Dominic Solanke had a good chance to give Tottenham the lead early on, but he was unable to guide his effort past Senne Lammens, before Mohammed Kudus missed a great opportunity, firing just wide of the target! In the second half, Solanke missed another good chance to score, before Manchester United were the ones who broke the deadlock through Bryan Mbeumo! Then, just 5 minutes later, things got even worse for Tottenham as Rodrigo Bentancur was shown a straight red card for violent conduct! But then, in the 92nd minute, Dominic Solanke was finally able to find the back of the net to rescue a point for Spurs! In the end, Manchester United are simply awful! United drop to 13th in the table, and they’ve got to face Atletico Madrid away from home tonight, before another away trip to Leeds! As for Tottenham Hotspur, they should’ve won this game, although rescuing a point with one less player is a good effort!
