has now been directly involved in more goals in the competition than any player since his debut in February (18 goals, 14 assists).
Wolves, who named their youngest starting XI for a Premier League game since April 2012 at an average of 25 years and 109 days, were seconds away from a precious point but have now conceded in each of their last nine top-flight matches.
That is their joint-longest run without a clean sheet in the competition under Nuno Espirito Santo, with this third away loss in a row leaving them in the bottom half of the division.
Bale record broken by Burke as Blades lose again
Gareth Bale's unwanted piece of Premier League history has been taken by Oliver Burke after Sheffield United lost again at Burnley.
Tottenham winger Bale, a four-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, previously held the record for the longest wait for a first Premier League win.
After his initial move to Spurs from Southampton in 2007, the Wales superstar went 24 matches without ending on the winning side.
Not until September 2009 did Bale play a part in a top-flight triumph, making a late cameo at left-back in a 5-0 defeat of Burnley.
The Clarets were the opposition again on Tuesday as Sheffield United's Burke attempted to avoid topping Bale's miserable mark.
But a 1-0 reverse courtesy of Ben Mee's header meant Burke, a 63rd-minute substitute, took the record outright.
Burke's first 15 winless Premier League matches came in West Brom's 2017-18 relegation campaign and United are facing the same fate this term.
Chris Wilder's side are rooted to the bottom of the table with just two points after 16 matches.
As well as Burke's personal woe, the failure to beat Burnley saw the Blades equal Queens Park Rangers' 2012-13 record winless run from the start of a season. QPR were relegated.
Premier League Data Dive: Record-setting McTominay helps Man Utd run riot, Rodgers ends Mourinho streak
Manchester United claimed just their second home win of the Premier League season in emphatic fashion as they swatted aside Leeds United 6-2.
Marcelo Bielsa's team have gone toe-to-toe with most teams this season, but came off on the wrong side of a rout in an encounter which saw 43 attempts on goal.
United leapfrogged Tottenham to move into the top four, with Jose Mourinho's side going down 2-0 to Leicester City earlier on Sunday.
Sam Allardyce got his West Brom tenure off to a losing start, while Brighton and Hove Albion denied Sheffield United their first victory of 2020-21.
Manchester United 6-2 Leeds United: McTominay sets the tone
Sunday's headline fixture wasted no time in serving up the entertainment. Man United shared the points with Manchester City in a dismal derby in their previous home match, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side mustered 26 attempts as they thrashed Leeds this time out.
Scott McTominay got things up and running with a quickfire double – his opener coming after just 66 seconds, with the midfielder then doubling his tally with a tidy close-range finish.
McTominay's efforts put Man United 2-0 within 170 seconds, the quickest a team has scored twice from the start of a Premier League game since Arsenal netted two inside 164 seconds against Newcastle United in February 2011, a 4-4 draw.
The double also made McTominay the first player in Premier League history to score twice in the first three minutes of a match, and Bruno Fernandes drilled in to make it 3-0 in the 20th minute, the earliest the Red Devils have scored three times from the start of a top-flight game since August 2006.
Goals from Victor Lindelof and Daniel James, combined with a penalty from Fernandes, saw United score six times in a Premier League game for the first time since their 8-2 win over Arsenal in 2011.
United have played more home Premier League games against Leeds without losing than against any other club (P13 W9 D4), while it is the first time a club side managed by Bielsa have conceded six goals in a competitive match since his Newell's Old Boys team lost 6-0 to San Lorenzo in the Copa Libertadores in February 1992.
Since his debut in February, Fernandes has both scored and assisted a goal in seven different Premier League games – only Matt Le Tissier in 1994 (eight) and Mohamed Salah in 2018 (nine) have done so on more occasions in a single calendar year in the competition's history.
Tottenham 0-2 Leicester City: No more Mourinho woe for Rodgers
Tottenham suffered a second straight Premier League defeat as Leicester returned to winning ways in style, with Brendan Rodgers claiming his first victory in all competitions against a Mourinho team.
