00:00It was Spurs last home league game that starkly laid bare the extent of their
00:05struggles. You think to a local rival entrenched in the bottom three to an
00:09ensuing cacophony of vocal discontent. The subsequent continental success has
00:15provided a distraction to the alarm bells rather than stop them ringing and
00:20the first league winner of a new year cannot come soon enough.
00:30Haaland striking it forward here for Antoine Semenyo, Haaland continuing his run.
00:34Semenyo going for goal, the handling not great. Vicario had enough time to be able to
00:39gather at the second attempt but a nervy start for the Spurs custodian.
00:43Talks pre-match about the variety in Manchester City's play now and how they can transition quickly.
00:52Session turned over very neatly there. Silva, Haaland, now Cherki.
00:571-0. Just strolled through and stroked it into the bottom left-hand corner.
01:12More discontent emanates around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs behind and it was so, so easy.
01:21Clinical finish from Rayan Cherki. Look how condensed the pitch is though. Look how squeezed up Manchester City are.
01:28There's no room for Pissouma. There's nowhere to play. And he's caught gifting the ball away.
01:34Romero returning possession to Manchester City as you would expect. It is the eighth time already
01:47this season. The Spurs have gone 1-0 down at home in a league game. Haaland hoping to make it two.
01:52And the Cario turned, watched and was mightily relieved.
02:00What a chance.
02:01It should be two. It's a terrific ball over the clock. It's an early run from Erling Haaland.
02:06In between the two centre-backs. He's just out-muscled them, outpaced them.
02:10The only thing missing is the finish. It's a ball from Roderick.
02:30Roderick, Silva, Semeno, inevitable.
02:40Antoine Semeno scores yet again for Manchester City. And for the second time in three weeks,
02:51he's put a nail into Spurs. It just goes from bad to worse.
03:01Thomas Frank, watching this performance, really must fear the worst.
03:06Well, I said that Pep Guardiola would be pretty perturbed that it was only one.
03:10It's two now. How easy is this again? Bernardo Silva, superb.
03:14Finding Semeno. He said it's not that long ago, since he scored a late winner
03:18against Tottenham for his former club, Bournemouth. He's a man in form.
03:21And he didn't expect any other result.
03:28Xavi Simont's free-kick hit the wall.
03:32We're asking for four this time. And the draft excluder is in position.
03:40Spurs with a shot on target, finally, right at the end of the first half.
03:54Match which is coming up on Wednesday night.
03:56It's a nice pass from Gray.
04:04The doggy. One back for Spurs. Might change the feel of the game here.
04:09O'Reilly. Not his best clearance, but the shot from Connor Gallagher.
04:13Nowhere near being his first Spurs goal.
04:15I just wonder whether he had time, actually, to have a touch.
04:18The ball bouncing in front of him. It's a difficult finish, isn't it?
04:21Comes at him quickly.
04:23He's not under immense pressure.
04:25I just wonder whether he could potentially have had a little touch first.
04:28It's an invidious situation that Frank finds himself in with a centre-half partnership of
04:35Joao Polina, who's in midfield, and Radha Dragashin, who hasn't started a game all season because of injury.
04:43Here's Gray coming forward.
04:47He's not with a touch to that.
04:48Rodri Simont submerging with it. Setting up a doggy. Good save.
04:52Outstanding goalkeeping from Donnarumma, who's had precious little to do today.
04:58But when caught into action, he's produced a wonderful stop.
05:02Oh, he takes the congratulations of his teammates, and rightly so.
05:06Hits this sweetly.
05:08Testing a doggy.
05:10But Donnarumma's equal to it.
05:13Stays big. Gets a good hand to it.
05:17Excellent goalkeeping.
05:22The run from Solanke here.
05:27Still he goes. And it is in. One back for Spurs.
05:33The nearest hint of a lifeline.
05:42Dominic Solanke takes the plaudits.
05:46And Spurs are back in the game.
05:48Well, I think this might even be a Marc Gaye own goal.
05:54I'm not sure whether he thinks he was fouled in the build-up.
05:57Manchester City want an offside.
06:00I think he might be okay, because I think Norrie looks like he's leaning and keeping him on.
06:10You can see it again.
06:11He does really well, Solanke.
06:14He uses his body, cuts inside.
06:18Well, the VAR, Jared Gillett, has given his decision to the referee.
06:24The check is complete.
06:30Cherky firing it in.
06:31Oh, well, Gaye who's adept at attacking that kind of situation.
06:36Nice balance when the ball got to him.
06:37That's the chance. He's actually falling, isn't he?
06:42In making the attempt.
06:49It's not getting the better of O'Reilly.
06:50Gallagher, Colin Mouane.
06:53And Gaye's defended it well.
06:56What a rumour appreciating that.
06:57Excellent. Defending.
07:06That's ten minutes. Spurs' best ten minutes of the game.
07:10And Haaland getting it forward here.
07:12Linking up again with Antoine Semenya.
07:18Leaving it across strongly.
07:21And playing the ball into Semenya, out for a goal kick.
07:24It's been a good link, hasn't it, Haaland and Semenya?
07:26Semenya drifting out to this left-hand channel.
07:32Had to time that one right, Palinja, and did.
07:35Here, it has now been credited to Dominic Solanke,
07:39the goal that has got Spurs back into the game.
07:41The goal accreditation panel has to judge the goal to be a Solanke goal.
07:45It says.
07:45Gallagher.
07:47Solanke.
07:48He's in the right place at the right time again.
07:51And Spurs...
07:52unbelievably have got themselves back on level terms.
07:59A torrid opening 45 minutes.
08:02But they're led to the last 20, believing that they can win.
08:12A massive blow for Manchester City's aspirations.
08:15They blow a two-goal lead at ailing Tottenham.
08:19It's a scoreline that never looked likely at half-time.
08:22The tension, the frustration amongst the Tottenham Hotspur crowd has lifted.
08:30What a ball in from Conor Gallagher.
08:32He gets there ahead of Rodri.
08:34He's improvised the finish somewhat brilliantly.
08:39It's the back above Palace, up to 14th in the live table.
08:43And the gap above for West Ham goes from eight points up to nine.
08:52Here's a doggy.
08:54Simons deflected and another stunning save.
08:58Donnarumma has kept Manchester City in this.
09:02Well, it's that man Simons again.
09:04He said he's been terrific.
09:05It takes a deflection off Bernardo Silva,
09:08which just enhances the quality of the save.
09:12Because he had to stretch even further.
09:1520 minutes they suffered.
09:17O'Reilly.
09:22In from Gonzalez.
09:23Down from Haaland.
09:24And only just wide from Reinders.
09:29He's got an eye for goal.
09:30Tijani Reinders.
09:33Look at how well he arrives.
09:34That's an excellent header from Erling Haaland into his path.
09:37But he makes that late run into the box untracked.
09:39Some comeback that inspired by Dominic Solanke's second half race.
09:54It was a performance at half time that seemed as though it could spell the end of the road on the side of the lane.
09:59But some frank words inspired a fight back that might see a corner turn for Spurs.
10:05And prompt a decisive chapter in the title race.
10:09It's finished here.
10:10Spurs 2.
10:11Manchester City 2.
10:12And while World Warfare in Germany.
10:13Time to finish let's check this out.
