Tottenham made history with a 2-2 draw with Manchester United!
The performance of the new season is far from meeting expectations, the Premier League giants Manchester United, ushered in a rare period of recuperation in January, there are only two games in the first month of the new year, in the third round of the FA Cup that has ended, Manchester United defeated the low-division team Wigan Athletic away, and advanced to the next round, and on this match day, the Red Devils ushered in the 21st round of the Premier League test, sitting at the Theatre of Dreams Old Trafford to face the arch-rival Tottenham, in the first leg of the season between the two sides, Tottenham Hotspur won Manchester United at home, but this game, Tottenham's forward core Son Heung-min was absent, and followed the South Korean team to start the journey of the Asian Cup, which also made Manchester United see the hope of revengeAfter the start of the game, in the face of a remnant Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United still could not take advantage of the field, although the goals of Hojlen and Rashford, let the Red Devils who were playing at home take the lead twice, but the tenacious Tottenham still relied on Richarlison and Bentancur's goals, 2-2 away to draw Manchester United, from Old Trafford!
This game against Tottenham Hotspur is a great opportunity for Manchester United to take revenge, in addition to playing at home, there is also a very important reason that many opponents are absent, Lo Celso, Perisic and Maddison are absent due to injury, Sarr, Bissouma and Son Heung-min follow the national team, which directly makes Tottenham's overall strength fall off a cliff, which is also the reason why Ten Hag was full of confidence before the game, and said in an interview that no matter who is sent, he must win Tottenham at home.
Although Hojlen's blitz in the opening 3 minutes and Rashford's goal in the 40th minute helped Manchester United take the lead twice, but they could not hide the fact that they were crushed by the remnants of Tottenham Hotspur in the whole game, Tottenham completed 16 shots on goal with 64% possession in the whole game, 6 of which hit the goal frame, while Manchester United only hit the target with only 2 of 9 shots on goal.
Tottenham Hotspur, who did not win at home, allowed Manchester United to win only one of the last six rounds of the Premier League, but this did not affect Ten Hag's post-match press conference to kill the opponent, in an interview with the British media "Sky Sports", Ten Hag said confidently: Manchester United's forward trio is growing, and the new owner Sir Ratkelf and the legendary manager Alex Ferguson who sat in the stands to supervise the game have seen a team fighting for each other!
After this game, Manchester United temporarily ranked seventh in the standings, although there is still hope of impacting the Champions League, but their performance has made fans completely hopeless, but it is the remnants of Tottenham, let all teams see their tenacity and potential, and this game they also made history in the Theater of Dreams, that is, 33 consecutive Premier League games have scored goals, equaling the longest record in team history, I believe that after the return of the main players, Tottenham is very hopeful to play a wave of consecutive wins, back to the top four in the Premier League standings.
Tottenham's excellent performance, undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Villa, who are third in the standings, and Arsenal, who are fourth, after the strong dialogue with Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal have the same points, because the disadvantage of goal difference is temporarily fifth, and it is only 3 points less than Villa, once the record of Villa and Arsenal declines in the second half, Tottenham is very hopeful to replace it!
