Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United settled at Tottenham stadium on Friday night for a 1-1 draw in their Premier League tie.
United had been hoping for a double after winning the reverse fixture in December so they could boost their chances of a top four finish.
Spurs, for their part, wanted victory after a six-game run without win.
It was the home team that started the brighter in the tie event on Friday though it was in an empty stadium.
Spurs had their nose in front of them after a ding dong affair, courtesy of a fine strike by their Netherlands striker.
The brilliant solo effort by Bergwijn in the 27th minute gave Mourinho’s men the lead after a blunder by the United Defenders and De Gea.
Spurs threatened to add to their tally but were denied by United’s Spainard goalkeeper who made amends for his earlier gaffe.
United also pressed hard for an equaliser but Hugo Lloris was in fine form denying mostly Marcus Rashford the chance of scoring for United.
At the end, United dug deep and it was their returning talisman Paul Pogba who won a penalty kick which Bruno Fernandes converted.
Desperate to get all three points and with the luxury of five replacements, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer threw in everything he had including Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo but he couldn’t save the day as the match ended 1–1.
