Premier League round-up
Tottenham and Man United share point in a frantic match
Matthijs de Ligt scored a dramatic 96th-minute equaliser as Manchester United snatched a 2-2 draw against Tottenham.
Both sides were chasing second place in the Premier League but had to settle for a point after a frantic ending. United went ahead in the 32nd minute through Bryan Mbeumo before Mathys Tel’s deflected strike levelled things in the 84th.
Richarlison looked to have sealed victory for Spurs with a 91st-minute header, but De Ligt rescued United late on, heading in from Bruno Fernandes’ corner to keep their unbeaten run alive.

Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday evening at Stamford Bridge, extending their impressive run of form.
