"This repeat of the Europa League final in May looked set to go the way of Ruben Amorim's improving team after Bryan Mbeumo haunted old Brentford boss Thomas Frank with a goal in the 32nd minute. It sparked boos at half-time from a disgruntled Spurs fanbase which has seen only three home wins in the Premier League in 2025, but the hosts' turned it around with substitute Mathys Tel able to produce an 84th-minute equaliser."
"When Richarlison deflected in a shot by the excellent Wilson Odobert in the first minute of stoppage time, Frank looked set to get the statement home win in the league his five-month tenure had lacked. Yet wild home celebrations were followed by more late drama as De Ligt powered home a header from a corner in the sixth minute of added time to earn United a 2-2 draw and extended their unbeaten run under Amorim to five matches."

Matthijs de Ligt powered a corner header in the sixth minute of added time to salvage a 2-2 draw, extending Manchester United's unbeaten run under Ruben Amorim to five matches. Both teams fielded seven starters from the Bilbao night.
