Late Solanke strike salvages 10-man Spurs draw at Man United
It looked as if United were about to pile more misery on the visitors following their pitiful start to the Premier League season when Bryan Mbeumo broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute.
In a spirited match at Old Trafford, Tottenham Hotspur secured a 1-1 draw against Manchester United, thanks to a last-minute goal from Dominic Solanke. The game initially appeared disastrous for United, who started the Premier League season poorly, but they managed to turn the tide with a goal from Bryan Mbeumo in the 73rd minute.
The situation worsened for Spurs when Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for headbutting Luke Shaw just five minutes later. Despite the setback, Solanke, who captained Tottenham for the first time, equalized in the second minute of stoppage time with a header from Sandro Tonali's cross, lifting the team out of the relegation zone. However, Tottenham remains winless and sits at the bottom of the table with just three points from their first six games.
Manchester United, too, have had a challenging start to the season, with a lone victory to their name and a poor first-half display that was met with boos from the home crowd. They showed improvement after the break but faced jeers again at full-time. This was the second consecutive league defeat for United against a team reduced to 10 men, following their 1-0 loss to Manchester City last month.
