Tottenham grab a draw but who got 1/10 - Ratings for Man Utd v Spurs - BBC
Description

Manchester United XI:

Senne Lammens: Made a major early error that could have had disastrous consequences but the Belgian recovered to make the save from Dominic Solanke. Mis-control shortly afterwards showed more signs of nerves and pass straight out of play summed up United's first half hour. Might have done better for equaliser. 5

Leny Yoro (off 59, Dalot): Given a start after making France debut and excellent tackle to deny Jan Paul van Hecke a clear sight at goal. Decent effort. 7

Harry Maguire: Usual solid presence at the heart of the home defence but no chance to threaten at the other end and fact he did try a shot from 30 yards suggested lack . 7

Lisandro Martinez: Partnership with Maguire a plus point for Man Utd but was totally outmuscled by Solanke for Spurs' equaliser. 6

Luke Shaw: One of the home side's more consistent performers and got forward to force a corner early in the second period and made a vital intervention at the other end. Lucky to avoid red card for his reactionary shove on Rodrigo Bentancur? 6

Kobbie Mainoo: Caught in possession on too many occasions, even if the passes he was receiving inside his own half were ill-advised. Tried to get on the ball in deep lying midfield role. Excellent block to deny Savio. 7

Youri Tielemans (off 59, Baleba): Lucky to get away with being robbed by Savio deep in the United half due to debatable free-kick but calm in heading the ball back to Lammens to relieve pressure on home goal. 6

Amad Diallo (off 59, Zirkzee): Took a long time to get into the game on his first appearance of the season but eventually had home side's first shot. 6

Bruno Fernandes: Shadow of the player who deservedly won all the player of the year awards last season. Didn't shoot when had the chance suggests confidence levels have dipped. 5

Matheus Cunha: Reaction to negativity from the stands shows he cares but, like many, yet to reach last term's levels. Provided the pass for Mbuemo's goal. 6

Bryan Mbeumo: Didn't have enough support to be effective in the lead striking role but led one counter and turned smartly to score United's goal. 8.

Subs:

Diogo Dalot (on 59, Yoro): Nearly set up Bruno Fernandes with cross from the right. 5

Carlos Baleba (on 59, Tielemans): Introduction injected life into home fans and made plenty of tackles. 5

Joshua Zirkzee (on 59, Amad): Quickly into action to force a corner and let Tottenham know he was there. 6

Ayden Heaven (on 90, Shaw). 5

Marcus Rashford (on 90, Cunha). 5

Subs not used: Karl Darlow, Mason Mount, Andrey Santos, Shea Lacey.

Tottenham XI:

Antonin Kinsky: Not much to do for half an hour. Eventually made comfortable save to deny Amad. Couldn't get to Mbeumo's shot. 6

Archie Gray: Decent effort but getting sucked into making a tackle he didn't need to on Cunha underlined his inexperience. 7

Jan Paul van Hecke: Probably expected to be under more pressure than he was. Header from Tottenham corner nearly caught Man Utd out. Didn't get tight enough to Mbeumo for United's goal. 6

Marcos Senesi (off 89, Mateus Fernandes): In control for most of the opening half and would have been unlucky to end up on losing side. 7

Destiny Udogie (off 74, Van de Ven): Had the better of his personal duel with Amad but eventually replaced as faded in second half. 6

Lucas Bergvall (off 65, Bentancur): Lot of energy in midfield and worked incredibly hard but end product was lacking. 6

Sandro Tonali: Given far too much room in the centre of the pitch, which allowed him to dominate. No surprise his cross led to Tottenham's equaliser. 7

Savio: Speed a huge threat to the home defence, one touch took him past Bruno Fernandes. Goalbound shot turned away by Mainoo. 8

Conor Gallagher (off 74, Maddison): Early booking for a foul on Harry Maguire but didn't dilute his combative nature and should have done better with a decent opening at the end of the first half. 6

Mohammed Kudus (off 65, Marmoush): Had his manager spinning round in anguish at failure to take first-half chance he drove wide. Struggling to be effective. Not a surprise when replaced. 6

Dominic Solanke: Named captain in a much-changed starting line-up. Wasted glorious chance to give visitors an early lead and fired over from a central position in second half. Eventually got his goal. 6

Subs:

Omar Marmoush (on 65, Kudus): Man City past didn't escape home fans attentions. 6

Rodrigo Bentancur (on 65, Bergvall): Idiotic reaction to Luke Shaw's shove and deserved to be sent off. 1 (for going on the pitch)

James Maddison (on 74, Gallagher): Always wants the ball. 6

Micky van de Ven (on 74, Udogie): Kept Tottenham solid despite having 10 men. 6

Matheus Fernandes (on 89, Senesi): 5

Subs not used: Martin Dubravka, Tosin Adarabioyo, Mathys Tel, Ben Davies.

Tottenham news: Tottenham fly to Marbella for team-bonding camp - BBC
Description

Tottenham will fly to Spain for a training camp and team-bonding trip following Saturday's Premier League game at Manchester United.

Roberto de Zerbi's side are bottom of the table following a winless start to the season, with two draws from five games.

With nine days between the game at Old Trafford and Monday's home game against newly-promoted Coventry, De Zerbi hopes spending time in Marbella, southern Spain can help kick-start their campaign.

Temperatures are predicted to reach 25 degrees in Marbella, while rain is forecast in Enfield, where Tottenham's training base is located.

Such trips are unusual this early into the season, and certainly so soon after the international break, with English clubs usually searching warmer weather in winter.

Tottenham spent more than £250m on new talent over the summer - adding 10 players to their squad.

