Dominic Solanke came to the rescue as Tottenham Hotspur fought back to earn a dramatic 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford, salvaging a point despite being reduced to 10 men late in the game.

The first half saw Tottenham enjoy the better of the play, but neither side managed to break the deadlock before the interval. The contest burst into life after the restart when Bryan Mbeumo fired Manchester United into the lead, putting the hosts in control.

The task became even tougher for Spurs in the 78th minute when Rodrigo Bentancur received a straight red card following a confrontation with Luke Shaw. Facing the prospect of defeat while down to 10 men, Tottenham needed a response — and they found one in the closing stages.

Solanke struck in the dying minutes with an unusual, somewhat fortunate goal to secure a crucial equaliser and silence the home crowd. The late intervention earned Tottenham Hotspur a valuable point in a match that appeared to be slipping away.
