A dramatic 96th-minute header from Matthijs de Ligt salvaged a 2-2 draw for Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The late equalizer extended Manchester United's unbeaten run against Spurs to eight matches.

The game unfolded with United taking the lead in the first half through Bryan Mbeumo's header in the 32nd minute, assisted by an excellent cross from Amad Diallo. Mbeumo's goal was his sixth of the season. Tottenham struggled to find their rhythm in the first half, leading to boos from their home fans at halftime.

Tottenham showed significant improvement in the second half, with goalkeeper Senne Lammens making crucial saves to deny Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha. A potential equalizer from Brennan Johnson was ruled offside. The breakthrough for Spurs finally came in the 84th minute when substitute Mathys Tel scored with a shot that deflected off de Ligt. Just when it seemed Tottenham had completed the comeback, Richarlison headed in a goal in the 91st minute.

However, the drama wasn't over. In the 96th minute, De Ligt rose to meet a Bruno Fernandes corner, powering a header past Tottenham's goalkeeper to secure a point for United.

The draw means both teams now have 18 points after 11 games. Tottenham are third in the Premier League table, while Manchester United sit in seventh position due to goal difference.

Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo were stand out performers for Manchester United, both receiving an 8.5 rating. De Ligt received an 8.5 rating for his performance, redeeming himself after the deflection off Tel's goal, with his late goal securing the draw for Manchester United.

This result marks the first time Tottenham has ever taken the lead in the 90th minute or later in a Premier League game and then failed to win.
