Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham: Solanke's stoppage-time header rescues Spurs
Ten-man Tottenham equalised in the 92nd minute at Old Trafford after Bryan Mbeumo's goal and a Rodrigo Bentancur red card.
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur drew 1-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday, with Dominic Solanke's header in the second minute of stoppage time earning the visitors a point after they had been reduced to ten men.
How it unfolded
According to Sky Sports, chances were scarce early. Solanke was put through by Lucas Bergvall in the third minute but could not convert, and he later blazed over from six yards. United's best openings before the break came on the counter-attack, with Amad's low shot saved by Kinsky.
The deadlock broke in the 73rd minute. Bryan Mbeumo scored on the turn after combining with Matheus Cunha in the box, to put United 1-0 up.
Five minutes later the game turned again. Sky reports that Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off in the 78th minute for a headbutt motion toward Luke Shaw, which sparked a brawl between the benches on the touchline.
Tottenham, a man down and behind, found the equaliser in the 92nd minute. Sandro Tonali crossed and Solanke headed in, with Sky noting that Martinez had been distracted on the play.
What it means
The result leaves both clubs in difficulty. Sky says United have six points from six league games, their fewest at this stage of a league season since 1986-87, and describes it as their worst start in roughly 40 years. Spurs move off the bottom of the table but remain in the relegation zone, and have not won a league game since May.
The managers
United's Michael Carrick was blunt about the home side's start. "We couldn't find a way to get ourselves into the game," he said, adding that he was "not happy with the amount of points."
Tottenham's Roberto De Zerbi took a more positive view. "Today, for the first time we showed we're a team," he said, and he argued Spurs "did not deserve to lose."
The draw is unlikely to ease the pressure on either side. For United, the question is how a team with this much attacking talent created so little for most of 73 minutes. For Tottenham, a point earned with ten men is evidence the group can fight, but the long winless run in the league remains.
