BROGBA: United saved by Pogba, Bruno's brilliance against Tottenham

Manchester United escaped a defeat at the hands of Tottenham on Friday night, thanks to (BROGBA) Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes' brilliance.

The away side fell behind in the first half after Steven Bergwijn gave Jose Mourinho's men the lead.

However, United’s second-half pressure finally told nine minutes from time when Fernandes converted from the spot after Paul Pogba had been brought down in the box.

Fernandes then thought he had won a second penalty, but a VAR review decided there was little contact as he went down under a challenge from Eric Dier.

A point does little for either side’s chances of breaking into the top four.

United remain in fifth, two points behind Chelsea, while Spurs are four points further back in eighth.

In keeping with all matches since the Premier League’s return earlier this week, all players and officials took a knee before the kick in protest against racial injustice.
