De Ligt’s Last-Minute Header Saves Manchester United in a 2-2 Draw Against Tottenham
Manchester United snatched a dramatic 2-2 draw away at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening, thanks to a last-minute header from defender Matthijs de Ligt.
The game was full of twists and late drama. Tottenham took the lead in the first half and looked to have sealed all three points when Mathys Tél scored in the 84th minute to make it 2-1. But United refused to give up — and in the dying moments of stoppage time, De Ligt rose highest to nod home the equaliser, silencing the home crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
United showed strong character and fighting spirit, but questions remain about their defensive shape and concentration, especially in the final 15 minutes.
The result means both teams now sit on 18 points after 11 Premier League games, with goal difference separating them in the table.
