Tottenham vs. Manchester United: Heung-min Son earns Spurs a comeback draw as fans turn on Daniel Levy

Two goals down at the break, Spurs fought back to claim a point

LONDON -- Given the circumstances that Tottenham find themselves in, a point gained at home to Manchester United hardly seems a salve. Chairman Daniel Levy would appear to be persona non grata at the stadium that was supposed to be his defining contribution to Spurs' history. European football of any kind is in the balance, as is the future of Harry Kane. Who would even manage him if he stayed is up in the air, as is what sort of structure any new head coach would fit into.

And yet the team that seemed to write off their season in the first 20 minutes at Newcastle at least showed a response to the adversity they had placed themselves in. Two goals down to Manchester United at the break, Spurs delivered something approximating what their supporters have been crying out for all season, cut and thrust down the flanks, energy on the break and goals, enough to earn themselves a 2-2 draw that takes them back into fifth.

Life was breathed back into a stadium that had seemed on the verge of mutiny at an interval bafflingly soundtracked by the Stones Roses' "Fools Gold." One of Manchester's most beloved musical exports might have been signing for Levy with the line, "I'm standing alone, I'm watching you all, I'm seeing you sinking." Tottenham were subsiding. Fans were in no doubt who was to blame.
