Solanke rescues 10-man Tottenham with stoppage-time goal against Man United

Manchester United missed the opportunity to secure victory at Old Trafford after Dominic Solanke scored a late equaliser to earn Tottenham Hotspur a 1-1 draw despite playing with 10 men.

Michael Carrick’s side appeared on course for three points after taking the lead in the second half, but Tottenham refused to give up and found a breakthrough in the closing moments of the contest.

The result followed a difficult opening period for United, whose lack of attacking fluency drew audible frustration from supporters. Tottenham also struggled to convert their opportunities, leaving both teams without a goal at half-time.

Mbeumo breaks the deadlock

United eventually took the lead through Bryan Mbeumo, who finished a well-worked move after receiving a pass from Matheus Cunha.

The goal offered the hosts an opportunity to take control of the game after an unconvincing first-half display. However, they were unable to establish a decisive advantage against a Tottenham side that continued to search for an equaliser.

Spurs had created several promising chances earlier in the match but failed to make them count. Their inability to find the net left them chasing the game as the second half progressed.

United, meanwhile, had to contend with growing pressure as Tottenham looked for a way back into the contest.

Bentancur sent off before late Tottenham comeback

The match took another turn in the 78th minute when Rodrigo Bentancur was shown a red card following his involvement in a confrontation with Manchester United defender Luke Shaw.

Tottenham were left with 10 players for the closing stages, making their task of recovering from a goal down considerably more difficult.

United appeared to have the numerical advantage needed to protect their lead, but they could not prevent a late Tottenham response.

In the 92nd minute, Spurs captain Dominic Solanke connected with a header and managed to direct the ball into the net, restoring parity and silencing the home crowd.

The late goal completed a frustrating evening for United, who had been unable to capitalise on their lead despite Tottenham’s dismissal.
