Christian Eriksen explains what went wrong for Manchester United in draw with Tottenham

Christian Eriksen believes Manchester United took their foot off the gas and lost control of the match as they failed to see off Tottenham on Thursday.

United looked like they were set to secure their spot in the top-four with a nine-point gap as they dominated the opening 45 minutes in north London and went in at the break with a two-goal lead. Jadon Sancho scored within seven minutes to give Erik ten Hag's side an early advantage and Marcus Rashford doubled it with a clinical finish on the counter.

However, United lost all grip of the game after the break and allowed Spurs a foothold in the match as Pedro Porro dragged a goal back with a fine out-side-of-the-boot finish. Bruno Fernandes hit the crossbar moments after but Ryan Mason's Spurs had been revitalised.
