Ange Postecoglou has disclosed the reason for his decision to leave the Old Trafford field after his Tottenham team tied Manchester United. Rasmus Hojlund’s close-range goal put Spurs down after just three minutes, following poor clearing efforts from Pedro Porro and Cristian Romero.
Despite the poor start, Spurs gained momentum and soon found themselves in complete control of the match. Richarlison’s equalizer came in just before the half’s halfway mark. The Brazil international scored his sixth goal in as many Premier League appearances by rising highest to head in a corner from Porro.
Just before the interval, Marcus Rashford’s effort into the far corner gave Man United the lead again. With only 46 seconds remaining in the second half, Rodrigo Bentancur’s effort past Andre Onana brought Tottenham back level. Although they had been behind going into halftime, Spurs were soon overjoyed to regain the lead.
Major chances were few, but no goalie was beaten again despite four goals in just 46 minutes. Deep into added time, Scott McTominay headed over inside the six-yard box without being marked, creating the finest chance of the second session.
Postecoglou gave a resounding assessment following the match, clearly expressing his satisfaction with the performance as London gained a point. When asked about his players’ performance, he responded on Sky Sports, “I’m delighted with them, mate.” “I thought we played extremely well. We trailed 1-0, which can be tough when playing Manchester United here, but we came back with an incredible effort.
“We had some excellent opportunities and played excellent football, controlling the second half of the game.” The players performed exceptional, even though we’ve had a very difficult week off the field due to some serious illnesses.” When Postecoglou was questioned later in the interview about why he had turned to face the Tottenham dugout with a clinched fist and smiled after Richarlison’s score.
