Tottenham vs Man United live: Spurs find late equaliser to set up blockbuster finish in Premier League clash

Tottenham and Manchester United meet in an intriguing Premier League clash in which either could move to second in the table with victory.

The pair begin level on points and possess identical records thus far, with the visitors seemingly overcoming an early season crisis to find a degree of fluency under Ruben Amorim. While a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest was something of a set-back, the Manchester United manager suggested afterwards that it was the sort of game his side might have lost last season, taking the positives as they avoided defeat again.

Spurs were beaten by Chelsea in their last league outing, with a flat performance and the curious reactions of Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven at full time prompting a degree of discussion over Thomas Frank’s start to life in north London. A 4-0 thrashing of Copenhagen, then, was just the tonic in midweek for the manager with Van de Ven to the fore with an outstanding solo goal. Can they build more momentum here against an improving Manchester United?

GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Man United (Tel, 84')

14:11 , Will Castle

The fans didn’t like who he replaced, but Thomas Frank’s substitution has paid off!

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

14:10 , Will Castle

82 mins: Tottenham work it to the edge of the area, and the first thing Udogie does when he receives the ball is look up to the penalty box. There’s no-one there.

His cross to nobody is blocked and United go up the other end.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

14:08 , Will Castle

80 mins: That hasn’t gone down well. Thomas Frank has substituted Xavi Simons to jeers and boos inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tel comes on, while Bentancur replaces Palhinha who was booked a few minutes ago.

United have also made their fifth change of the afternoon, sending Dalot on for Dorgu - booked a mere 120 seconds ago,

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

14:06 , Will Castle

78 mins: Once again, Sesko is the target as Mount tries to play the Slovenian in behind. He’s a bit too static when he receives the ball and Romero gets back to challenge.

As Tottenham pass it out from the back, Dorgu leaves a foot in on Spence and is booked for his troubles.

Double sub coming for Spurs.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

14:02 , Will Castle

74 mins: Mbeumo tries to slip Sesko through but the ball runs through to Vicario. The flag goes up anyway.

After play resumes, it doesn’t continue for long as Romero takes a foot to the head.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

14:00 , Will Castle

72 mins: Triple sub for United as Yoro, Mount and Ugarte all enter the fray in place of the injured Maguire, as well as Cunha and Casemiro.

United are 18 minutes away from another win and just a second clean sheet this season.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:58 , Will Castle

70 mins: CHANCE! Harry Maguire looks to have picked up a hamstring problem - but instead of stopping play, a long ball is sent searching for Fernandes.

He takes it down brilliantly and tries to loft it over Vicario, but he can’t get the power right on the stretch.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:56 , Will Castle

67 mins: Another roll of the dice from Frank as Udogie replaces right-sided creator Porro.

He nearly has an instant impact as he dances into the box but with so many waiting, he can’t find a pass.

NO GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:50 , Will Castle

63 mins: Brennan Johnson has the ball in the net - but the flag goes up!

The Welshman was slipped in by Richarlison but he went too soon and he knew it.

Spurs are getting closer.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:48 , Will Castle

59 mins: Time for a Man United change - and it’s an attacking one.

Mazraoui comes off while Sesko enters the fray. Looks like Amad will move into the deeper right role.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:44 , Will Castle

56 mins: SAVE! Another huge stop from Lammens!

Richarlison’s header breaks to Palhinha who catches it expertly on the volley, but Lammens gets down well to deny the Portuguese midfielder.

With Lammens, United really feel like they’ve turned a page of their goalkeeping woes.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:43 , Will Castle

55 mins: SAVE! How on earth has Senne Lammens kept that out?!

Romero deftly flicks a cross towards goal and with the ball travelling at pace, he sticks out a leg and diverts around the post.

A sublime stop - but if that’s any further left or right of the Belgian, this game is level.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:40 , Will Castle

51 mins: Man United are looking really threatening on the break. They work it nicely on the edge of the Spurs box and get it to the byline before cutting it back, but nobody in red is there to finish.

Great desire to get into the Tottenham box, something there is a distinct lack of at the other end.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:36 , Will Castle

47 mins: Brilliant touch from Maguire to knock a deep delivery off the path towards Richarlison, who would have had a golden to chance to finish had the ball reached him.

The Brazilian was offside anyway, but Maguire wasn’t to know that.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:33 , Will Castle

46 mins: One change to note - Thomas Frank has hooked Kolo Muani and brought on Odobert.

HALF-TIME! Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:22 , Will Castle

Tottenham’s woes at home look to be continuing as Manchester United lead at the break.

Bryan Mbeumo broke the deadlock for the visitors, nodding past Guglielmo Vicario from Amad Diallo’s cross in the 32nd minute.

