    England manager Gareth Southgate is in the directors' box. He was having a laugh about something just before Tottenham's equaliser although I don't think it was related.

    Southgate names his squad next week for friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast.

    Man Utd 2-1 Tottenham

    Son Heung-min sends the corner in and Manchester United can't clear their lines but at the same time Tottenham's players can't get their shot off and eventually the ball is scrambled away.

    Man Utd 2-1 Tottenham

    Harry Kane shoots from distance and it takes a deflection to give Tottenham a corner.

    The visitors have the chance to get back level again before half time.

    What a great game this has been so far.

    Oliver Camp: I don't know if he's the best penalty taker in PL history but you have to love the way Kane approaches his kicks. Just run up and smash it right into the corner. No messing about.

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    It is that man again!

    Excellent response by the hosts as Jadon Sancho breaks clear of the defence before squaring to Cristiano Ronaldo to slot in from close range.

    It is very tight and VAR checks if Sancho is offside but he's deemed to be just on and Manchester United lead again.

    Harry Kane pen

    And Harry Kane scores!

    David de Gea goes the right way but there's so much power behind Kane's spot kick he's never keeping it out.

    All square!

    In response to Paul at 17:48, while Ronaldo's scoring goals, he has badly affected the team's dynamic and overall effectiveness. Worse, he seems to cast a shadow over what were, until he signed, some very promising young players. That was a very good goal, though.

    Aleksandar: I am glad that Manchester United lead 1-0 but I’ll wait to see how the match unfolds. Last time I got excited we were ahead when Spurs were at Old Trafford they demolished us 6-1.

    Strike to one side, can we appreciate that flick by Fred?

    Mark

    I honestly can't believe there's people that think Ronaldo is the problem at Utd. Where would we be without him this year? It's the owners, dodgy managers and poor transfer decisions.

    There is huge debate about Cristiano Ronaldo's value to Manchester United but until anyone else in Ralf Rangnick's team can do that, I don't see the value of dropping him.

    Fred's lay-off helped but the first two touches, allowed the brilliant third.