Leicester's opener came from the spot, with Jamie Vardy lashing in his sixth penalty of the season after Serge Aurier's foul on James Justin was spotted by the VAR in first-half stoppage time. The Ivory Coast full-back has conceded four penalties in the Premier League since 2017-18, second only to David Luiz (five).
Vardy has now been directly involved in seven goals (five goals, two assists) in seven Premier League away games against Spurs, with the 33-year-old becoming the first player to score an away goal against an opponent at three different venues in the competition (White Hart Lane, Wembley Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium).
James Maddison had a goal disallowed by the VAR for a marginal offside, but Vardy was involved again as Leicester got their second midway through the second half, his header diverted in off Toby Alderweireld, who has scored three own goals for Spurs in the Premier League, a joint-high with Harry Kane.
The victory moved Leicester into second place, and the Foxes will be in the top two places of the top flight at Christmas in consecutive seasons for the first time in their history.
West Brom 0-3 Aston Villa: No Big Sam bounce for Baggies
A 1-1 draw at Manchester City was not enough to keep Slaven Bilic in the hot seat at West Brom, but his successor got off to a dismal start.
Allardyce's team went down 3-0 to Aston Villa, with captain Jake Livermore seeing red as goals from Anwar El Ghazi and Bertrand Traore claimed the points.
Villa's return of 22 points after 12 games is their best in the Premier League since 2001-02, when they finished eighth, while West Brom have only one win 14 games into a league season for just the third time, after 1985-86 and 2004-05.
It was only the second time Allardyce lost his first Premier League game in charge of a side (W5 D1), the previous occasion coming against West Brom as Sunderland manager in October 2015.
Allardyce has plenty of work to do. In England's top four tiers, only Southend United (-20) have a poorer goal difference than West Brom (-19).
Brighton and Hove Albion 1-1 Sheffield United: Ten-man Blades made to wait
Chris Wilder's Sheffield United looked set to clinch their first victory of the season, only to be denied late on by Danny Welbeck, who snatched a 1-1 draw for Brighton.
The Blades had John Lundstram sent off in the first half, but Jayden Bogle's goal on his Premier League debut put them ahead – three of the full-back's four league goals have come away from home.
Bogle joins Brian Deane (1992), Willie Falconer (1993), Rob Hulse (2006) and Billy Sharp (2019) in netting on his Premier League bow for the Blades.
Brighton, meanwhile, are winless in their past 11 league home games – only once in their league history have they gone longer without a win at home (12 games between October 1997 and February 1998).
United sit bottom on two points from 14 games. It is the lowest total by an English top-flight side at this stage of a campaign (counting three points for a win).
Solskjaer praises 'excellent' Pogba performance
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with Paul Pogba's performance in Manchester United's 3-2 win over Sheffield United on Thursday.
Pogba set up Anthony Martial's goal at Bramall Lane as United became the fourth side in English top-flight history to record 10 consecutive away league wins.
Only Alex Telles (96) had more touches than Pogba (91), while the France international won three of his six aerial duels and gained possession eight times.
United manager Solskjaer praised Pogba, who has been linked with a move away from the Premier League giants.
"We made a decision. Of course, we know [Pogba's] strength in the air. We knew he was going to be important for us. He won almost every single header," he told a news conference.
"His vision, creativity. Paul's responded really well to the work he's been doing. He's fit now. Excellent performance."
Marcus Rashford scored a brace, either side of Martial's goal, while Mason Greenwood was the only other United player to have multiple shots.
Solskjaer hopes the trio can build on their performances, with Rashford having netted five goals in six away games in the Premier League this season.
"I don't think it's a key to get them on the pitch, it's key to get them performing. We need them to kick on, to start scoring goals," he said.
"We've done okay without them really firing. They showed their capabilities, now we need their consistency. Very happy with all three of them."
United, who climbed into sixth in the table, made another slow start as a Dean Henderson error allowed David McGoldrick to open the scoring, with the Sheffield forward also netting a second late on.
Solskjaer was happy to come away with three points, with United only five points behind leaders Liverpool and holding a game in hand.