After pipping the Red Devils to the Europa League crown last term, Ruben Amorim is on course to get his sweet revenge.

HALF-TIME! Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:18 , Will Castle

There goes the whistle, met by boos from the home fans. Being a Tottenham Hotspur Stadium season ticket holder can’t be fun right now.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:17 , Will Castle

45+1 mins: Almost criminal that Spurs went backwards rather than get the ball into the box when it was filled with their centre-backs.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:16 , Will Castle

45 mins: Dorgu does really well to recover after being sent the wrong way by Kolo Muani, diving in to block and concede a corner. Once more, nothing comes from the delivery.

One minute added on.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:14 , Will Castle

43 mins: Richarlison wins back the ball in the United half and gives it Johnson, but the Welshman’s cross has a lot to be desired - flying over the bar with little bend as another opportunity vanishes.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:13 , Will Castle

40 mins: Tottenham have spent the last five or so minutes in possession to little outcome, but it finally seems like their patient play is leading to something as Simons and Kolo Muani link up in a lovely passage of play.

It’s worked wide to Richarlison but the chance dies as De Ligt outmuscles the Brazilian and shields the ball out of play.

Tottenham 0-1 Man United

13:09 , Will Castle

36 mins: While Tottenham started this game patiently, it’s now becoming quite clear that their patience has translated to a lack of urgency, which has hindered the service to their attacking threats.

Richarlison and Kolo Muani are among those to have had the fewest touches so far.

GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Man United (Mbeumo, 32')

13:03 , Will Castle

Ruben Amorim’s man of the moment gives United the lead!

The visitors pepper the Spurs box with crosses and at the third attempt, Mbeumo drifts away from his marker and nods past Vicario to break the deadlock.

That’s Mbeumo’s fifth in nine games against Tottenham.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

13:01 , Will Castle

29 mins: Spence does not deal with the bouncing ball after Spurs’ corner comes to nothing, allowing Amad to pounce.

He tries to break into the box but Johnson tracks back and thwarts the Ivorian with a brilliant challenge.

The Welshman concedes a corner and gets into a tussle with De Ligt before a ball is put into the box, ending up behind the goal post. Johnson is booked for his troubles.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:59 , Will Castle

27 mins: After a spell of United pressure, Xavi Simons leads a counter as the Dutchman drives into the opposition half.

He doesn’t have enough support so can’t spark anything noteworthy, but the passage of play does lead to a Spurs corner.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:57 , Will Castle

24 mins: Man United are turning the tables at the moment, spending the more and more time in the Spurs final third.

They’re targeting the left side defended by Porro, with multiple low crosses requiring interventions.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:55 , Will Castle

22 mins: Half-chance for United as Cunha knocks it beyond his man before darting into the box, only to be challenged and win a corner.

There was a handball claim in the build-up and there’s another from the resulting corner, with Richarlison kicking onto his own arm. Nothing given.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:53 , Will Castle

20 mins: Van de Ven skips past Amad to a big a cheer from the crowd - and after Copenhagen, we were all thinking the same thing.

Alas, he passes the ball to playful boos from the home crowd.

If you missed his exploits of midweek...

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:50 , Will Castle

18 mins: Tottenham enjoying a good spell here.

Sarr gets another shot off at goal, albeit an audacious one as he sliced over on the volley.

Simons then produces a wonderful bit of skill to turn and loft a ball over for Johnson to chase, but it just runs out for a throw.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:49 , Will Castle

16 mins: CHANCE! A super delivery but no finish to match!

Johnson whips in a dipping cross that goes over De Ligt and falls perfectly for the head of Richarlison, but the Brazilian completely misses the ball. It doesn’t even touch his shoulder and runs out for a goal kick.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:47 , Will Castle

15 mins: Richarlison does well to keep possession under pressure of De Ligt, jumping over flailing United legs as Spurs recycle.

The delivery whipped in from the right has so much pace and is too high for Lammens to claim, allowing Kolo Muani to collect and keep momentum in Tottenham’s favour.

The hosts remain in possession.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:44 , Will Castle

11 mins: Crisp one-touch football from both sides at the moment - neither side is rushing it when in possession but they aren’t afraid to play ambitious passes.

Brief stoppage in play as Kolo Muani turns into Harry Maguire and goes down holding his face. Might as well have been a brick wall.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:40 , Will Castle

7 mins: CHANCE! What an opportunity for United.

Fernandes links up with Cunha before slipping Mbeumo into the box. The Cameroonian squares it across the six-yard box, leaving the committed Vicario out of the picture, but there is no red shirt to tap into an open net.

The flag goes up on the far side, but once again it looks like the linesman got it wrong. If that goes to VAR, Spence likely would have been found to be playing Mbeumo on.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:38 , Will Castle

5 mins: Patient start from both sides, passing it around nicely before looking for the odd searching ball in behind.

