Solanke scorpion kick completes Spurs comeback
Dominic Solanke scored a stunning equaliser as he inspired Tottenham to come back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Premier League title challenger Manchester City.
Having halved the deficit for his team eight minutes after the restart, Solanke completed his fourth top-flight brace in style as he brilliantly flicked home in the 70th minute.
A bolt from the blue by Rayan Cherki saw the contest burst into life in the 11th minute, with the City playmaker shifting the ball onto his right foot before picking out the bottom-left corner.
Having teed up the opening goal, Erling Haaland was then sent in behind by a raking pass, but the Norwegian could only lift the ball over Guglielmo Vicario's crossbar.
A dazzling run from Cherki ended with a fine save from Vicario, but the Spurs goalkeeper could not do anything to stop Antonie Semenyo from doubling City's lead with a composed finish a minute before half-time.
However, despite losing captain Cristian Romero at the break, Thomas Frank's side halved the deficit when Solanke struck despite the last-ditch efforts of Marc Guehi.
Spurs' second-half improvement was rewarded in remarkable fashion, with Solanke meeting Conor Gallagher's delivery and sending a scorpion kick looping over Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons both had chances to win it for Spurs in the closing stages, but were denied by superb stops from City's goalkeeper.
