RUBEN CAN SEE THE LIGT!

Amorim's battlers refuse to lie down in a frantic finale as Matt finish denies Tottenham a comeback win

- BY GEORGE SESSIONS

MATTHIJS DE LIGT struck deep into stoppage time to rescue Manchester United a 2-2 draw after a dramatic finale at Tottenham.

This repeat of the Europa League final in May looked set to go the way of Ruben Amorim's improving team after Bryan Mbeumo haunted old Brentford boss Thomas Frank with a goal in the 32nd minute.

It sparked boos at the break from a disgruntled Spurs fanbase which has seen only three home wins in the Premier League in 2025.

But the hosts turned it around with substitute Mathys Tel producing an 84th-minute equaliser.

When Richarlison deflected in a shot by the excellent Wilson Odobert in the first minute of stoppage time, Frank looked set to get the statement home win in the league his five-month tenure had lacked.

Yet the home celebrations were followed by more late drama as De Ligt powered home a header from a corner in the sixth minute of added time.
