Tottenham came from two goals behind on Thursday night to draw 2-2 with Manchester United and keep their Champions League hopes alive for at least one more week.

Although top four seems almost out of reach for Tottenham now, second half goals from Heung Min-Son and Pedro Porro provided Spurs with a glimmer of hope going into the final weeks of the season.

It was the visitors who opened the scoring in London, as Jadon Sancho calmly finished past Fraser Forster in goal after just 7 minutes to give United the lead.

David De Gea made a big save from an Ivan Perisic strike shortly after the first goal and Marcus Rashford quickly broke down the other end of the field to double United’s advantage before the break.

If things weren’t already looking bad enough for Spurs this season, they took a 2-0 deficit down the tunnel with them and a stern talking to from Ryan Mason is sure to have followed.

Spurs came out firing in the second half however and they managed to get a goal back after 56 minutes, when Pedro Porro picked up a loose ball in the box and smashed home to bring the hosts back into the match.

After missing a guilt-edged chance just minutes before, Son was found in acres of space at the back post late in the gamely a pinpoint Harry Kane pass and the South Korean finished into an open net to level the scores.

Tottenham seem down and out in terms of the top four race this season however the bookies have Ryan Mason’s side priced at 20/1 to get Champions League football next season.
