Manchester United held the lead twice in Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford got on the scoresheet, but Scott McTominay wasted a big chance in injury time to win it for United, all while Spurs missed the chance to climb into the top four in the Premier League.
The Lilywhites dominated possession for lengthy spells but were gifted their goals thanks to terrible defending.
United are now seventh in the league table, eight points off fourth-placed Arsenal having played a game more.
Without further ado, here’s our Good & Bad column from Tottenham (H).
Good
- Hojlund and Rashford have started building on the chemistry of their partnership.
- Sir Jim Ratcliffe sat alongside Sir Alex Ferguson in the director’s box.
- Lisandro Martinez returns.
- Wan-Bissaka wasn’t a complete nightmare at right-back.
…& Bad
- Eriksen non-existent against an average Spurs midfield.
- McTominay’s opportunity to win it in stoppage time.
- John Brooks.
- Dalot inviting Tottenham players to run into our box.
- Jury still out on our new goalkeeper.
- Flat atmosphere which presumably stems from the season starting to feel like a write off.
- Cold conditions.
