Matthijs de Ligt salvaged a point to extend Manchester United's unbeaten run to five games in a ding-dong of a clash at Tottenham Hotspur.
Ruben Amorim's side were in cruise control for 45 minutes but, much like they did at Nottingham Forest a week ago, faded in the second as Spurs came from behind to lead 2-1 thanks to goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison.
United’s never-say-die spirit shone through once more. Just as Amad Diallo rescued a point a week ago, this time it was De Ligt - left unmarked at the back post from a corner - who came to the rescue.
Daily Mail Sport's NATHAN SALT was on hand at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to rate both sets of players...
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (4-2-3-1)
Guglielmo Vicario - 4.5
Hard to be overly critical about the first goal he conceded - the second is much more suspect - but his distribution often put his team on the back foot, the opposite of what he should be doing. The groans every time his long ball went awry (only 2/13 were accurate to a Spurs player) told a story of a fan-base that has lost confidence in their goalkeeper.
Pedro Porro - 5
Got caught napping when Mbeumo went in behind him to head in the opening goal. Often so adventurous, Porro found himself caught in two minds whether to stick or twist due to the complex nature of trying to contain Mbeumo. Put in some good deliveries but nowhere near enough.
Cristian Romero - 6
Undoubtedly a good player but he makes too many rash decisions. Was fortunate not to pay a heavier price when Benjamin Sesko got in behind him after a brilliant through ball by Mason Mount. Booked.
Micky van de Ven - 6.5
Made a crucial last man tackle in the second half that allowed Tottenham to hang in there long enough to steal the lead. Wasn't at his imperious best like he has been so often this season but his dominance elevated as the game wore on.
Djed Spence - 6
Failed to create a chance or produce an accurate cross in 90-plus minutes of football. Deserves credit for limiting United down that side for most of the game but the United opener did come down his side, which he will need to legislate for when analysis kicks in.
Pape Matar Sarr - 7
Completed the most passes of any player on the pitch in a frantic occasion here in North London. He was central to ensuring Spurs had greater control in the midfield after a disjointed first half where they looked miles off it.
Joao Palhinha - 6
Had one of Spurs' best chances when he stung the palms of Senne Lammens in the early onslaught to start the second half. Saw a lot of the ball but didn't manage to create a single chance in the 79 minutes he got on the pitch. Even as a defensive midfielder, that's just not good enough.
Brennan Johnson - 5
Did slide the ball into the back of the net around the hour mark but was comfortably offside. He was giving Patrick Dorgu fits in the early stages but a bit like his team-mates, he eventually ran out of steam and ideas. Booked for a penalty box tussle with Matthijs de Ligt, who would punish him in the closing seconds when he evaded him to score the equaliser at 2-2. Replays showed Johnson was totally lost keeping tabs on De Ligt and it was costly.
Xavi Simons - 5.5
Started with purpose and was always trying to look forward with his passing and his runs. Tottenham went big on Simons in the summer and on the other side Manchester United showed just why Premier League proven was the way to go. Simons' lack of end product encapsulated that, even if fans booed the decision to substitute him.
Richarlison - 7
Looked like he would be left to rue a chance just 15 minutes in when he missed a free header eight yards out 15 minutes in. Got to make amends in the most spectacular of fashions when he headed in what he thought was the winner in stoppage time. Booked for taking his shirt off - but he didn't care one bit!
Randall Kolo Muani - 3
Started through the middle, had an Expected Goals of 0.01 by the time he went off. Got 45 minutes as the most central attacker in Tottenham's 4-2-3-1 system and mustered just one touch in the United box. Completely and utterly anonymous.
MANAGER: Thomas Frank - 6
His substitutions made much more of an impact that his counterpart's did. Deserves credit for helping inspire his team back into the game… but fundamentally something isn't right here at home. If he can't get to the bottom of it soon, this problem will run and run.
