Tottenham vs Manchester City live: Dominic Solanke scorpion kick delivers Arsenal huge Premier League title favour

“The Spurs dressing room at half-time must have been a dark and difficult place for everyone,” Jamie Redknapp told Sky Sports. “Romero doesn’t come out for the second half – he’s your captain.

“The players were dispondent, there was no energy in the stadium, but somehow they managed to turn it around. It was incredible.

“Spurs have been battered by everybody. They showed tremendous character today and we don’t say that very often. The second half was completely different.

“Is it something to build on? I have no idea, but Tottenham fans should just enjoy this what it is.”

Dominic Solanke has allayed fears he has suffered a serious injury after limping off late into the draw with Manchester City.

“I’ll be good,” he said. “I rolled my ankle but I’ll be fine.”

Manchester City have lost ground in the title race once again after Dominic Solanke spearheaded an improbable Tottenham comeback in the Premier League.

Rayan Cherki fired the visitors in front following a tepid start in north London, with Radu Dragusin inviting the in-form midfielder to shoot by not closing him down after Yves Bissouma was robbed of possession.

With the atmosphere eerily quiet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs failed to kick into gear for the rest of the first half and saw their deficit doubled through Antoine Semenyo, a goal that again stemmed from sloppy play.

Spurs were once again booed off the pitch by their own fans at half-time with Thomas Frank’s side looking on course for a fourth home defeat in six games across all competitions, but a Marc Guehi own goal – forced by Solanke – gave the hosts a way back into the game.

Solanke then pulled out an sublime scorpion kick to level things for Spurs, a result they held onto for the remainder of the contest to deliver a huge favour to north London rivals Arsenal, who remain six points clear at the Premier League pinnacle.

What was unforeseeable at the break becomes reality. Tottenham earn an improbable point against Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola’s side stumbling once again in the title race.

90+9 mins: City have a free-kick deep in their own half. They hoof it forward hoping for a miracle but it runs out for a goal kick.

They won’t want to hear it, but Spurs are about to do Arsenal a massive favour.

90+8 mins: Odobert is bundled over by Gonzalez, who enters the book.

Vicario is going to lump this forward.

90 seconds remaining for one final twist.

90+7 mins: O’Reilly’s deflected delivery loops into the arms of Vicario.

It’s back to square one for City, who really need this winner.

90+6 mins: Spurs have had most of the ball in stoppage time so far but City come forward with Semenyo, who runs into Sarr and wins a throw.

The eventual delivery is headed back by Haaland to nobody.

90+2 mins: Rodri, on a yellow card, is very lucky not to have seen a second as he catches Gallagher very late, before pushing Odobert in the back moments later.

Guardiola has smell the danger and brought the Spaniard off in place of Marmoush.
