Late Drama and Injury Concern in Tottenham Stalemate
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has delivered a concerning update on striker Benjamin Sesko, who was forced off with a knee injury during the chaotic closing moments of his side's 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur. The match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was a rollercoaster, with stoppage-time goals from Richarlison and Matthijs De Ligt ultimately ensuring the points were shared.
Chaotic Finale Sees Sesko Denied and Injured
The drama escalated in the 84th minute when Mathys Tel's deflected effort found the net to pull Manchester United level. Just minutes later, Benjamin Sesko was put clean through on goal, only to be thwarted by a spectacular last-ditch tackle from Spurs defender Micky van de Ven. The challenge not only prevented a certain goal but also left the Slovenian international injured. Sesko was seen clutching his knee and had to be substituted, with United unable to replace him as all five changes had been used.
Manager Reactions: Concern for Sesko, Relief for Romero
Speaking to TNT Sports after the final whistle, a frustrated Amorim confirmed the worrying nature of the injury. "We have to see, we think he has a problem but let's see," Amorim stated. "I am more concerned with an injury, because it's in the knee, we don't know... Because is the knee we never know." When questioned about Sesko's recent form in front of goal, the United boss dismissed it as a secondary issue, prioritising the player's fitness.
In a more positive update from the Spurs camp, manager Thomas Frank moved to allay fears over his own captain, Cristian Romero, who was also substituted late in the game. Frank clarified, "He was just done physically. He just came back from that injury. He's fine." The result leaves both teams reflecting on a match filled with high drama and significant injury concerns for the Red Devils.
