A dramatic finale unfolded at Tottenham as Matthijs de Ligt scored a stoppage-time equalizer to earn Manchester United a point in a thrilling Premier League encounter.
The visitors had taken the lead in the first half through Bryan Mbeumo, who headed home Amad Diallo’s precise right-wing cross. United seemed to be in control, but Tottenham threatened to turn the game around after the break, with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven testing Senne Lammens, who made excellent saves to keep the scores level.
As the clock ticked down, Mathys Tel’s introduction sparked a surge from Tottenham, and he almost scored with a swivel and shot six minutes from time. The momentum shifted further in Spurs’ favor, and Richarlison thought he had won it when he flicked Wilson Odobert’s long-range shot past Lammens.
However, United refused to give up, and with Lammens up for a corner, De Ligt headed home from an acute angle, sending the away fans into raptures. The drama didn’t end there, as Richarlison was left devastated, having jubilantly celebrated his goal, only to realize it had not been the winner.
United head coach Ruben Amorim was stunned, having watched his side almost toss away a game they seemed certain to win. The result leaves both teams with mixed emotions, as the points are shared in a game that will be remembered for its thrilling finale.
