Tottenham score an injury-time equaliser against Manchester United after Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for headbutting Luke Shaw. What do BBC Sport's player ratings mean? Senne Lammens: Made a major early error that could have had disastrous consequences but the Belgian recovered to make the save from Dominic Solanke.
Mis-control shortly afterwards showed more signs of nerves and pass straight out of play summed up United's first half hour. Might have done better for equaliser. 5 Leny Yoro (off 59, Dalot): Given a start after making France debut and excellent tackle to deny Jan Paul van Hecke a clear sight at goal. Decent effort. 7 Harry Maguire: Usual solid presence at the heart of the home defence but no chance to threaten at the other end and fact he did try a shot from 30 yards suggested lack . 7 Lisandro Martinez: Partnership with Maguire a plus point for Man Utd but was totally outmuscled by Solanke for Spurs' equaliser. 6 Luke Shaw: One of the home side's more consistent performers and got forward to force a corner early in the second period and made a vital intervention at the other end.
Lucky to avoid red card for his reactionary shove on Rodrigo Bentancur? 6 Kobbie Mainoo: Caught in possession on too many occasions, even if the passes he was receiving inside his own half were ill-advised. Tried to get on the ball in deep lying midfield role. Excellent block to deny Savio. 7 Youri Tielemans (off 59, Baleba): Lucky to get away with being robbed by Savio deep in the United half due to debatable free-kick but calm in heading the ball back to Lammens to relieve pressure on home goal. 6 Amad Diallo (off 59, Zirkzee): Took a long time to get into the game on his first appearance of the season but eventually had home side's first shot. 6 Bruno Fernandes: Shadow of the player who deservedly won all the player of the year awards last season.
Didn't shoot when had the chance suggests confidence levels have dipped. 5 Matheus Cunha: Reaction to negativity from the stands shows he cares but, like many, yet to reach last term's levels. Provided the pass for Mbuemo's goal. 6 Bryan Mbeumo: Didn't have enough support to be effective in the lead striking role but led one counter and turned smartly to score United's goal. 8. Diogo Dalot (on 59, Yoro): Nearly set up Bruno Fernandes with cross from the right. 5 Carlos Baleba (on 59, Tielemans): Introduction injected life into home fans and made plenty of tackles. 5 Joshua Zirkzee (on 59, Amad): Quickly into action to force a corner and let Tottenham know he was there. 6 Subs not used: Karl Darlow, Mason Mount, Andrey Santos, Shea Lacey.
Antonin Kinsky: Not much to do for half an hour. Eventually made comfortable save to deny Amad. Couldn't get to Mbeumo's shot. 6 Archie Gray: Decent effort but getting sucked into making a tackle he didn't need to on Cunha underlined his inexperience. 7 Jan Paul van Hecke: Probably expected to be under more pressure than he was.
Header from Tottenham corner nearly caught Man Utd out. Didn't get tight enough to Mbeumo for United's goal. 6 Marcos Senesi (off 89, Mateus Fernandes): In control for most of the opening half and would have been unlucky to end up on losing side. 7 Destiny Udogie (off 74, Van de Ven): Had the better of his personal duel with Amad but eventually replaced as faded in second half. 6 Lucas Bergvall (off 65, Bentancur): Lot of energy in midfield and worked incredibly hard but end product was lacking. 6 Sandro Tonali: Given far too much room in the centre of the pitch, which allowed him to dominate. No surprise his cross led to Tottenham's equaliser. 7 Savio: Speed a huge threat to the home defence, one touch took him past Bruno Fernandes.
