Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United
North London eventually serves up a Premier League classic as Tottenham and Manchester United draw 2-2 with late drama the order of the day. Mbeumo's fine, headed opener from an Amad cross gave the visitors the lead in a widely passive first half. Spurs then steadily threatened, finding a Johnson goal disallowed for offside just after the hour mark. While Lammens had stood up to tests from both Romero and Palhinha valiantly, there was nothing he could do as Spurs managed to click into gear in the last 10 minutes. First, substitute Tel equalised in the 84th minute, spinning off an Udogie ball and firing a deflected effort home off De Ligt. Just two minutes later, the momentum seemed firmly with those in white, as Sesko was denied what could've been a winner with Van de Ven's last-ditch tackle inspiring the hosts. Such was the nature of the challenge, Sesko was actually forced to withdraw, and it looked like Spurs had the advantage over their 10-man visitors. Richarlison headed on an Odobert shot to make it 2-1 in the 91st minute, but the drama wasn't over in stoppage time, as De Ligt nodded in a Fernandes corner from the left in the 96th minute. Now, after over-performing their 0.96 and 0.63 xGs respectively, these sides continue to be locked together on points. Thanks for joining us today. Goodbye!

Fernandes' corner is an excellent, dangerous delivery. That's deflated the Spurs fans massively!

What a turnaround... Odobert's effort goes down as an assist. That's his first assist of the league campaign.

GOOOOAAALLLLL! IT'S 2-1 TO SPURS! RICHARLISON! The corner comes in from the right and is half-cleared to Odobert. He shoots, and Richarlison helps the effort on its way with his head and into the bottom-right corner past Lammens!

With that unorthodox poacher's header, Richarlison has scored his fourth Premier League goal this season. That's more than any other Tottenham player.
