LONDON - Clint Dempsey's equaliser in the final minute of stoppage-time denied Premier League Manchester United a win as Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to force a 1-1 draw at a snowy White Hart Lane in a late match yesterday.
The result meant United's advantage at the top of the table over second-placed Manchester City was reduced to five points. It looked as if Robin van Persie's 25th minute header was going to secure all three points for United in a fixture that survived a pre-match pitch inspection.
But in the final minute of stoppage time Dempsey rescued a point for the fourth-placed hosts. Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 in an early fixture.
