Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United resumed their 2019/20 Premier League campaign with a hard-fought 1-1 draw on Friday night.

Steven Bergwijn's powerful 27th-minute drive and a Bruno Fernandes penalty in the final few minutes, won by Paul Pogba, completed the scoring with United goalkeeper David de Gea at fault for the Spurs goal.

De Gea made amends with a superb save from Son Heung-min soon after his mistake, while Hugo Lloris made a magnificent save from Anthony Martial as United chased an equaliser.
