No Lucas Bergvall in the match squad. Tottenham looked to take three points in the big meeting against Manchester United in the Premier League – but in the 96th minute of the match, Matthijs de Ligt saved points for United.

When Graham Potter named his first national team squad for the men's football team on Wednesday, young Tottenham star Lucas Bergvall was in the squad.

But against United, the midfielder was not in the squad, after being injured against Chelsea last weekend.

"For everyone who watched the game, it was obvious that he had suffered a concussion," coach Thomas Frank said this week.

In Bergvall's absence, Tottenham had to chase to get a result against Manchester United.

Bryan Mbuemo's header in the 32nd minute was the first goal of the match. Tottenham had many chances to equalise, and in the 60th minute the ball was in the net, but then Brennan Johnson was offside.

Only in the 84th minute of the match did the home team manage to equalize through substitute Mathys Tel. In added time, Richarlison then managed to head in a long shot from Wilson Odobert. A goal that looked to be the winning goal.

But on a corner kick in the last minute of the match, United defender Matthijs de Ligt scored and the match ended 2–2.
