Bruno Fernandes fired home a late penalty to rescue a point for Manchester United in a lively 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in their English Premier League clash on Saturday (NZ time).
A woeful David de Gea error from Steven Bergwijn's first-half strike looked like it would end United's unbeaten streak on their Premier League return.
But United, with Paul Pogba sent on as a substitute just past the hour for his first appearance since December 26, stretched their unbeaten run in all competitions to 12.
Pogba added some spark to United's play and it was his dribble that forced a clumsy tackle by Eric Dier to concede the penalty that Fernandes fired past Hugo Lloris.
United thought they had another penalty awarded in stoppage time when Fernandes went over under challenge from Dier but the Video Assistant Referee reversed the decision to Tottenham's relief.
Tottenham remained in eighth spot on 42 points while United are fifth on 46, two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea
Earlier, Southampton hammered bottom side Norwich City 3-0 in their clash at Carrow Road.
Danny Ings, Stuart Armstrong and Nathan Redmond all netted as Saints kept up their strong record on the road, notching a seventh away win of the season, and left Norwich on 21 points, five adrift of 19th-placed Aston Villa, who have a game in hand.
Ings struck the bar in the first half but made no mistake with a curling effort inside the penalty area in the 49th minute to open the scoring with his 16th league goal of the season.
Armstrong finished with an accurate shot in the 54th and Redmond put the seal on an impressive victory by the mid-table visitors with a fine effort in the 79th minute.