SUBS
Wilson Odobert (for Randall Kolo Muani, 46) - 6.5
Destiny Udogie (for Pedro Porro, 67) - 6
Rodrigo Bentancur (for Joao Palhinha, 79) - 5
Mathys Tel (for Xavi Simons, 79) - 7.5
Kevin Danso (for Cristian Romero, 88)
MANCHESTER UNITED (3-4-2-1)
Senne Lammens - 7
Gave a real fright to the travelling fans, as well as his manager, just 40 seconds in when he miscalculated a back pass as it ran under his foot. What followed was a series of super saves, the first to deny Cristian Romero, and the second to keep Joao Palhinha's acrobatic effort out. Will be disappointed with Richarlison's goal at 2-1 but the blame lay elsewhere.
Matthijs de Ligt - 7.5
He was really aggressive, particularly in his press, and was the most dominant player on the pitch at set pieces. Looked like he was to be the villain of the piece when he allowed Mathys Tel to spin him in the box to equalise six minutes from time. His gritted teeth in the immediate aftermath showed he knew he'd cost his side. But what a way to make amends, heading in with seconds left. A goal his performance, bar one error, deserved.
Harry Maguire - 7
Brought into the side as part of a reshuffle back to the approach that United took away to Liverpool at Anfield. Nullified Randall Kolo Muani to completely anonymity before he was hooked in the first half, then made Richarlison look very ordinary indeed. Pulled up with what looked like a hamstring injury 20 minutes from full time and limped off.
Luke Shaw - 7
With every passing week he's making his lack of an England recall all the more peculiar. Manchester United are reaping the rewards of a fit Shaw, one who has bags of experience and broad shoulders to deal with the pressure when the going gets tough. One of the most underrated Premier League players this season in my view.
Noussair Mazraoui - 6.5
While the Moroccan doesn't offer a great deal going forward as right wing-back, he's experienced, rarely puts a foot wrong and is someone Ruben Amorim can rely on. Plugged in a valuable hour here. Those types of players are worth their weight in gold.
Casemiro - 6
The away end gladly chanted his name during a comfortable first half but as Casemiro lost control in the second, so did United. He's still plugging in a valuable hour from the start of matches but his substitution looked only a matter of time from when the second half began.
Bruno Fernandes - 6
One of his more understated displays this season as the United captain took a backseat role to proceedings. Part of that credit goes to Tottenham for shutting him down. Could do with a rest… not that he'll get it during a busy international break.
Patrick Dorgu - 5.5
Struggled early on in what is his first start since the brutal defeat at Brentford. Got the runaround by Brennan Johnson and soon had Ruben Amorim shaking his head when he didn't pass forward. With the guidance of Bryan Mbeumo, who was helping babysit him down the left, he grew into this contest.
Amad Diallo - 6.5
Playing as a No 10 alongside Bryan Mbeumo for the first time since the Manchester derby, only this time he was the one kept in his preferred right-sided position. It paid off with a sublime assist for Mbeumo to open the scoring. Finished this one pretty quietly at wing-back once Benjamin Sesko came on.
Bryan Mbeumo - 7
Man of the moment right now for United and it was he who scored in front of the away end with a smart header to make it 1-0. He caused Pedro Porro all sorts of problems and ultimately he got into his marker's head, which is always a good place to be as an attacker. Faded with the rest of the team as it wore on.
Matheus Cunha - 6.5
Was tasked with playing through the middle with Benjamin Sesko dropped and it can be a thankless task in a Ruben Amorim system. Managed just the one shot before he was taken off - although his defensive contributions out of possession shouldn't go unnoticed. Did a lot of the dirty work he often gets accused of shirking.
MANAGER: Ruben Amorim - 6
Produced the perfect game plan for 45 minutes, then what could go wrong in the second 45 did go wrong. Finishing the game with 10 men after Benjamin Sesko limped off encapsulated how this very winnable game somehow went wrong. Escaped with a draw to keep the unbeaten run going but this was two points dropped.
SUBS
Benjamin Sesko (for Noussair Mazraoui, 59) - 3
Manuel Ugarte (for Casemiro, 72) - 4
Mason Mount (for Matheus Cunha, 72) - 6
Leny Yoro (for Harry Maguire, 72) - 6
Diogo Dalot (for Patrick Dorgu, 80)
