Match Report: How 10-Man Spurs Earned a Point

Tottenham played much of the second half with 10 men after Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off in the 78th minute for headbutting Luke Shaw, five minutes after Mbeumo had put United in front. With a one-goal lead and an extra man, United looked set for a much-needed win to end their winless run.

Instead, Tottenham showed resilience. United could not find a second goal to put the game away, and deep into stoppage time Tonali whipped in a cross from the right that Solanke flicked home to snatch a deserved point and stun Old Trafford into silence. It was United’s second game this season in which they failed to beat 10 men at home, having also drawn with Manchester City’s reduced side earlier in the campaign.
