In the central match of the 24th round of the English Premier League, Tottenham hosted Manchester City at home, and we witnessed a dramatic scenario. In the match, both teams responded in attack, but the most controversial event was a brace by Dominique Solanke. In particular, the English striker's second goal, scored in a scorpion's style, turned the fans' heads.
The guests actively started the debate. Ryan Sherki opened the scoring for City in the 11th minute, providing City with the first advantage. At the end of the first half, Semenyo also took advantage of his opportunity and doubled the lead in the 44th minute. At that moment, many seemed to say "everything is over," but Tottenham returned in a completely different mood in the second half.
After the break, the pressure from the hosts on the field increased. In the 53rd minute, Solanke scored a goal, reviving the intrigue. Then, in the 70th minute, he stepped onto the stage again - this time with a skillful scorpion-like shot, he landed the ball in the net and deprived City of victory. In short, "Tottenham" emerged from a two-goal deficit - this doesn't happen every day.
Uzbekistan national team defender Abdukodir Khusanov played the full 90 minutes for Manchester City. He fought quite hard during the match and received a yellow card in the 21st minute. Despite this, our compatriot stayed on the field until the end and tried to help his team in the struggle.
After this draw, the situation in the tournament table also began to heat up: the leader "Arsenal" leads with 53 points, while "City" remained in 2nd place with 47 points, and the gap extended to 6 points. Tottenham remain in 14th place with 29 points, but the psychological return in this match was a strong signal for them for the next rounds.
