Manchester United have a five point lead at the top of the Premier League after a 1-1 draw away to Tottenham.

Robin Van Persie's first half goal looked to have given United all three points when he headed in his 22nd strike of the season on 25 minutes.

Tottenham pressed and pressed after the break and could have got an equaliser when Clint Demspey forced a superb reaction save from David De Gea.

But the American would not be denied as he scored an injury time goal for equaliser for Spurs. David De Gea could only punch away a Benoit Assou Ekotto cross. Aaron Lennon played it back in and Dempsey was in the right place to poke home.

The result keep Tottenham fourth, four points above fifth placed Everton and seven above Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
