Tottenham, the Premier League giant that won the Europa League last season, resolutely chose to change coaches during the offseason. After Frank took over, the team's performance in the league has improved significantly. However, last week's performance was poor. In the fourth round of the EFL Cup, they were eliminated by Newcastle United in the fourth round of the EFL Cup. They were defeated by Chelsea at home over the weekend. Fortunately, in this week's Champions League, Tottenham defeated Copenhagen with 4 goals and returned to the winning track.

On this match day, Tottenham faced a strong dialogue in the eleventh round of the Premier League, playing against the Red Devils and Manchester United at home. In this game, Mbemo, who was ridiculed by fans as the King of the Premier League because of his resemblance to James, scored in the first half to help the Red Devils take the lead. But Ter and Risaarison scored 2 consecutive goals to lead the score. De Ligt scored at the last moment, and Manchester United struggled to get a draw 2-2.

Last season, Tottenham were the biggest sufferer of Manchester United. They not only defeated the Red Devils at home and away in the Premier League, but also eliminated Manchester United in the EFL Cup. In the final game of the season, they defeated the Red Devils in the EFL Cup final and won the championship trophy. In order to continue their strong development Frank had no reservations at home in this campaign. In the 4231 formation, Vicario was asked to guard the goal, Spence, Van der Ven, Romero and Polo built the defense. Sarr and Palinha partnered as a double midfielder. Rissarisson, Simmons and Johnson were in the midfield, and Muani was the single arrow.

After undergoing reinforcements during the summer window, Manchester United's overall strength has been significantly improved. Amorim, who is eager for revenge, follows his favorite three-back system, with starting goalkeeper Ramens, De Ligt, Maguire and Luke Shaw partnering as a three-back, Mazraoui, Casemiro, B Fe and Dolgu lined up in the midfield, Amad and Mbeumo form a double attacking midfielder, and Cunha advances alone.

Lamence, who was slightly nervous at the beginning of the game, made a low-level mistake. He failed to stop the return pass from his teammate, and the ball went directly out of the baseline. In the 16th minute, Tottenham, playing at home, took the lead in launching an offensive. Johnson made a pass from the right. Unfortunately, Richarlison in front of the goal failed to touch the ball, and the Red Devils failed to shoot in the first 15 minutes for the first time this season.

However, Manchester United took the lead in scoring in the 32nd minute. Amade passed with a leg from the right, and Mbeumo scored with a header, helping Manchester United take a 1-0 lead. He contributed 4 goals and 1 assist in three consecutive away games against Tottenham, making Mbemo the visiting player with the most goals at Tottenham's home court in the past five seasons.

Tottenham, unwilling to lose, put pressure on Manchester United's defense. In the 54th minute, they completed the most threatening attack after the opening. Romero was banned. After receiving a pass from his teammate in the zone, the close shot was resolved by Lamenz with a superb save. 2 minutes later, Tottenham made a comeback. Palinha's lying shot directly penetrated Maguire's crotch, but still could not break through Lamens's ten fingers.

In the 62nd minute, after Tottenham stole the ball in the midfield, they immediately counterattacked. Although Johnson scored a single goal, the goal was canceled due to offside. Tottenham, who continued to attack wildly, finally equalized the score in the 84th minute. Terr, who came on as a substitute, turned around in the penalty area. The volley left Lamence helpless and tied the score at 1. The rising Tottenham took the lead in the 91st minute of stoppage time. Odobel fired from outside the penalty area and Rissarisson headed the ball to make the score 2-1. However, Manchester United did not give up. De Ligt's equalizing goal at the last moment fixed the score at 2-2.

[Game data]

Relying on De Ligt's critical savior, Tottenham failed to complete three consecutive league wins against Manchester United for the first time in 65 years. Next, football will enter the international competition window. After the Premier League starts again, Manchester United will face Everton at home. Whether Amorim can lead the team back to the track of winning, let us wait and see.
