A stunning second-half comeback from Tottenham Hotspur saw them snatch a 2-2 draw with Manchester City, dealing a blow to Pep Guardiola's title hopes. Dominic Solanke was the hero, scoring a spectacular scorpion kick to level the match after City had raced into a two-goal lead.
City started brightly, with Rayan Cherki opening the scoring after just 11 minutes. The winger found space on the right and fired a low shot past Guglielmo Vicario. Antoine Semenyo doubled the lead just before half-time, turning in Bernardo Silva's pass to become the first player to score against Tottenham for two different clubs in the same Premier League season.
Tottenham emerged a different side after the break. Solanke pulled one back in the 53rd minute, latching onto a Xavi Simons pass and forcing the ball home after a scramble. With 20 minutes remaining, he produced a moment of magic, flicking Conor Gallagher's cross behind him with a scorpion kick that looped over Gianluigi Donnarumma to make it 2-2.
City pushed for a winner but could not find a way through a resolute Tottenham defence. The result, combined with Aston Villa's defeat, leaves Arsenal six points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Thomas Frank will be delighted with his side's character, especially after captain Cristian Romero was withdrawn at half-time with no apparent injury. Solanke's double took his tally to a vital contribution in Frank's system, proving his worth after a quiet start to his Spurs career.