"I don't have any frustrations. We got three points from a difficult game, a difficult place. You don't expect it to be comfortable," he said.
"The goals we scored were excellent. You have to accept the opposition have weapons, armoury that can hurt you."
Solskjaer's men host Leeds United in the Premier League on Sunday.
Solskjaer warns Man Utd must 'sharpen up' at Old Trafford after beating Blades
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer warned Manchester United must "sharpen up" at Old Trafford after they came from behind once again to beat Sheffield United 3-2 in the Premier League.
Dean Henderson's early howler against his former club gifted the Blades, bottom of the table with only a solitary point, an early lead at Bramall Lane on Thursday, David McGoldrick punishing the goalkeeper's mistake.
The Red Devils came storming back to go sixth in the table, though, Marcus Rashford grabbing a brace either side of Anthony Martial's first Premier League goal of the season before McGoldrick's late second set up a tense finale.
Solskjaer's side held on to become only the fourth side to win 10 consecutive top-flight matches on their travels and they have had to come from behind to win all six away from home this season.
In contrast, they have just one victory at home in the Premier League in the current campaign and Solskjaer says they must address that ahead of a showdown with Leeds United on Sunday.
The Manchester United boss told BBC Sport: "It wasn't comfortable at all towards the end. We made it difficult for ourselves again after a slow start but then we played some brilliant stuff.
"When they get that second goal it's not comfortable at all."
He added: "We need to sharpen up at home. Sunday will be a massive test for us. It's a big derby for us. We've been waiting for years to get this game on."
Henderson, making his second Premier League start for the club with David de Gea on the bench, had a nightmare start when he was caught in possession taking far too long on the ball and Oliver Burke robbed him to set up McGoldrick for a tap-in.
He made amends in stoppage time, though, showing great reflexes to palm away Lys Mousset's strike and deny the club he excelled for in a loan spell last season a second point.
Solskjaer said of the England international: "He dillied and dallied on the ball for the first goal. We saw the good and bad from him today because he made a great save towards the end."
Victory for United leaves them five points behind leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.
Latest Man Utd comeback condemns Blades to record-breaking low
Marcus Rashford was on target again for Manchester United as they came from behind to win in a sixth consecutive away Premier League game, piling more misery on record-breakers Sheffield United.
A 3-2 victory at Bramall Lane, after trailing in the fifth minute, made the Red Devils the first team to concede first before winning six times on the road across any Premier League season.
Remarkably, United have done so in their first half-dozen fixtures of the campaign, staying perfect away from Old Trafford.
To achieve this feat, they have needed to become the first side in the competition's history to score two or more goals in 10 straight away games - a run that stretches back to last season - and the first to do so in the top flight since Tottenham in October 1960.
Either side of an Anthony Martial goal, Rashford scored twice, maintaining his record of only netting away in the league this term - also striking in comeback wins at Brighton and Hove Albion, Newcastle United and West Ham.
Rashford's tally under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now stands at 43 goals, the most by any United player under a single manager since Alex Ferguson's 2013 retirement.
But while the visitors revelled in another recovery, opponents Sheffield United plumbed new depths.
The Blades have just a single point after 13 matches, which equates to the outright worst start to a campaign in top-flight history and tied for the poorest record in any English league, level with Newport County in the fourth tier in 1970-71.
It was a familiar tale of woe for Chris Wilder's men, albeit only after Dean Henderson's dismal error had gifted the opener to David McGoldrick, who also added a late consolation.
Henderson made just one error leading to a goal in 36 league games on loan at the Blades last season but has now matched that tally in three matches (two starts) back at his parent club.
Only Newcastle (15) have made more errors leading to goals in the Premier League than United (10) since the start of last season.
Sheffield United 2-3 Manchester United: Rashford double spares Henderson's blushes
Marcus Rashford scored twice to spare Dean Henderson's blushes as Manchester United yet again came from behind to beat beleaguered Sheffield United 3-2 and go sixth in the Premier League.
A terrible mistake from goalkeeper Henderson, replacing David de Gea against his former club, put an early opening goal on a plate for David McGoldrick at Bramall Lane on Thursday.
