Tottenham caretaker boss Ryan Mason declared himself 'inspiring' after their 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

United were 2-0 ahead at halftime through Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford before Spurs turned things around via goals from Pedro Porro and Heung-min Son.

Mason later said: "[I am] Pleased with the reaction and I thought in the second half we were outstanding and the character we showed after last Sunday and going two goals down [tonight]. I hope the fans can see that we were a team today and we ran for each other. In the second half we could have scored a lot more.

"They caused us problems and we caused them a lot of problems to. Sometimes moments change games. I think after they went one goals ahead some doubts may have been in the players' minds. We played a lot of the game in their end of the pitch so that's pleasing.

"Those players in there, I know I've got man who when they pull together they're a very strong team. that's my job to inspire them and make sure we act as a team.

"I know what it's like when we get the fans with us. That goes without saying. I was pleased with the energy in the stadium as I felt they were with us and that's very pleasing."

He added: "Most importantly being together and being a team. In football you can win lose or draw but the most important is that we react together. I have a team that's willing to fight."
