Tottenham drew 1-1 at Manchester United after midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for headbutting Luke Shaw.
Tottenham drew 1-1 at Manchester United in a Premier League match where the visitors came from behind despite being reduced to ten men. Bryan Mbeumo put United ahead in the 73rd minute against the run of play. Five minutes later, Bentancur was sent off for headbutting Luke Shaw. Dominic Solanke then scored a crucial equaliser in the second minute of added time, lifting Tottenham off the bottom of the Premier League table.
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi said the dismissal decision was correct. However, he praised his team's resilience and character in response, saying he valued the 'reaction' his players showed. De Zerbi told Sky Sports: 'We have to react in all ways we can. It's a bad way. It's not the right way. But I kissed Bentancur in the dressing room because we need this reaction, this type of reaction with character.' He said the team benefited from showing great resilience after going down to ten men, with United struggling to capitalise on their numerical advantage.
