Tottenham and host Man United share points in round 21 of the Premier League
In this match, Man United couldn't have started better when they found the lead thanks to striker Ramus Hojlund when the match had only been going on for 3 minutes.
Marcus Rashford picked up the ball on the left flank and decided to break through but was blocked by a Tottenham defender. The ball bounced right to Hojlund and the Man United striker handled it neatly before unleashing a powerful shot to open the scoring.
It was thought that an early goal would make it easier for Man United to play, but in reality it was not so.
The "Red Devils" lost control of the game and conceded a goal in the 19th minute. From a corner kick from the left wing by Pedro Porro, Richarlison jumped high and headed the ball past Andre Onana, scoring the equalizer.

But Man United could not maintain this advantage for too long. In the 46th minute, receiving a pass from Timo Werner, Rodrigo Bentancur received the ball in the penalty area and comfortably shot from a narrow angle, scoring the equalizer.
In the remaining minutes of the match, both teams had opportunities but neither side could take advantage. In the end, Tottenham and Man United drew 2-2. With this result, Man United has 32 points, temporarily ranked 7th on the rankings. Meanwhile, Tottenham ranked 5th with 40 points.
