Despite playing away at Tottenham, Erik Ten Hag's side completely dominated the home team in the first half and took a two-goal lead after the break. Jadon Sancho opened the scoring for Man Utd after just seven minutes, while Marcus Rashford gave the home team a two-goal lead before half-time.
However, Man Utd suddenly slowed down in the second half and allowed Pedro Porro to score a goal to reduce the score to 1-2 in the 56th minute of the match. However, the match could have been completely different if just one minute later midfielder Bruno Fernandes had not missed the opportunity to help Man Utd restore the 2-goal gap.

In the 57th minute, receiving the ball in the penalty area, Bruno Fernandes overcame 3 defenders and faced goalkeeper Hugo Lloris at close range, but the Portuguese star unfortunately shot the ball against the crossbar and went out.
Even more bitter for Man Utd, in the 79th minute, Son Heung Min finished off goalkeeper De Gea to bring a 2-2 draw for the home team.
"We are so disappointed. We were 2-0 up. We had chances to make it 3-1 but we didn't take advantage of them," coach Erik Ten Hag expressed his disappointment after Bruno Fernandes' miss caused Man Utd to share points in round 33 of the Premier League.
Despite missing the chance to help the "Red Devils" win against Tottenham, Bruno Fernandes still received a lot of praise from the home fans. Because before the match, the Portuguese star suffered an ankle injury and had to wear a leg brace and walk on crutches.
The 28-year-old midfielder's continued efforts to play are considered a great effort to help his team compete for a place in the Champions League next season. Despite missing a chance to score, Bruno was the one who assisted Marcus Rashford's goal at the end of the first half.
After the draw with Tottenham, Man Utd will return to Old Trafford to welcome Aston Villa this weekend (8:00 p.m. March 30, Vietnam time). Currently, the "Red Devils" are ranked fourth in the Premier League table and still have played two games less than their opponents.