Yet it was deja vu for the Red Devils as they produced another fightback, Rashford equalising and Anthony Martial scoring his first top-flight goal of the season to put them in front at half-time.
The visitors were a huge threat on the break as they bossed the second half and Rashford took his tally for the season to 12 as they made it 10 consecutive Premier League away wins, despite McGoldrick's late second ensuring a nervy ending.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have had to come from behind to win all six top-flight matches away from home, while the Blades remain rooted to the bottom of the table with just one point from 13 games.
Henderson gifted the Blades the lead just five minutes in when he was caught dwelling on the ball by Oliver Burke, who set up McGoldrick for a tap-in.
An unmarked John Fleck should have doubled the bottom side's lead when he fired wide from just inside the penalty area after Phil Jagielka replaced the injured Sander Berge.
The ruthless Red Devils turned it around with two goals in the space of seven minutes, Rashford timing his run to perfection and controlling Victor Lindelof's ball over the top with a great first touch before clinically rifling home with his right foot.
Paul Pogba then set up France team-mate Martial with a brilliant first-time pass to put United in front at the second attempt 33 minutes in.
Pogba's brilliant skill and pass started a devastating counter-attack that gave Solskjaer's side a two-goal cushion six minutes into the second half, Aaron Ramsdale at fault as he allowed Rashford's shot to go under his body.
Only desperate Blades defending denied Martial a second goal before Lindelof's header from a corner hit McGoldrick on the head and went in to give the Blades hope, but they could not salvage a point after Henderson produced a brilliant save to deny Lys Mousset in stoppage time.

John Corigliano, Composer-in-Residence
The Colorado Music Festival welcomes Pulitzer Prize-winning John Corigliano as 2023 composer-in-residence.
Conducted by Music Director Peter Oundjian, our retrospective program examines three stages of Corigliano's vast career, beginning with his pastoral Gazebo Dances.
Corigliano penned the song cycle One Sweet Morning in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the events of 9/11, borrowing text from four poems of varying intensity and ultimately ending with, as he explains, "the dream of a world without war – an impossible dream, perhaps, but certainly one worth dreaming." The tender words of these poems are performed here by the highly sought-after mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke.
Corigliano's most recent work on our program is Triathlon, written for guest saxophonist Timothy McAllister, who returns to the Chautauqua stage after dazzling Festival audiences in 2022. Triathlon demonstrates McAllister's musical athleticism in three dynamic movements which feature in turn soprano, alto, and baritone saxophone.

Joshua Bell, Artist-in-Residence
The Colorado Music Festival welcomes violinist Joshua Bell as its 2023 artist-in-residence.
With a career spanning almost four decades, Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell is one of the most celebrated artists of his era. At age 14, Bell debuted with Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra and made his Carnegie Hall debut at age 17 with the St. Louis Symphony. At age 18, Bell signed with his first label, London Decca, and received the Avery Fisher Career Grant. In the years following, Bell has been named 2010 "Instrumentalist of the Year" by Musical America, a 2007 "Young Global Leader" by the World Economic Forum, nominated for six Grammy awards, and received the 2007 Avery Fisher Prize.
Festival attendees have four opportunities to see Joshua Bell perform this summer:
June 29/30: Joshua Bell performs Bruch's First Violin Concerto (June 29 / June 30)
August 3: Joshua Bell performs 3 movements from Elements: "Fire" (composed by Jake Heggie); "Water" (Edgar Meyer); and "Ether" (Jessie Montgomery)
August 6: Joshua Bell performs 2 movements from Elements: "Air" (composed by Jennifer Higdon) and "Earth" (Kevin Puts)
Bonus fact: In 1998, Joshua Bell partnered with composer John Corigliano and recorded the soundtrack for the film The Red Violin, which elevated Bell to a household name and garnered Corigliano an Academy Award. In 2018-19, Bell commemorated the 20th anniversary of The Red Violin (1998), bringing the film with live orchestra to various festivals and the New York Philharmonic.
