De Ligt’s Stoppage-Time Header Rescues Point for Manchester United at Spurs

United’s unbeaten run reaches five, intensifying Amorim’s challenge of injuries, rotation needs, plus looming AFCON absences.

Overview

  • Bryan Mbeumo headed United in front from an Amad Diallo cross before late goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison flipped the game for Spurs.
  • Matthijs de Ligt equalised in the 96th minute from a corner to secure a 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
  • Benjamin Sesko limped off near the end after coming on, leaving United with 10 men, with Ruben Amorim saying the striker will be assessed in the coming days.
  • Kobbie Mainoo missed out with a minor injury and Lisandro Martinez remains carefully managed in his knee-surgery recovery.
  • Amorim signalled ongoing rotation as AFCON call-ups for Mbeumo and Amad next month will deprive United of key attackers, while Jack Fletcher’s bench spot kept the 88-year academy streak intact.