The busy fixture schedule and extended international break has meant that the new-look squad, with Savio, Tosin Adarabioyo, Mykhailo Mudryk and Omar Marmoush joining in the last week of the transfer window, has not had much opportunity to gel.

'Fernandes is trying for the perfect goal'

Manchester United 0-0 Tottenham

Chris Waddle

Former Tottenham winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

It's a lot better from Man United, a bit of tempo. Bruno Fernandes should shoot earlier, he doesn't need to score the perfect goal.

He did everything right but didn't need to try beat an extra man.

DISALLOWED GOAL

Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham

United have the ball in the net but NO GOAL.

The ball has clearly gone well past the byeline before Matheus Cunha cuts the ball back. Everyone stops, before realising play hasn't stopped and in the confusion Youri Tielemans scores.

And then the referee says nah it had gone out.

'Man United have a lot of work to do'

HT: Manchester United 0-0 Tottenham

Chris Waddle

Former Tottenham winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

Tottenham have been the better team. Man United have lacked legs and energy, Michael Carrick needs to make changes.

But Man United have a lot of work to be done. There's no change of pace. It's very easy to play against so I can see why fans are frustrated.

'We lacked quality in the final third'

FT: Sunderland 0-2 Brighton

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris on today's defeat to Brighton: "A tight game, especially in the first half.

"Two well-organised teams, high press, counter-press, second balls. I think we created a few chances trying to exploit wide areas, balls in behind, but we lacked quality in the final third to seize our opportunities.

"Finally, in the second half, we made a mistake. We were aware of this strength. They were relentless because they scored.

"Then we had another game later because after the red card, we were in a situation totally different to beat the block with ten men. They were in their game plan at that moment and we lacked quality in the final third."

When asked about missing Brian Brobbey: "It helps when you've got a good player, strong, efficient in the box but I don't I don't think Wilson [Isidor] was weak at all. He tried, he worked, he ran in behind. So we have those situations without one, two or three players and we still have a good team."

'Everyone has to take responsibility'

FT: Chelsea 5-1 Bournemouth

Bournemouth

Bournemouth boss Marco Rose, speaking to BBC MOTD: "If you concede two times so early...it's too much against Chelsea. We didn't react in the right way. It was a really bad performance by us today. The last games we had some good performance but today we struggled.

"Three points after six games, we need a reaction. Everyone has to take the responsibility to do better. We knew it was going to be a demanding season. We have to stick together and face reality. The reality is we have three points after six games.

"Even after we scored I felt we maybe get back in the game but we were not clinical enough. It was a tough game but our performance was not good enough.

"We are still a good squad. We have good players. Some of them need to get into a rhythm [after injury]. It is important to suffer no more injuries. We need to win a game to get more confidence."

'Which corner are we celebrating in when you score?'

FT: Chelsea 5-1 Bournemouth

Chelsea

Chelsea midfielder Jordan Henderson, speaking to BBC MOTD: "It's a good day, my home debut. It's nice to be at Stamford Bridge and play. We started both halves really well. I felt the concentration and focus for the majority of the game was very good. You always want to start fast. But you need to be consistent throughout the game. I felt we were more solid."

On his goal straight from a free-kick: "I've been working on it in training for the last week or two. Morgs [Morgan Rogers] wasn't too happy but then said 'go on then'. Cole [Palmer] said 'which corner are we celebrating in when you score?'. I'm thankful to Cole and Morgs for letting me take it. I've been pretty consistent with it in training."

Tottenham: Xavi Simons enrols at Harvard University while out injured - BBC
Description

Tottenham midfielder Xavi Simons has enrolled on a course at prestigious American university Harvard while he continues his recovery from a long-term knee injury.

The 23-year-old Netherlands playmaker has been sidelined since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in April - an injury that forced him to miss the World Cup.

Simons has now joined, external Harvard's Crossover into Business programme, a course tailored for professional athletes to develop their commercial skills.

The online course pairs athletes with Harvard MBA students to mentor them through practical case studies and enterprise management.

"I'm going back to school," Simons wrote on LinkedIn.

"During my recovery, I've been trying to use my time in the best way possible. Football is still my main focus, but I also want to keep learning and improving away from the pitch."

Simons recently travelled to the United States to step up his physical rehabilitation while visiting Harvard's campus in Boston.

"Getting back on the pitch is still my number one priority," Simons added.

"At the same time, I want to use this period to keep learning and invest in myself beyond football. Looking forward to getting started."

'Udogie is transformative' - Spurs fan on changes for Man Utd game - BBC
Description

Tottenham supporter Kish Patel has outlined which Spurs players he would like to see start this weekend's massive game against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Boss Roberto de Zerbi is under pressure to pick up points, with the north London side sitting bottom of the Premier League during the international break.

Patel said: "The first thing I want to see is Omar Marmoush play in the number nine. I think Marmoush started the season pretty sharply when he first came in and he played a lot of number nine minutes initially and then against certain teams we moved him either to the left or off [Dominic] Solanke, and I understood the thinking there.

"He's a player who needs to play with space ahead of him. Against teams that are really going to pack their penalty area, I don't think Marmoush is that effective.

"However, Manchester United are going to come out. They're playing at home and they are going to leave spaces in behind. Also, I don't think they have the most athletic backline, so I do think Marmoush can get chances in this game.

"The second thing is that Matheus Fernandes has to play deeper. I think Spurs have been decent but they will be even better when their ball progression is maximised and enhanced from those central areas like De Zerbi wants. Fernandes is the only one who can carry out perfectly what De Zerbi wants to do in his approach play.

"The third thing I want to see is Destiny Udogie. He's transformative when he plays in this Spurs team.

"Udogie is someone that is a powerful runner, so hopefully he's all fit and ready to go because I think that's a no-brainer."
