Tottenham, who were two goals down, played more aggressively, pressing more aggressively than before, and once they conceded a goal, they immediately started pressing on Manchester United.

Tottenham's performance made Manchester United, whose mind had just relaxed because of the two-goal lead, extremely uncomfortable, frequently lost the ball, and the situation on the field was more passive than before.

In the 70th minute of the game, Tottenham's aggressive counter-attack paid off. After snatching the ball back, they quickly moved to the left.

Eriksen quickly caught up with the football, and Manchester United right-back Darmian, who had just replaced Flossesa, was not yet warm and could not defend Eriksen at all, so he easily crossed with his feet, and the unguarded Alli pushed home from close range to help Tottenham pull one back. It was also his eighth league goal of the season.

There was nothing Rashford could do about the goal he conceded, because he was still in front of the pitch at the time, and even if he wanted to rush back, it was completely too late.

Although he knows the general trend of this game, Rashford does not remember the specific goals conceded by Manchester United at those points in time and how to concede the balls, but he remembers that Manchester United collapsed and conceded three in just six minutes.

However, with Manchester United now scoring one, Rashford has decided to temporarily return to defence in the next few minutes to see if he can help the team and concede as few goals as possible.

Pulling one back with just two dozen minutes left in the game thrilled Tottenham fans at White Hart Lane, who saw hope of an equaliser or even a comeback for Manchester United.

These fans have a lot of understanding of football, they have long found that today's Manchester United, in fact, is not in good shape, the midweek European game consumed their huge physical strength, this game from the first half, Manchester United players have a feeling of more than enough and not enough.

Now, Tottenham have pulled one back, the morale of the players has soared, and the physical advantage has given fans hope of reversing Manchester United and washing away the shame in history.

They were desperately cheering on their home players and hoping they would continue to work hard to equalise in the shortest possible time.

………………

The morale of the Manchester United players who conceded the goal was greatly hit, their physical fitness was already close to the limit, and their morale was hit again, and their performance on the pitch became worse and worse.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Darmian fouled when he grabbed the ball at the back, and when he received a yellow card, he also gave Tottenham a free kick in front.

The free-kick was in much the same position as the one Marcus Rashford had taken in the first half, also on the left side of Tottenham.

However, Tottenham did not have a long-range free-kick ace like Marcus Rashford, and they opted to link up. Lamela stepped in front of the ball while other headers poured into the United penalty area to grab the spot.

Marcus Rashford, who was not walled up in front of the box or tangled with Tottenham players in the box, saw David De Gea at the front post and ran to the back post to see if he could help in defending the corner.

Marcus Rashford has vague memories of United conceding from this Tottenham free-kick.

De Gea was stunned for a moment when he saw Rashford running back, and motioned for Rashford to leave the back post and go up front to defend.

Because of Rashford's approach, it directly makes the tactics of creating offsides on the attacking side useless, and in the defense of this kind of long-distance free kicks, the tactics of creating offsides are very commonly used.

Marcus Rashford didn't want to leave, but David De Gea was very adamant and the goalkeeper's opinion was very important in free-kick and corner kicks, and Rashford eventually had to return to a defensive position.

………………

Once the two sides were set, Mike Dean blew the whistle and Lamela took two short steps to hoist the ball towards United's penalty spot.

And at the moment when Lamela started, Rashford also moved, and he didn't go to grab the landing point, because he was standing at the back and couldn't grab the landing point.

Marcus Rashford opted to go straight to the back post.

At the same time, Lamela's corner kick also flew quickly to the penalty spot in the Manchester United penalty area.

In the crowd, Tottenham centre-back Alderweireld leaped high and pressed past Rojo and Michael Carrick in front of him to get the ball on the head.

The ball was grubbed off by Alderweireld before changing direction and heading straight for the back post of the United goal.

For this goal, De Gea, who was still standing at the front post, was out of reach, he just subconsciously made a move to the middle, and then gave up.

Faced with this must-score goal, he disarmed.

In this moment of lightning, De Gea couldn't help but think that Rashford had stood on the edge of the back post before the penalty, but he had driven him away. If he is still there at this time, won't he have a chance to break the siege?

With that in mind, De Gea couldn't help but look at the back post, hoping that his own player would be there and reach out to clear the ball.

Then, he noticed that a swarthy foot appeared in his field of vision, in front of the trajectory of the ball......

………………

The moment Alderweireld hit the ball, it wasn't just goalkeeper David De Gea who was desperate, but many of Manchester United's players were just as desperate.

If they were equalised by Tottenham in just four minutes, then the next twenty minutes or so would have been a sad time for Manchester United, and perhaps they would have been reversed by Tottenham.

As for the Tottenham players and fans, they have already jumped up and are ready to celebrate the goal.

But at this moment, a figure in a red jersey appeared at the back post like lightning, and he raised his foot high to block the trajectory of the ball.

The ball then hit that foot and bounced back into the box.

The next moment, Blind kicked the ball off the touchline.

The Tottenham players didn't play the touchline, they all gathered around referee Mike Dean, who thought the ball had gone in before it was blocked.

Mike Dean didn't make the first judgment, but spoke to the linesman before pointing to the touchline and letting the Tottenham player play the touchline. The meaning is also obvious, this goal didn't score, you don't fight.

The subsequent slow motion also showed that only a small part of the ball crossed the goal line, and the goal did not go in.

United escaped and avoided allowing Tottenham to score twice in the space of four minutes to equalise.

United's defenders, including David De Gea, all ran towards Rashford to thank him for clearing the ball on the goal-line and avoiding a hole in their defence that led to an equaliser.

Rashford pressed his hands forward and said loudly: "Don't be happy, everyone, go back to your position to defend, Tottenham's attack is not over yet!" ”

Only then did everyone realise that Tottenham had also won a touchline ball up front, and the defensive alarm had indeed not been lifted.
