Tottenham earned a late point at Old Trafford, drawing 1-1 with Manchester United, NBC Sports reports. Bryan Mbeumo put United ahead on 73 minutes. Dominic Solanke then equalised in the second minute of eight added minutes, glancing in a Sandro Tonali cross according to beIN Sports. Spurs did it with ten men

The red card came around five minutes after United's goal. Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for headbutting Luke Shaw. Losing a man after going behind could have finished Spurs off. Instead, they found a way back

The flow of the game was unusual. Spurs dominated the first hour, and NBC said they could not have played any better for 60 minutes apart from putting the ball in the net. United took over after making three substitutions on 59 minutes. As NBC put it, sometimes football makes no sense

The point moves Spurs off the bottom of the table to 18th. They have still not won in six league games, which beIN Sports says has happened only four times in their history. United are having their worst league start in 40 years, which keeps the pressure on Michael Carrick. De Zerbi praised his team's spirit and character, saying they had not accepted defeat

We discussed the build up to this match, nicknamed El Sackicko, last week. Neither manager got the win he wanted, but De Zerbi will be the happier of the two. A strong first hour and a fighting late equaliser are positive signs for Spurs. United will be worried about how much they struggled before their substitutions

Who will be happier with the point? And does this result ease the pressure on either manager?

Solanke has been criticised a lot, but that equaliser was huge. Strikers live for moments like that

Hopefully it gives him confidence. Spurs need his goals. One goal can change a striker's season
