10-man Tottenham ramp up pressure on Man Utd boss Carrick
Tottenham salvaged a 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Manchester United thanks to Dominic Solanke's last-gasp leveller.
Tottenham managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Manchester United, despite being a man down due to a red card to Rodrigo Bentancur, who was sent off for headbutting Luke Shaw. The goal that secured the point for Tottenham was scored in the final moments by Dominic Solanke, who headed in Sandro Tonali's cross after evading United defender Lisandro Martinez.
This result was a stark contrast to the struggles faced by both teams, with Tottenham sitting third from bottom in the table and United languishing in 12th place with only one league win this season. Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed satisfaction with his team's character following the defeat, while United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reflected on a challenging period for his club.
The match came amidst scrutiny over the managerial situations at both clubs, with the clash nicknamed "El Sackicko". Arsenal bounced back from a shock 3-0 defeat at Brighton by defeating Leeds 2-1, thanks to goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Bruno Guimaraes, who made his debut at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal now sit second in the league, just behind crisis-hit Manchester City, who are under investigation for financial irregularities.
