Anthony Martial opened the scoring in the 21st minute of the International Champions Cup match.

During an explosive first half, chaos erupted on the pitch after Moussa Sissoko appeared to stamp on Daniel James.

The United new boy was knocked to the ground by the powerful Frenchman as he attempted to shield the ball by the corner flag.

But before he could get back to his feet, Sissoko appeared to dig his studs into the unsuspecting 21-year-old.

After the interval, Champions League hero Moura produced the goods for Spurs - again!

The Brazilian star's deflected strike glided past the helpless hands of Sergio Romero to make it 1-1.

But their joy was short-lived after rising star Gomes charged towards their penalty area.

After a swift 1-2 with Juan Mata, the youngster oozed confidence as he rolled the ball into the corner of the net from a tight angle.

But it was an afternoon to forget for Eric Bailly after he was carried off the pitch on a stretcher in the early stages of the second half.

After the match, Solskjaer said: "It's never nice when you get an injury. He's done his knee but we're not sure how bad it is.

"We need to get back to Manchester and do the scans, but let's hope for the best."
