Race for top four heating up
As it stands, there are probably five teams with an outside chance of making it into the top four this season.
Heading into the business end of the season, anything can happen, as we saw in the second half of the game tonight.
Man Utd entertain in-form Aston Villa at Old Trafford this weekend.
Meanwhile, Tottenham travel to Anfield on Sunday to face Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool who find themselves in a purple patch also.
Changes nullify Man Utd threat
Erik ten Hag made some questionable changes in the second half, one in particular, bringing off Christian Eriksen.
When the Dane left the field, the supply to the forward areas seem to go with him.
He makes the game of football look easy, doing the simple things well, making himself an integral part of this Man Utd team.
Mason pleased with players' reaction
When interviewed after the game, Ryan Mason said how he is pleased that he has a team who is willing to fight.
He felt the fans were behind them all of the way and they showed they can come together as a team as they did in that second half.
They have shown their interim manager that he has a foundation to build on after their reaction to his words at the interval.
Harry inspires Tottenham fightback
While he may have not been amongst the goals this evening, Harry Kane's contribution to this second-half comeback could not be greater.
It was his ball that found Son for the equaliser and he was a thorn in the side of the Carabao Cup winners for the entire half.
He will be hoping his side can show more consistent form to fight for a place in the top four between now and the end of the season.
