Traveling to Old Trafford against a Manchester United team still in crisis, Spurs hoped to take the opportunity to climb back into the top places in the Premier League. To achieve this, Ange Postecoglou directly aligned rookie Timo Werner. On the United side, Ten Hag played classic with Garnacho, Rashford and Fernandes behind Hojlund. The Danish striker couldn’t have gotten off to a better start since he opened the scoring on a counter-attack (1-0, 3rd). But the Red Devils could not hold their advantage for long and on a corner hit by Porro, Rocharlison jumped higher than everyone to equalize with a header (1-1, 19th). His 7th goal in the Championship.
But Spurs relaxed and lacked precision in front of goal, especially in the absence of Son, who left for the Asian Cup. And after a superb combination with Hojlund, Rashford was able to give his team the advantage again, just before half-time (2-1, 43rd). And after a header from Romero on the bar of Onana (45th + 2), Bentancur then equalized just after the break (2-2, 46th). Less spectacular than the first, the second half did not make it possible to decide between the two teams and that did not help anyone. MU will therefore be satisfied with the draw and remain in 7th place. Spurs also remain in 5th place.
