United and Spurs fight at Old Trafford

Tottenham twice fought back to secure a 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Rasmus Hojlund scored an early thunderbolt for United, but Richarlison’s header leveled the score.

Marcus Rashford restored United’s lead with a clever finish before Rodrigo Bentancur equalized for Tottenham early in the second half. Despite both teams having chances, including a late miss by Scott McTominay for United, the game ended in a draw.

The result sees United in seventh place, eight points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, while Tottenham sits fifth, level on points with Arsenal. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, attending his first match since agreeing to acquire 25% of the club, witnessed an exciting encounter with positives for United but areas to improve. Rodrigo Bentancur earned the Player of the Match for his well-taken goal and all-around performance.
