Tottenham Hotspur produced a stunning second-half comeback to hold **Manchester City to a dramatic 2–2 draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, denting City’s Premier League title charge.
City looked in complete control after racing into a two-goal lead, but Spurs showed resilience, heart, and attacking brilliance — led by an unforgettable performance from Dominic Solanke, who scored twice, including a sensational scorpion kick.
Match Summary: City Start Fast
Manchester City began the match with authority and precision.
In the 11th minute, Rayan Cherki opened the scoring with a composed finish after cutting inside from the edge of the box.
City doubled their lead just before half-time when Antoine Semenyo slotted home in the 44th minute, capitalising on a defensive lapse to make it 2–0.
At that point, it looked like a routine night for the champions.
Second Half: Solanke Sparks the Comeback

The stadium erupted again in the 70th minute, as Solanke produced a moment of magic — a spectacular scorpion kick from close range that left fans and pundits in disbelief.
2–2. Game on.
