Manchester United v Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Radu Dragusin makes Spurs debut

Erik ten Hag’s stuttering Red Devils failed to claw back ground in the race to finish in the top four as they took on Ange Postecoglou’s free-flowing Spurs

Ten Hag addresses Sancho's departure to Dortmund with frank response

Manchester United twice gave up one-goal leads in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday, a disappointing result for Erik ten Hag’s team who are desperately trying to climb up the Premier League standings.

Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur scored for Spurs, who remained fifth in the table, level on 40 points with fourth-placed Arsenal but having played a game more. United climbed a spot to seventh, but are eight points adrift of the top four.

United got off to a lively start with a goal from Rasmus Hojlund in the third minute. The 20-year-old scored for the second time in as many home games with a ferocious left-footed shot to the top corner. Richarlison capitalised on United’s poor marking to head in the equaliser from a corner in the 19th.

Marcus Rashford put United back on top just before the break with a quick one-two with Hojlund for his fourth goal of the season. Bentancur scored less than a minute after the interval, taking a pass from debutant Timo Werner before firing the ball past goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

39 min: Post! United counter-attack down the left, where Rashford croesse towards Hojlund. The cross is overhit but Udogie almost buries an own goal, powering a header against the woodwork for reasons as yet unclear. But just a moment later...

Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

37 min: Spurs are enjoying a good period of possession. Porro switches it to the left for Werner who finds the under-lapping Udogie in the box, but he’s closely marshalled and his cross is blocked.

Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

35 min: This probably won’t make the highlights reel of the game, but Johnson just wasted a huge chance for Spurs. Porro had played his winger in behind United’s defence down the right, and all Johnson had to do was drill a first-time cross into the arriving Richarlison in the middle, who had escaped his marker and would surely have scored from close range. But the cross was far too high and nowhere near his target.

Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

32 min: Garnacho goes down after Udogie had wrapped his arms around the United winger’s waist. I suspect if it had been given as a penalty, it wouldn’t have been overturned by VAR, but referee John Brooks gives Garnacho only a dismissive “get up” and jogs away.

Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

30 min: Spurs pinch the ball from a stuttering Jonny Evans, who looked like he immediately regretted dribbling into midfield on his own. They run up the other end where Johnson gets a low shot away, but it’s easily stopped by Onana at his near post.

Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

28 min: Rashford has a dribble at Romero but the Argentine defender stands his ground and stops the forward in his tracks. United have had their foot on the ball for a couple of minutes now, keeping it well, although without much incision.

Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

25 min: Wan-Bissaka is booked for slamming through Johnson a little too aggressively. A moment later, Bentancur is booked for kicking the ball away. One each.

Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

22 min: Timo Werner cuts inside and shoots, but his 25-yard effort flies about 25 yards over the crossbar. A rotten shot.

GOAL! Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur (Richarlison, 19 min)

A good spell for Spurs ends in an equaliser! Pedro Porro puts in a delicious, in-swinging cross with his right foot and Richarlison doesn’t have to do much, stepping into the six-yard box before nodding home.

Manchester United 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur

16 min: Good from the hosts, who pop the ball around neatly before a big switch by Mainoo finds Rashford on the left wing. Rashford dribbles to the byline where his low cross is blocked by Van de Ven. Corner, but it doesn’t amount to much.
