Fans at Old Trafford were left in disbelief after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with the Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, Oct. 10.
Dominic Solanke scored the equalizer in the second minute of second half stoppage time. And he did it with 10 men.
Sandro Tonali sent a pass from the corner of the penalty box to the English striker, who was defended by Lisandro Martínez. Solanke tipped the ball with his head as he was falling down and it went in for the goal.
He let out a celebratory yell and Archie Gray and Omar Marmoush put their arms around his shoulders as he trotted toward the corner of the pitch. Tonali ran and embraced manager Roberto De Zerbi in a hug.
Red Devils manager Michael Carrick was shown speechless on the sideline as his players stood
on the pitch with their hands on their hips.

The goal came after Rodrigo Bentancur was given a red card in the 78th minute. Luke Shaw ran toward him and shoved him after he kicked a pass and the Tottenham midfielder fell to the pitch. Bentancur stood up and got in Shaw's face. He appeared to headbutt him and continued coming at him even as other players tried to separate the two. Bentancur was shown a red card and ejected from the match, leaving the Spurs with 10 players.
