Tottenham vs Man United Highlights: FT TOT 2-2 MUN; De Ligt's last-gasp equaliser rescues a point for Red Devils

Manchester United, meanwhile, are seventh with five teams currently level on 18 points. Had it not been for Matthijs de Ligt’s last-minute equaliser, the Spurs would have been occupying the second spot on the table right now.

90+2′: What a turnaround at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Manchester United were leading with six minutes left in regular time, and now suddenly find themselves facing their first defeat in five matches after conceding two late goals!

This time it’s Richarlison who puts the home side in the lead with a brilliant strike from just outside the penalty area, the ball sailing through a sea of humanity inside the box and beating Lammens to hit the right corner of the net.

67′: Porro comes off for the home side with Udogie replacing him. Tottenham have looked a lot more energetic in the second half and have created a lot more chances.

United were also leading at half-time against Nottingham Forest but found themselves trailing 1-2 after conceding twice in a space of a few minutes after restart. Amorim will be hoping his team avoids a repeat of such a scenario today.

Spurs currently lead United on possession (53-47) and have had a lot more passes (218) compared to their opponents (159) in the first half. The match has seen just one shot on target so far, and that is what matters at the moment.

45′: Nothing much comes out of it though as Manchester United find themselves leading by a solitary goal at half-time, which was the other way round in the Europa League final in Bilbao on 21 May. The Spurs had held on to their lead back then to pull off a memorable victory. Will the Red Devils return the favour today?

Thomas Frank’s side, meanwhile, made multiple attempts at finding an equaliser in the remainder of the first half after Mbeumo’s goal, but the United defence stood strong and thwarted them on each occasion.

Brennan Johnson had scored the only goal of the game in Bilbao, Spain as the Spurs registered a narrow victory over United to win their first trophy in 17 years. With both teams finding themselves in the lower half of the table for a change, it was a must-win game for both teams to ensure they played European football in the 2025-26 season.

The victory, however, would not be enough for manager Ange Postecoglou to save his job, with the Spurs firing him shortly afterwards.