Mbeumo tries to latch onto a ball down the line but the flag goes up. It was tight.

Tottenham 0-0 Man United

12:34 , Will Castle

1 min: That could have been catastrophic from Senne Lammens!

The Belgian keeper receives a backpass under no pressure but completely miscontrols the ball, with it running under his foot and beyond the byline.

Luckily, it runs out for a corner instead of rolling into his own net.

Man United's dire recent record against Spurs

12:18 , Will Castle

Manchester United have not beaten today’s opposition in their last seven clashes and are currently on a run of four consecutive losses against Spurs.

That streak of course includes last season’s Europa League final defeat, which saw Tottenham end their 17-year drought without silverware on that famous night in Bilbao.

Can Ruben Amorim’s somewhat rejuvenated side get some revenge this afternoon?

Thomas Frank gives Mohamed Kudus update

12:14 , Will Castle

Thomas Frank has provided an update on Mohammed Kudus, who missed out again today as he continues to nurse a knock.

“He didn’t make it for this,” he told TNT Sports. “I was really expecting it to be a short one, it was just too much of a short turnaround from the Chelsea game which was only a week ago.

“I’m quite confident he’ll be ready for the next game.”

Tottenham's dreadful home run

12:07 , Will Castle

Tottenham have the chance to leap into second this afternoon, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that from their home record.

Thomas Frank’s side have won just a single league game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season, with last weekend’s outing - a flat defeat to rivals Chelsea - showcasing their problems for all to see.

To say recent results in N17 will encourage Man United is an understatement.

Not the career change we were expecting for Toby but judging by this, maybe a path to pursue!

That night in Bilbao

11:38 , Will Castle

Today’s clash acts as the first meeting of Spurs and Man United since last season’s Europa League final, which saw the Lilywhites lift silverware for the first time in 17 years.

One of the greatest nights in the club’s history, it’s architect Ange Postecoglou was sacked a fortnight later, with European glory not enough to undo the damage of a 17th-place Premier League finish.

For Ruben Amorim, meanwhile, defeat in Bilbao was up there with the lowest moments of his United spell so far. Right now, with three wins in his last four, he’s in the midst of his best moment.

Let’s see if the Portuguese can serve up a bit of revenge today.

Ruben Amorim responds to Cristiano Ronaldo’s fresh criticism of Man United

11:30 , Will Castle

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has responded to Cristiano Ronaldo’s fresh criticism of the club, explaining that United “need to focus on is the future” and “forget the past”.

“Of course, he knows he has a huge impact with everything he says," said Amorim on Ronaldo’s comments, who asserted in an interview with Piers Morgan that the club “don’t have a structure” and are “not on a good path”.

“What we need to focus on is the future. We know that as a club we made a lot of mistakes in the past but we are trying to change that.

“Let's not focus on what happened, let's focus on what we are doing now. We are doing that, changing a lot of things in the structure, the way we do things, the way we want the players to behave.

“We are doing that and we are improving so let's focus on the way we are doing things. We are improving, let's continue and forget the past.”

Lisandro Martinez remains the only absentee for United, with Ruben Amorim facing decisions on who to start in defence after the lapses against Nottingham Forest. Harry Maguire could return to the side, while Patrick Dorgu could replace either Amad or Diogo Dalot at wing-back.

Thomas Frank provides Destiny Udogie update after alleged gun incident

11:00 , Will Castle

Thomas Frank says Tottenham are doing everything they can to support Destiny Udogie after a "terrible situation" in which he was allegedly threatened with a gun in north London.

"It is a terrible situation to have been in and I can't speak too much about it as it's a legal case, as we know, but the club and we have done everything we can to support him," Frank said.

"We'll do that and he's clearly doing well on the pitch, which is good and we'll keep supporting him."

How Pep Guardiola analyses his career on the brink of his 1,000th game

10:45 , Richard Jolly

Pep Guardiola is at the point in a career when he is nearer the end than the beginning, when a milestone can make him feeling nostalgic, where the reminders of his longevity are an indication of how much has achieved. Sunday will bring his 1,000th game in management. There will not be another 1,000. “Don't ask me,” he grimaced. “It's too much.” And not merely because Guardiola’s initial response to the figure was simply to say: “2,000 press conferences”.

When Guardiola talked of “insane numbers”, that was not actually what he had in mind. The Catalan did not know his exact win percentage – a mere 71.57 – but knew enough to realise that, on average, of every 10 games, he would win seven, draw one or two and lose one or two. He talked of his fortune in managing “extraordinary clubs”. One of the extraordinary elements, though, is that he has won at least 70 percent of his matches with each of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

He has 12 league titles, three Champions Leagues, an assortment of different trebles. It has led to suggestions he is the greatest ever. “Completely right,” said Guardiola, who can greet such praise with sarcastic, faux boasting. But the extended answer showed an acceptance that he has a place in the pantheon.

