  • It took just six minutes for the hosts to put themselves ahead as a fierce strike from Marcus Rashford, right from the box, put the ball into the left bottom corner of the net.

    Notably, six minutes later, star striker Harry Kane shot a direct free-kick just high over the bar, while Rashford's 18th-minute free-kick also went wide.

    While six of them were from United, Serge Aurier's 39th-minute strike for Spurs saw a good save by David de Gea, only for Dele Alli to score the equalizer in the same minute.
