Tottenham salvage injury-time draw at Manchester United after Bentancur red card
Tottenham rescued an injury-time equaliser at Old Trafford after Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for headbutting Luke Shaw, with the late goal cancelling out United's lead and leaving the match level.

WHAT HAPPENED
Rodrigo Bentancur was dismissed for a headbutt on Luke Shaw before Tottenham found a late leveller from a cross credited in the report to Sandro Tonali. The match saw a mix of early errors, defensive moments and late drama before the draw was confirmed.

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES
- Bryan Mbeumo (8): Turned smartly to score and was one of the game's highest-rated players.
- Savio (8): Noted for his pace; a goalbound shot was turned away by a defender and his one-touch runs troubled the hosts.
- Leny Yoro (7): Given a start after a France debut and produced an excellent tackle.
- Harry Maguire (7) and Marcos Senesi (7): Both received solid ratings for their defensive work.
- Sandro Tonali (7): Reportedly delivered the cross that led to Tottenham's equaliser.

OTHER NOTES
Senne Lammens was marked down for a major early error but recovered to make a key save. Bruno Fernandes received a 5 for a subdued performance; several substitutes were noted for injecting energy late in the match.
