Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, with Bryan Mbeumo among the standout performers in the dramatic draw
Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw by Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling Premier League clash on Saturday.
Bryan Mbeumo was once again the man of the moment, breaking the deadlock in the 32nd minute. The goal was set up beautifully by Amad, allowing United to take a one-goal lead into half-time.
Spurs came out fighting in the second half, desperate for an equaliser. Despite their struggles at home this season, they finally found a breakthrough courtesy of Mathys Tel. Richarlison thought he had sealed the deal in stoppage time, but Matthijs de Ligt had other ideas, netting in the 96th minute to snatch a point for United.
Here's how the United players were rated after Saturday's big game in north London...
Senne Lammens 6
He seemed a bit off at the start of the match but managed to regain his focus in the first half and kicked off the second half with two fantastic saves. Unfortunately, he couldn't keep out either of Spurs' goals.
Harry Maguire 5
Maguire was clearly fired up from the get-go, making a beeline for the away fans to show his appreciation. He put in a solid performance at the heart of the back three, making some crucial interceptions.
Matthijs de Ligt 6
Dutch manager Ronald Koeman has given Matthijs de Ligt a call-up to the national team for the upcoming international break. De Ligt certainly earned that recall, despite being partly to blame for the equaliser.
However, he made amends with a heroic header.
Luke Shaw 5
Shaw often ventured into midfield, which occasionally gave the formation the look of a back four. He had a decent game, but was still on the pitch when United let their lead slip.
Noussair Mazraoui 6
The aggressive pressing earned him praise from Amorim. It seemed unjust to substitute him in the 59th minute when Patrick Dorgu appeared to be the logical change.
Casemiro 5
He began the match with a few misplaced passes and was unable to secure victory for United.
Bruno Fernandes 5
He wasn't at his peak in the middle of the pitch. He appeared lethargic and didn't put up enough of a fight against Spurs' midfielders. He delivered the corner that led to De Ligt's goal.
Patrick Dorgu 4
He had difficulties during the first half. Despite replacing Diogo Dalot in the starting line-up, he still seems inexperienced and unconvincing. His final delivery around the box needs improvement.
Bryan Mbeumo 8
At times, he was unstoppable. He scored an excellent opening goal and now has four goals in his last five matches.
Amad 6
He obstructed Matheus Cunha, denying his teammate a scoring opportunity, but delivered a smart cross for Mbeumo's goal. He later switched to right wing-back.
Matheus Cunha 5
He was similar to Fernandes - not at his best against Tottenham. He received a yellow card at the start of the second half for kicking the ball away.
Subs.
Benjamin Sesko: Missed a couple of half chances. 4.
Manuel Ugarte: Allowed Pape Sarr to bypass him for Tottenham's goal. Feeble. 2.
Mason Mount: Gave it his all. 6.
Leny Yoro: Performed adequately after being brought on. 5.
Diogo Dalot: His first touch was heavy. 4.
