Manchester United secured a dramatic 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday after blowing a 1-0 lead but clawing back to grab a big point at the death.
Bryan Mbeumo kept his scoring run going by netting the opener in the 32nd minute, with Amad providing the stellar assist. United maintained their one-goal lead until half-time. Tottenham came out fighting for an equaliser in the second half. Despite their struggles at home this season, they finally made a breakthrough thanks to Mathys Tel.
Richarlison thought he'd clinched the win for Spurs in added time, but Matthijs de Ligt scored in the 96th minute to salvage a point for United and send the away faithful wild.
Here's how United's players performed in North London, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Senne Lammens
He seemed off the pace at the start of the match but sharpened up in the first half and kicked off the second half with two excellent saves. However, he couldn't prevent either of Tottenham's goals. 7.
Harry Maguire
He appeared fired up from the get-go, acknowledging the away fans with applause. He put in a solid performance at the heart of the back three, making crucial interceptions and him going off injured before Spurs' two goals was a big blow. 7.
Matthijs de Ligt
Dutch manager Ronald Koeman has recalled Matthijs de Ligt to the national team for the upcoming international break. De Ligt earned that recall, but was culpable for the equaliser. He then redeemed himself with a heroic header. 6.
Luke Shaw
He occasionally moved into midfield, which sometimes gave the formation the look of a back four. Shaw had a decent game, but was on the pitch during the late collapse. 5.

Noussair Mazraoui
He was praised by Amorim for his aggressive pressing. It seemed unfair to substitute him in the 59th minute when Patrick Dorgu appeared to be the logical choice for a change. 6.
Casemiro
His early loose passes set a poor tone, and he failed to help United secure the win. 5.
Bruno Fernandes.
He struggled in the centre of the pitch, appearing lethargic and not combative enough against Spurs' midfielders. He did, however, deliver the corner that led to De Ligt's goal. 5.
Patrick Dorgu
He had a difficult first half. Despite replacing Diogo Dalot in the starting line-up, he still seems raw and unconvincing. His final ball around the box needs improvement. 4.

Bryan Mbeumo
At times, he was unstoppable. He scored a fantastic opening goal and now boasts four goals in his last five games. 8.
Amad
He obstructed Matheus Cunha, denying his teammate a scoring opportunity, but delivered a smart cross for Mbeumo's goal. He later shifted to right wing-back. 6.
Matheus Cunha
Like Fernandes, he was off his game against Tottenham. He received a yellow card early in the second half for kicking the ball away. 5.
Subs
Benjamin Sesko
Missed a couple of half chances. 4.
Ruben Amorim made five substitutes versus Tottenham, meaning when Benjamin Sesko went off injured, they had to end the game with 10 men

Manuel Ugarte
Allowed Pape Sarr to bypass him for Tottenham's goal. Weak performance. 3.
Mason Mount
Gave it his all. 6.
Leny Yoro
Performed adequately after coming on. 6.
Diogo Dalot

His first touch was heavy. 4.
