Manchester United coach Mourinho looked serious on the sidelines. He kept shouting loudly and directing the players' defensive positions and tactical movements. His eyes revealed firmness and confidence, as if telling the players that as long as they hold on for half an hour, victory will belong to them.

Son Heung-min fell to the ground helplessly, watching the ball being controlled by Manchester United's player Ruben Dias.
In another attack, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen sent a wonderful through ball, and striker Harry Kane faced Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea directly after receiving the ball. But Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea reacted quickly, and he decisively attacked and held the ball firmly in his arms. Harry Kane waved his hands in frustration and turned and ran back to his own half.
Although Tottenham Hotspur attacked many times, they never achieved results. Their shots were either blocked by Manchester United defenders or saved by goalkeeper David De Gea. As time passed, Tottenham Hotspur players began to become anxious. Their movements became a little impatient, and their passes were no longer as accurate as before.
And Manchester United players became more and more confident. They encouraged and supported each other, and used tenacious defense to resist Tottenham's bombardment again and again. They knew that as long as they held on to the end, victory would belong to them.
The fans in the audience were also attracted by the fierce game. Manchester United fans kept cheering for the team's defense, and their singing and cheering echoed over the Emirates Stadium. Tottenham Hotspur fans were anxious to cheer for the team, hoping that they could score as soon as possible.
Half an hour passed slowly in a tense atmosphere. Although Tottenham Hotspur tried their best, they could not break Manchester United's goal. Manchester United successfully defended its two-goal lead with its solid defense.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half, Manchester United's players breathed a sigh of relief. They hugged each other and celebrated their excellent performance in the first half. The Tottenham Hotspur players walked back to the locker room dejectedly, knowing that the second half would be even more difficult.
During the halftime break, the head coaches of both sides were nervously arranging the tactics for the second half. Manchester United head coach Mourinho emphasized the need to continue to maintain the intensity of defense while looking for opportunities to counterattack. Mauricio Pochettino, the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, encouraged the players not to give up and to attack with all their strength in the second half to equalize the score.

After 50 minutes of the game, Tottenham Hotspur launched a fierce attack. Midfielder Christian Eriksen quickly passed the ball, looking for loopholes in Manchester United's defense. Winger Son Heung-min and center forward Harry Kane shuttled through Manchester United's half like arrows from a string, constantly pulling the opponent's defense. Finally, the opportunity came.

The ball went in! 2:1! The Emirates Stadium was boiling instantly, and the fans of Tottenham Hotspur cheered and saw the dawn of hope.
The morale of the Tottenham Hotspur team, who scored a goal, was boosted, and they continued to attack Manchester United's goal.
Manchester United players seemed a little flustered. The two central defenders, Raphael Varane and Ruben Dias, kept calling on Theo Fernandez and Diogo Dalot on the wing to shrink the entire defensive lineup to avoid losing the ball.
The midfielders Marco Verratti, Bruno Fernandez and Rodrigo Hernandez, as well as the forwards Cody Gakpo, Edinson Cavani and Erling Haaland, had already pressed forward to Tottenham Hotspur's hinterland. For a time, the entire offensive and defensive lines were completely disconnected.
The head coach Mourinho on the sidelines also saw the clues of the problem. He first shouted to the defensive midfielder Rodrigo Hernandez, "Hey! Rodrigo, don't press too far forward, pay attention to the protection of the back line!" Then he gestured to the central defender Raphael Varane, asking him to command the back line to press forward appropriately. His voice was as loud as a bell, penetrating the noise of the entire stadium. Mourinho's shout was full of power and majesty, as if there was a magical power that could make the players slowly regain their reason in panic.
But despite this, Manchester United's short-term disconnection in the rhythm of offense and defense still caused the entire defense line to loosen under the impact of Tottenham Hotspur.
Time came to the 65th In the 15th minute, Tottenham Hotspur launched another attack. Midfielder Midley Jermain Ali made a wonderful long pass to the forward Son Heung-min. After receiving the ball, Son Heung-min cleverly dribbled past Manchester United center back Ruben Dias and cut into the penalty area. Another Manchester United center back Raphael Varane hurried forward to block, but Son Heung-min was too fast and he completed a shot in a very small space. The ball flew towards the goal like lightning, and although Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea made a save, he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net. 2:2! Tottenham Hotspur successfully equalized the score. The entire Emirates Stadium fell into madness, and the Tottenham Hotspur players hugged each other tightly to celebrate this hard-earned victory. Easy goal. They knew that the game had only just begun.
After being tied, Manchester United tried to regain control of the tempo of the game. They stepped up their attack and tried to take the lead again. However, Tottenham's defense was very tenacious, and they resolved Manchester United's attack again and again.
The situation on the field became more and more tense, and the emotions of Manchester United players gradually got out of control. Mourinho's deep eyes were closely staring at every move on the field, and his expression was solemn and focused. When he saw the players getting impatient after a fierce fight, he could no longer sit still. He strode to the sidelines, waving his hands vigorously and shouting the players' names.
"Hey! Marco, calm down! Stay focused! "His voice was as loud as a bell, penetrating the noise of the entire stadium. Mourinho's shout was full of power and majesty, as if there was a magical power that could make the players regain their sanity instantly. His firm eyes seemed to tell the players that no matter how difficult the situation on the field was, they must remain calm and believe in their own strength and tactical arrangements.
He kept repeating those words, and his voice revealed his trust and expectations for the players. "Calm down! We have a plan, follow our rhythm! "Mourinho's shout echoed in the air. The players heard the head coach's voice, adjusted their status and re-entered the game.
In the 78th minute of the game, Manchester United, who had been besieging Tottenham Hotspur, showed a brief fatigue. Marco Verratti, the core of the midfield, consciously slowed down the attack rhythm and made pass adjustments with the other two midfielders Bruno Fernandes and Rodrigo Hernandez near the center circle. But it was this adjustment that almost pushed Manchester United into the abyss.
Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder Moussa Sissoko successfully intercepted Manchester United midfielder Rodrigo Hernandez near the center circle and quickly launched a counterattack. The cooperation between Midley Jermain Ali, Christian Eriksen, Harry Winks and other players was smooth and dazzling. The ball was quickly passed to Tottenham's striker.At Harry Kane's feet, he faced the hurried rush of Manchester United defender Ruben Dias, calmly dribbled past him, and then shot a powerful shot. The ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal, and Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea was powerless. 3:2! Tottenham Hotspur has completed the reversal.
Deafening cheers broke out at the Emirates Stadium, and the fans of Tottenham Hotspur were in crazy joy. They couldn't believe their eyes. The team scored three goals in a row and achieved the reversal under the unfavorable conditions of 0:2 behind.
At this time, Manchester United was in a desperate situation. In the 80th minute, head coach Mourinho made three consecutive substitutions. First, Ashraf Hakimi, who had returned from injury, replaced Diogo Dalot, then replaced Bruno Fernandes with Dani Olmo, and finally replaced Theo Fernandes, who was in a slump in this game, with Nico Williams.

They stared closely at these tall forwards, fearing that they would grab the landing point and complete the fatal blow. However, they ignored Nico Williams at the back point.
Nico Williams cleverly got rid of the defender and jumped high when there was no one defending at the back point. His eyes were full of desire for victory, and he headed the ball hard into the goal. The ball flew through the fingers of Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris like a cannonball and flew into the goal.
The ball went in! Manchester United equalized the score at the last moment. The Emirates Stadium was boiling in an instant, and Manchester United fans cheered wildly. They couldn't believe their eyes. This goal was like a miracle, giving Manchester United hope again.
