Tottenham appeared to have snatched a late victory after Richarlison flicked in Wilson Odobert’s shot during stoppage time.

Bryan Mbeumo had opened the scoring with a header in the 32nd minute, which seemed likely to secure all three points for his team.

The first half was largely uneventful, with few opportunities for either team aside from Mbeumo’s goal.

After the break, Tottenham put forth a stronger effort but found it challenging to penetrate United's defense, with Brennan Johnson having a goal disallowed by the linesman's flag.

However, the introduction of Tel ten minutes before the end changed the dynamics of the match, despite the crowd's disapproval over the substitution of Xavi Simons.

The striker maneuvered in the box and shot past goalkeeper Senne Lammens, aided by a deflection.

In stoppage time, a corner kick landed at Odobert's feet outside the box, and his curling attempt was diverted in by Richarlison, seemingly securing the win.
