Man United’s Spurs Draw Extends Worst Start Since 1986

Manchester United’s troubled opening to the season deepened with a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur, despite finishing the match a goal ahead on the scoreboard for much of the contest and holding a numerical advantage after 90 minutes.

The result leaves United with their poorest start to a campaign since 1986. A match that appeared to offer the chance for a much-needed victory instead ended with another setback, as Spurs found a way to secure a point against a United side unable to turn its late edge into three points.

For Manchester United, the draw adds to the pressure surrounding an early-season record that has fallen well below the club’s usual standards. Tottenham, meanwhile, departed with a valuable result after resisting a situation in which United had both a lead and an extra player.
