Manchester United threw away their lead against Tottenham Hotspur, letting their opponents back into the match before both sides settled for a point in a thrilling 1-1 draw in the sixth round of the Premier League on Saturday evening at Old Trafford.

Spurs kept piling on the pressure. Lucas Bergvall fired in a shot in the 17th minute, before Mohammed Kudus wasted a golden chance in the 21st, dragging his effort just past the post.

Michael Carrick rang the changes in the 59th minute, bringing on Diogo Dalot for Leny Yoro, Carlos Baleba for Tielemans, and Joshua Zirkzee for Amad Diallo.
United struck first through Bryan Mbeumo in the 73rd minute. Matheus Cunha dribbled past Savio and slipped the ball to Mbeumo, who swept a low left-footed shot into the far corner.
A sending-off turns the tables: Solanke's sting

Lisandro Martinez picked up a yellow card in the 87th minute for his challenge on James Maddison.
The closing minutes brought a shock comeback for Tottenham. Dominic Solanke tucked away the equaliser after a cross from Sandro Tonali, dragging his side back into the match.
