Solskjaer 'disappointed' after Man Utd rescue Spurs point

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer felt they deserved more from their 1-1 draw at Tottenham on Friday night.

Paul Pogba earned a late penalty, converted by Bruno Fernandes, to cancel out Steven Bergwijn's first-half opener for Spurs.

Solskjaer remarked: “I'm disappointed, to be fair. I think the performance deserves more than one point. I can't remember them threatening us in the second half. Not too much in the first half either. They get a goal out of more or less nothing and they have a good chance after. David makes a good save from Son's header, but apart from that it was only a matter of time before we scored.

“We need to be more clinical, but then again if you look back to last season when we played Tottenham and won 1-0, you came off delighted because we got three points but the performance wasn't close to this one. This was a dominant performance and I think we showed in the second half that we can play against teams that defend deep and create chances."
