MANCHESTER — Dominic Solanke struck in stoppage time to salvage a 1-1 draw for 10-man Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester United in a feisty Premier League encounter at Old Trafford. The late equaliser ensured Spurs snatched a point on the road despite their numerical disadvantage, with the spoils shared in Manchester after a tense and combative clash.

Tottenham were reduced to 10 men yet refused to settle for defeat and found a dramatic leveller in added time through Solanke. His intervention cancelled out Manchester United's earlier lead and capped a spirited response from the visitors, who showed resilience and organisation to frustrate their hosts and keep the contest alive until the final moments at Old Trafford.

The draw underlines Tottenham's character away from home and denies Manchester United maximum points on their own pitch in a fixture that lived up to its feisty billing. The late twist follows Bentancur's red card as Tottenham snatched a late draw at Old Trafford detailed in our earlier coverage, with both clubs now turning their attention to their next Premier League assignments.
