Manchester United drew 1-1 with Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham in the restart of each club’s Premier League campaign on Friday night.
The game began with the players on the field taking a knee in solidarity with the movement for racial justice in the United States, and kicked into life on 27 minutes when Steven Bergwijn‘s solo run and finish opened the scoring for the hosts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Bergwijn — latching onto the ball on the right wing — out-paced a trio of United defenders before his low-and-hard shot beat David De Gea in goal.
Bruno Fernandes equalised from the penalty spot nine minutes from time. After Paul Pogba drew an Eric Dier foul in the box, the Portugal international calmly sent Hugo Lloris the wrong way to secure the late draw.
United were given another penalty in the 90th minute but a VAR rightly ruled that Dier did not stomp on Fernandes when both players were going for a loose ball.
The result keeps Spurs in eighth place in the league table, six points away from a spot in the Champions League. United remain in fifth, two points off fourth-placed Chelsea.
