Real Sociedad and Manchester United settled for a draw and i think that's just the best result instead of Manchester United to lose because now they can have a possibility of Real Sociedad when they come Old Trafford, and with the energy of Manchester United tonight i don't think they will lose to Sociedad in their returning leg.
Yes, I also think that in the current reality for United this is a great result, not a defeat is already good
Another favorite, for example, lost altogether. Tottenham never ceases to amaze. 1-0 is not a critical defeat and roughly speaking if you expect to get to the next round you should score at least one goal in any case (you can't wait for a penalty shootout), but to lose to an underdog + make one shot on target in the entire game...
I agree, draw is a good step for Manchester United while the second leg match will determine who will qualify and Manchester United has the advantage as the home team. As you said the situation was worse for Tottenham when they were defeated but yeah 1 goal is still the ideal difference and they can still catch up when playing at home. Basically I think the Premier League teams will qualify for the next stage/round or maybe we can see one of them can go to the final