Thomas Frank believes Man Utd have advantage in battle for Champions League

10:15 , Will Castle

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank feels Manchester United have a key advantage in the battle for Champions League qualification in the “most competitive” Premier League.

When asked about the fact Ruben Amorim’s side aren’t competing in Europe this season, Frank insisted: “No doubt it’s an advantage, no doubt.

“I said from the beginning we want to be able to compete in both because of where we want to be. We need to be able to perform in Champions League and still to perform in the league.

“There’s no two ways about it, that’s for the fans, the status, the money, everything, the ambitions, what we want to achieve, but to have a week to prepare for a game, to have the freshness, that means something!

“I think in general the Premier League this season is the most competitive Premier League I’ve seen. This is my fifth year here.

“There’s so little between the teams. If I see the other games, I heard (Arne) Slot talk about the Aston Villa Villa game, small margins in that game as well, the momentum change in games – it’s very, very competitive.

“I think in the last couple of years the traditional big six, Newcastle is in there for a top seven, Villa is up there so that’s suddenly eight. Then there’s teams have that done fantastic. Brighton, Bournemouth also, so it’s just very competitive.

“Then it is just a different beast when you want to be up there, playing in Europe and also competing in the league.”

Ruben Amorim backs ‘control freak’ Benjamin Sesko after Gary Neville criticism

10:00 , Will Castle

Ruben Amorim has backed “control freak” Benjamin Sesko to succeed at Manchester United after Gary Neville claimed the striker was “well off it” compared to United’s other summer signings.

“I’m relaxed,” Amorim said of Sesko’s start to life at United. “He’s not relaxed.

“What I mean is that I understand how things are in football and he’s going to struggle. That is normal.

“He has no experience here and then the first impact when everyone says that ‘you are so good, you are the next big thing’, and you hear about that with Sesko. Then you come to one club that is the hardest club.

“If you don’t perform every week, you are going to hear a lot of things from club legends, from pundits, from the media, and sometimes they are right.

“To have the ability to understand that is normal and still maintain your level of confidence is really hard for a young kid, especially for a young kid that is a control freak, wants to control everything, and he’s not going to control everything.

“When I started training with Ben, he has more potential than I was thinking. He’s going to struggle and we need to understand how he likes to play also to put in our ideas, so I’m quite relaxed with that.

“He is going to be our striker for the long term, but he’s going to have these struggles and these bumps during the ride, and that is a normal thing in football.”

Leny Yoro: Why the world’s most expensive 18-year-old chose Man United over Real Madrid

09:45 , Richard Jolly

If it has been a problem for Manchester United that many a signing has not quite been who they seemed to be, Leny Yoro has a confession to make. He is not named after the bare-chested American rock musician Lenny Kravitz. “No, that’s not true,” he said. The source of such a seemingly outlandish suggestion came rather close to home: it was his own mother. “She wanted something for the media. She liked Lenny Kravitz, but she didn't take his name. It's just storytelling.”

And so the more pertinent part of his name may be the second half. It might become still more familiar with his brothers Esteban and Romeo in Lille’s academy, one a centre-back, the other a No 10. “I don't want them to be really involved in the Yoro name, because sometimes it's difficult for them to face this,” the older sibling said. “It's better for them to build their own career.”

The relevant influences may instead be Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane and Rio Ferdinand, the defenders Leny Yoro admires. “I try sometimes to also watch some clips, to compare my game with them,” he said. “This is something you need to reach the top, to look to the best, and I can speak with Rio Ferdinand sometimes for advice.”

Tottenham vs Man United LIVE!

09:30 , Will Castle

Good morning and welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of Saturday’s early kick-off between Tottenham and Manchester United.

The pair begin level on points and have a chance to leap into second in the Premier League, with the visitors seemingly overcoming an early season crisis to find a degree of fluency under Ruben Amorim. While a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest was something of a set-back, the Manchester United manager suggested afterwards that it was the sort of game his side might have lost last season, taking the positives as they avoided defeat again.

Spurs were beaten by Chelsea in their last league outing, with a flat performance and the curious reactions of Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven at full time prompting a degree of discussion over Thomas Frank’s start to life in north London. A 4-0 thrashing of Copenhagen, then, was just the tonic in midweek for the manager with Van de Ven to the fore with an outstanding solo goal. Can they build more momentum here against an improving Man United?

Stay tuned for all the build-up, team news and minute-by-minute updates from the clash!
