Manchester United came from a goal down to earn a 1-1 draw at Tottenham thanks to a late Bruno Fernandes penalty.
Most of the post-match headlines will centre around Roy Keane's amazing half time outburst on television, but on the pitch it was an action-packed game with plenty of footballing talking points.
Steven Bergwijn gave Spurs the lead with a goal that irked Keane so much but also contained a large amount of skill and pace from the Spurs man.
Paul Pogba's second half arrival off the bench changed the game, and he won the penalty that the excellent Fernandes dispatched with nine minutes left to play to eventually give Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a point against Jose Mourinho.
The visitors almost pinched it when Fernandes was awarded a penalty by referee Jon Moss, but VAR rightly overruled that decision as Eric Dier clearly did not foul him.
Dier was at fault for the Pogba penalty, as he was beaten too easily before clumsily bringing him down - but it was the Maguire and De Gea errors that will grab the headlines after Kean'e outburst.
United stay in fifth place and now sit two points behind Chelsea in fourth, while Spurs stay in eigth and four points behind the Red Devils so still in with a shout of the top four but still having plenty of traffic to get through.
