Tottenham Hotspur moved up to third in the Premier League table after playing out a tense 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Saturday afternoon.
Tottenham Hotspur have managed to keep their unbeaten run against Manchester United in their last eight outings intact following the stalemate.
Spurs had to claw their way back into the game after trailing early on, with substitute Mathys Tel drawing them level before Richarlison turned the tie on its head.
However, Tottenham were left frustrated when Matthijs de Ligt found the back of the net late on for United, ensuring both sides shared the spoils at full-time.
On the balance of play, it felt like a fair result for both teams, yet Thomas Frank had more to worry about than just the dropped points, as a few of his players came off injured during the encounter.
Randal Kolo Muani was withdrawn at halftime after taking a knock, while captain Cristian Romero had to be replaced late in the second half by Kevin Danso after also picking up a minor issue.
Speaking after the match, Thomas Frank provided an encouraging update on both players, telling reporters that neither injury appeared serious.

On Romero, he said: “Just done physically. He just came back from that injury. He is fine.” On Kolo Muani, he added: “Actually struggled a little bit, but nothing big.”
Tottenham facing heavy injury list before international break
This league fixture marks Tottenham’s final outing before the November international break, which will come as a relief for Frank, who continues to juggle an ongoing injury crisis.
Ten players remain sidelined for Spurs, with Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski, Archie Gray, and Lucas Bergvall among those still recovering from various setbacks.
However, Tottenham could welcome back several of these players once club football resumes, which would be ideal timing as the matches begin to pile up rapidly during the busy festive period.
