Solanke Brace Rescues Spurs in 2-2 vs. Man City After VAR Upholds Contested Goal

The VAR call on Solanke's first goal sharpened focus on Manchester City's second-half frailty.

Overview

  • Manchester City led 2-0 at halftime through Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo before Tottenham rallied after the break.
  • Dominic Solanke scored twice, with his first standing after a VAR review of contact with Marc Guéhi and his second a scorpion finish from Conor Gallagher's cross.
  • Pep Guardiola questioned the decision to allow Solanke's opener and said City will keep fighting for the title.
  • The draw leaves City six points behind leaders Arsenal and extends a pattern of second‑half drop-offs, including ending a run of wins when two up at the break dating to April 2018.
  • Injury-hit Spurs, reported to be without around 11 senior players, took encouragement from Solanke's form since his return, now four goals in six appearances.
