Tottenham drew with Manchester United at Old Trafford on October 10 after Dominic Solanke scored a late equalizer for the visitors, who had missed several chances and saw Rodrigo Bentancur sent off during the Premier League match, according to givemesport.

Tottenham entered the game without a win in five matches this season and bottom of the Premier League table, but created early opportunities against Manchester United before the hosts improved after halftime, according to givemesport.

Roberto De Zerbi selected Solanke as captain for the first time, and the striker had two major chances to score before his stoppage-time goal. Solanke first forced a save from Senne Lammens after Lucas Bergvall intercepted a pass.

The Tottenham forward later missed another opportunity when he shot over the bar after receiving Savio's pass across the penalty area. The missed chances left Tottenham unable to secure their first win of the season, according to givemesport.

Jim Beglin, a former Liverpool defender, commented on De Zerbi's reaction to Solanke's missed chance during the match broadcast.

"I think he's in disbelief at him." said Jim Beglin, former Liverpool defender.

Manchester United eventually took the lead through Bryan Mbeumo after 77 minutes, after Tottenham had failed to convert their earlier dominance. Bentancur's late red card increased the pressure on De Zerbi's team.

Solanke rescued a point for Tottenham with an injury-time header, but the result left the team still searching for a first league victory. According to givemesport, Tottenham continued to rely on Solanke as their main attacking option following the departures of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
