Dominic Solanke scored in the 92nd minute to secure a 1-1 draw for Tottenham after Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for a headbutt on Luke Shaw.

Dominic Solanke scored a 92nd-minute equalizer to secure a 1-1 draw for 10-man Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday. The result leaves United with just six points from their opening six Premier League matches, marking the club's lowest points total at this stage of a season since 1986. Bryan Mbeumo provided the opening goal for the home side before the visitors were reduced to 10 men.

Tottenham substitute Rodrigo Bentancur received a red card for aiming a headbutt at United defender Luke Shaw. Despite the numerical advantage, Michael Carrick's side failed to secure the win, marking the second time this season they have dropped points to a 10-man opponent following a previous loss to Manchester City. The late goal from Solanke lifted Tottenham off the bottom of the Premier League table.

United supporters met the final whistle with boos, a reaction Carrick described as "difficult to take" during his post-match news conference. This match represents the second occasion during the current campaign where United have surrendered a lead by conceding in stoppage time. The club remains without forward Sesko, as Carrick confirmed there is currently no timeline for his return to the squad.
