Two goals in stoppage time meant that it was a point each for Tottenham and Manchester United in a dramatic game in the early kickoff in North London. Spurs made three changes from their 4-0 win against Copenhagen in the Champions League as Udogie, Bentancur and Odobert made way for Spence, Paulinha and Richarlison As for United, they also made three changes from their last game, a 2-2 draw away at Nottingham Forest, Yoro, Dalot and Sesko dropped out for Dorgu, Mazraoui and de Ligt. After the Remembrance weekend minute silence that all Premier League clubs will observe, it was a disastrous start for United as goalkeeper Senne Lammens let the ball roll under his foot. His heart must have been in his mouth as the ball ran away from him, but thankfully for him, it rolled for a corner, which Tottenham couldn’t take advantage of. United got a better foothold of the game early on and their best chance came from Bruno Fernandes driving forward as he usually does, a poor pass is picked back up by the United captain who plays the ball to Bryan Mbeumo who plays a great ball that was begging to be tapped in but there was no takers. Spurs did create one good chance midway through the first half as Brennan Johnson skipped past Patrick Dorgu and crossed to Richarlison who has a free header but the Brazilian inexplicitly completely misses the ball. It was United who took the lead after 32 minutes as Tottenham fail to clear their lines twice, as Matheus Cunha picked it up on the edge of the Spurs area plays it wide to Amad Diallo whose pin point cross is expertly headed in by Mbeumo who scored his fourth goal in five League games. As the first half came to a close United were doing well and as the whistle was blown for half time there were boos ringing round the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. As the players emerged for the second half Tottenham changed shape and it seemed to work as they looked much more aggressive. Their first chance came from the left as Djed Spence crossed for Cristian Romero as the centre-half was still up from a corner and his flicked shot was saved by the leg of Lammens Spurs again had another shot just a couple of minutes later as Xavi Simons free kick was cleared but recycled by Pedro Porro whose cross fell to Paulinha on the half volley and his powerful strike was saved by the difficult to beat Lammens. Spurs then get the ball in the net again down the right hand side with Porro who finds Richarlison and he slips in Johnson but his exquisite finish across goal is ruled out as the Englishman was a yard or so offside. United finally managed to get a little bit of a break from defending as Casemiro’s long pass was chested down brilliantly by Fernandes again but he sliced his shot over the bar. Spurs get their equaliser on 84 minutes as Wilson Odobert pushes them forward gets a good ball wide for Destiny Udogie and his crossed pass to Mathys Tel is controlled outstandingly by the Dutchman to get himself a yard of space away from countryman Matthijs de Ligt and Tel’s shot on the half spin deflects off de Ligt to finally get Spurs level. United try to get their lead back almost straight from kick off as Benjamin Sesko and Mason Mount connect well and Sesko looks to be through on goal if it wasn’t for Micky van de Ven making a goal-saving challenge. That challenge would be the end of Sesko’s game as he went off injured, and United would finish with 10 men as they had no more available subs. Spurs then managed to turn the game around in the 91st minute as a half-cleared corner was picked up by Odobert in space and his curling shot was deftly flicked on by Richarlison who’s got 4 goals in 11 games this season. Ridiculously, we didn’t get a Spurs win as United would end up getting a 96th minute equaliser a Fernandes corner is floated to the far post and de Ligt, whose marker was very well blocked off by Luke Shaw, found the net despite the best efforts of Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario. A score draw was a fair result in a game that started slow but then exploded with action come the end of the game. Final score Tottenham 2-2 Manchester United.
