Late Drama: Tottenham stuns Sheffield United with historic comeback as Manchester United suffers third defeat

Posted : 17 September 2023
Tottenham pulled off a historic comeback against Sheffield United, overturning a 1-0 deficit in the 98th minute to win the match.

This remarkable turnaround set a new Premier League record for the latest comeback, surpassing a previous record held by Tottenham themselves.

It was their fourth consecutive victory in the league, placing them in second position with 13 points from five matches.

The comeback was orchestrated by substitutions in the 80th minute, with Manor Solomon and Son Heung-min coming off for Richarlison and Ivan Perisic. In extra time that lasted for 12 minutes, Richarlison and Perisic played pivotal roles in securing the victory.

In the 98th minute, Perisic assisted Richarlison, who scored, and three minutes later, Dejan Kulusevski received a pass from Richarlison and netted the winning goal, making it 1-2.

For Richarlison, this victory was particularly meaningful as he had openly admitted to needing psychological help earlier in the week. He had struggled to find his form since joining Tottenham from Everton, with only four goals in 40 games. His performance and the team's comeback earned praise from fans and pundits alike.

Tottenham's manager, Ange Postecoglou, has an impressive record at home, with 42 wins and 142 goals in his last 50 home league games. He hasn't lost a home game in over 1,000 days, showcasing his team's resilience and character.

In contrast, Manchester United suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to Brighton, marking their third loss in the first five games of the Premier League season. Manager Erik ten Hag expressed optimism about the new 4-4-2 diamond formation but acknowledged disappointment in the result. Christian Eriksen also commented on the need for improved focus and performance in upcoming matches.

Brighton's victory propelled them to fourth place in the league with 12 points, and they have now beaten Manchester United in their last four league encounters.
