Match facts[]
Head-to-head[]
- Tottenham completed the Premier League double over Manchester United last season – they last won three consecutive league games against the Red Devils in 1959/1960.
- Manchester United are winless in their last seven meetings with Tottenham in all competitions (D2 L5), losing each of the last four – the last team to win five in a row against the Red Devils were Liverpool between 2000 and 2002.
Tottenham Hotspur[]
- No side has lost more home Premier League matches in 2025 than Tottenham Hotspur (9). Only in 1994 and 2003 (10 in each) have Spurs reached double figures for home defeats in a year in their league history.
- Across spells with Brentford and Spurs, Thomas Frank has suffered nine defeats in his last 16 home Premier League matches (W3 D4). Before this run, his Brentford side had won seven of their previous eight home games (D1).
- Spurs registered an xG of just 0.1 in their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea on MD10, the lowest by a team in a Premier League match so far this season. They are averaging just 9.7 shots per game this season (97 in 10 games), their lowest average in a Premier League campaign on record since 1997-98.
- Only three teams have given a lower proportion of minutes to English players in the Premier League this season than Spurs (7.8%) – it’s their lowest in a single campaign (previous lowest was 8.2% in 2023-24).
Manchester United[]
- Manchester United are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games (W3 D1), their joint best run under manager Rúben Amorim, while United last had a longer run without losing in January/February 2024 (five games), which was also the last time they netted two or more goals in five in a row.
- Only Liverpool (156) have had more shots in the Premier League this season than Manchester United (153) and no side has had more shots on target than they have (54). 66.7% of their shots have come from inside the box this season (102/153), their highest ratio since 2012-13 (66.8%), their last title-winning season.
- Only against Southampton and Brighton (5) has Man Utd’s Bryan Mbeumo scored more Premier League goals than he has against Spurs (4), with three of his four against them coming at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
- Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has 53 Premier League assists – since his debut in February 2020, only Mohamed Salah (64) and Kevin De Bruyne (58) have more. He’s assisted in his last two away games and is looking to do so in three away appearances in a row for the first time since November 2020.
Match Report[]
Matthijs de Ligt scored an equaliser deep into stoppage time to earn Manchester United a point in a dramatic finale to their Premier League match at Tottenham.
The Dutch defender headed home a corner in the last of six minutes of injury time to snatch a draw for United in a game they seemed to have control of - then almost lost.
Bryan Mbeumo had put the visitors ahead in the first half by heading home Amad Diallo's precise right-wing cross.
When United goalkeeper Senne Lammens made excellent saves to deny Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven after the break, Tottenham looked to be heading for their third successive home Premier League defeat.
However, the boos that accompanied Mathys Tel's introduction for Xavi Simons midway through the second half turned to cheers when he swivelled on to a cross six minutes from time, evaded the attentions of De Ligt and crashed a shot home.
The relief inside the stadium was palable - but much more was to come.
Richarlison - the subject of so much criticism recently - thought he had won it for Spurs when he flicked Wilson Odobert's long-range shot past Lammens.
But United, who finished with 10 men as striker Benjamin Sesko was injured after they had used all five substitutes, had other ideas.
With Lammens also up for United corner, De Ligt headed home from an acute angle to give his side a point.
There were disbelieving looks from both sides at the end.
Richarlison was almost in tears, having jubilantly celebrated his goal, only to realise it had not proved to be the winner.
United head coach Ruben Amorim was equally stunned, having watched his side almost toss away a game they seemed certain to win.
Who would be a manager? In those final frantic minutes, Thomas Frank and Amorim must have aged years.
Spurs boss Frank would surely have been preparing for more boos at the final whistle, given his side had been greeted in that manner at half-time and his decision to replace Simons with Tel had been questioned by the fans.
When the dust settles, there are bound to be questions asked of Tottenham's woeful defending for the first goal, which began with Djed Spence being unable to control a long punt downfield that was chased by Amad Diallo, and eventually needing Romero to come to the rescue.
Tottenham never sorted themselves out after that and Pape Sarr needlessly conceded possession inside his own penalty area, which eventually led to Amad's cross for Mbeumo.
Too often, the home side failed to make the most of promising attacking positions and defenders Romero and Van de Ven were the biggest threat until the drama at the end unfolded.
It meant Tottenham avoided a fourth home loss of the season but they have still only claimed two points from their last five games at their own stadium in the league, something that will have to be rectified if they are to continue fighting for a Champions League place.
Amorim's face was a picture at the end, that of someone who couldn't compute what he had just seen.
A coach who likes to control everything had just been put through the Premier League washing machine by one of those games where little seems to make sense.
On the plus side, United are now five games unbeaten. On the negative, for the second week in succession they failed to win after leading at the break, this time after they had been in control of a game against opponents who, unlike them, were not benefiting from having had a full week to prepare.
They also conceded two goals for the third game in a row - Amorim said on Thursday the leaky defence was a concern and that something has to be done about it. The question is, what?
On Saturday his side suffered after Harry Maguire and Casemiro had gone off. Given neither man seems to be able to complete a full 90 minutes a solution must be found.
As at Forest, United were also undone by crosses, a failing which Amorim said his players had been working to correct this week.
Evidently, there is much more still to do.
