Tottenham v Manchester United ratings: Richarlison 7, Kane 6; Fernandes 8, Rashford 7

Spurs fight back from two goals down to claim a 2-2 draw, although the result favours United in the race for the Premier League top four

TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Fraser Forster – 7. Replacing the injured Hugo Lloris, Forster could do little about either of United’s first-half goals but he did prevent Rashford adding to United’s lead twice within a matter of minutes with great reflexes. Denied Wan-Bissaka when Fernandes hit the bar. Reuters

Cristian Romero – 6. Undone by the overlapping run of Eriksen in the lead-up to United’s opening goal but produced a superb block to deny Sancho a second. Improved as the game went on to cover the backline. PA

Eric Dier – 5. Backed off his England teammate as Rashford got the better of him to slot past Forster. Unbelievably, he failed to find the target with a header at close range. Getty

Clement Lenglet – 6. The Frenchman returned to the starting line-up as acting head coach Ryan Mason resorted to a back three, and saw a header bounce just over the bar after half-time. Getty

Pedro Porro – 6. Returning to the left wingback position, Porro found some success on the flank but ultimately looked vulnerable in defence against Sancho and Rashford. Brilliant finish for his goal, which seemed to surprise the player himself. Getty

Oliver Skipp – 6. Beaten twice in a matter of seconds by Rashford who skipped past the Spurs player in the build-up to Sancho’s goal. Later produced a crucial challenge to deny the United goalscorer a shooting opportunity. AFP

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – 5. Picked up the first booking of the game. The Dane then decided to take it upon himself to try his luck with a flying shot from distance, which went wayward. A later rebounded shot did come closer but was wide of the post. Reuters

Ivan Perisic – 7. Denied Sancho a second goal within 20 minutes with an excellent goal-line clearance when Forster was beaten by a deflected shot. Later, he forced De Gea into a point-blank save from Porro's corner. He then sent the ball towards goal to create a frenzy in the six-yard box before Porro found the net. Reuters

Richarlison – 7. One of three changes, and was Spurs’s liveliest player in the first half, causing problems for United whenever he cut inside. Unfortunate to be taken off early in the second half. Getty

Son Heung-Min – 6. After side-footing a chance of an equaliser wide of the target, Son linked well with Kane to put Spurs on level terms. EPA

Harry Kane – 6. Saw greater success in the second half trying to make things happen, while he had a close-range effort blocked before shooting straight at De Gea. Assisted Son with a brilliant ball. EPA

SUBS: Dejan Kulusevski (Richarlison 61’) – 6. Made a noise upon his introduction by whipping in a superb ball that United had to deal with, as Perisic looked ready to pounce. Later, he saw a shot go wide of the post. AFP

Arnaut Danjuma (Porro 77’) – N/R. Brought on to help get the equaliser but would have seen a goal called offside had he scored from Kane’s cross. AP

Ben Davies (Perisic 77’) – N/R. A slightly bizarre decision replacing Perisic who looked to be finding his rhythm. PA

Japhet Tanganga (Son 88’) N/R. A late change to replace the goalscorer. PA

MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: David De Gea – 7. Flicked Perisic’s header away on 28 and made a big save from the same player on 43. Unhappy that he felt obstructed for Spurs goal. Busy second half but conceded goals for the first time in four league games. AP

Aaron Wan Bissaka – 8. Held Richarlison off in defence, put a dangerous ball in attack. Took the ball off Son as he ran towards the United goal. Header saved by Forster at 2-1, then headed a Spurs attack away. Playing well. Booked and brought off on 70. Getty

Victor Lindelof – 7. Impressive at Wembley on Sunday and blocked a fourth minute Spurs attack. A different experience for him in the second half, as Spurs turned from listless to energetic. Booked and fortunate not to get a second booking. AP

Luke Shaw – 7. Continues to do well as left-centre back, reading and stopping Spurs’ attack well. Well beaten by Kane in one 65th minute Spurs attack. Beautiful ball to Casemiro on 92. Getty

Diogo Dalot – 6. Couldn’t clear the ball fully before Spurs scored their first in front of a sell-out 61,586 crowd. Turned the ball back to stop an 88th minute Spurs attack. PA

Casemiro – 6. Not at his best but helped United find space amid opposition players all over the pitch, counter attacking with pace as United played through a passive Spurs. Screened the defence. Headed over the ball on 92. No repeat of his late header at Chelsea. Reuters

Christian Eriksen – 6. Quick passes to and from Antony caused Spurs continual problems. Turned a ball towards Rashford and helped control the tempo of the game, one United lost in the second half. AFP

Antony – 7. A threat in attack, but also in robbing the ball back as United’s fast first half movement troubled Tottenham. Brought off as his influence faded. Getty

Bruno Fernandes – 8. Sublime turn of Dier before a shot on 25. Lovely ball to play in Rashford on 39 for the second. Beautiful skill to cut through the Spurs defence before hitting the crossbar. Hit a 70th minute shot towards the far corner of the goal. Didn’t deserve to be in a side that didn’t win. EPA

Jadon Sancho – 7. Brilliant finish six minutes into the game, coming inside to whip the ball around Romero into the goal. Another effort could have made it 2-0 on 18, but Perisic cleared off the line. Had the better of Porro. First player off in a series of substitutions which didn’t work. EPA

Marcus Rashford – 7. On it in the first half. Central to the opening goal, running towards goal before setting up Sancho’s strike. Struck a 12th-minute free-kick narrowly wide and continued to be a danger. Shot on target on 41. Scored the second, his 29th of the season. Tried to add to it, but Spurs defended well in the second 45. Getty

SUBS: Fred (Eriksen 61’) – 5. Straight into chaos as Spurs pushed for a second. Chased balls down but gave balls away too. Terrible corner on 90. AP

Anthony Martial (Sancho 61’) – 4. Caught out messing around with the ball three minutes after coming on. Poor. Disjointed formation and performance in the second half. Reuters

Tyrell Malacia (Wan Bissaka 70’) – 5. Headed a Spurs attack away on 77. Out of position for Spurs second goal. Drop in quality from Wan Bissaka. EPA

Wout Weghorst (Antony 71’) – 6. Played as a No 10. Final 20 minutes and worked hard, but his side were slipping as he did. Getty

Tottenham Hotspur rallied from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Manchester United in a thrilling Premier League clash on Thursday that left the visitors cementing fourth spot.

The point left United six points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham with two games in hand and all but puts paid to the London side's hopes of Champions League football next season.

Jadon Sancho put United ahead after seven minutes when he cut in from the left and struck a low right-foot shot into the far corner past three defenders and goalkeeper Fraser Forster.

Rashford made it 2-0 just before halftime when he ran onto a long ball from Bruno Fernandes, outpaced Eric Dier and fired past Forster after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg lost possession.

Tottenham fullback Pedro Porro got the hosts back in the game when he hooked a shot past keeper David De Gea in the 56th minute after a Harry Kane effort was blocked.

The goal lifted Spurs and they created several more chances before Son Heung-min swept home a Kane cross in the 79th minute to rescue a point under interim head coach Ryan Mason.
