Matthijs de Ligt equalized in the sixth minute of a dramatic period of stoppage time to earn Manchester United a 2-2 draw at Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday.
Tottenham looked like claiming all three points when Richarlison glanced in a header in the first minute of added-on time, completing its comeback from a goal down.
There was still time for De Ligt to find space at the back post at a corner to direct a header goalward and over the line before Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario clawed the ball away.
Trailing to Bryan Mbeumo´s 32nd-minute header, Tottenham dominated the second half and grabbed an equalizer in the 84th through substitute Mathys Tel´s shot that deflected in off De Ligt.
United extended its unbeaten run in the league to five games - three wins followed by two draws - while Tottenham has only won one of its six homes games so far.
Later, Arsenal takes a six-point lead into a match at Sunderland, while Chelsea hosts Wolverhampton in one of three other games.
