Onana starts off a crazy counterattack by sending a great ball to Garnacho, who runs towards the goal. The Argentine winger passes to Bruno Fernandes, who chips a ball to Rashford. An interception by Udogie falls to Hojlund, who strikes the ball into the roof of the net to get the opener.

Spurs tried responding quickly, and Spurs signing Timo Werner almost grabbed his debut goal. He heads the ball towards the net but Evans heads the ball away for a corner. Bentancur flicks the ball to the far post but Dalot clears it from the line.

Richarlison would find the equalizer as a great ball by Pedro Porro from a corner found the head of the Brazilian. The Brazilian striker scores past Onana and grabs his 7th goal of the league. In just 20 games, Porro provided the most assists [7] in a Premier League than any Spurs defender has ever managed in one campaign.

Marcus Rashford punishes Spurs with a late goal in the first half

Marcus Rashford gives Man United the lead once again in the 40th minute. The English winger played a one-two with Hojlund before shooting a low-driven shot past Vicario and into the bottom corner.

Spurs tried to respond before halftime and were close with two chances. Timo Werner takes another shot toward the goal, but it goes wide. Romero wins a great healer in the box but hits the crossbar. United got lucky to avoid the equalizer late in the first half, but with this result, the Red Devils can jump to 7th.
