The Story in 60 Seconds

Manchester United drew 1-1 against 10-man Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford, squandering another lead to extend their poorest start to a league season in 40 years. Bryan Mbeumo gave Michael Carrick's side the advantage, but Dominic Solanke scored a stoppage-time equalizer for Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham despite Rodrigo Bentancur receiving a red card for headbutting Luke Shaw.

The Independent's Richard Jolly highlights United's recurring failure to hold onto leads, noting the club remains the only Premier League side without a clean sheet this season. While United have secured only one league victory so far, winless Tottenham showed resilience following Solanke's late header from a Sandro Tonali cross.
