City drop vital points at Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur 2 - 2 Manchester
Dominic Solanke delivered a moment of improvisation as Spurs fought back from two goals down to deal a significant blow to Man City’s title ambitions.
Guardiola's side were in total control at half-time as goals from Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo emphasised their domination, with Thomas Frank's team enduring a terrible reaction from their own fans.
Careless and very costly from Manchester City
Had anyone suggested at half-time that City would leave north London without all three points, they would have been met with disbelief.
Pep Guardiola’s side were two goals ahead and in complete control, the only question appearing to be how many goals they would score rather than whether Spurs could respond.
Strikes from Cherki and Semenyo reflected City’s dominance as Tottenham looked listless, the home support subdued until half-time jeers rang around the stadium.
But City returned after the interval with a worrying lack of intensity, easing off and allowing Spurs a foothold that had seemed unthinkable earlier.

That drop in focus gave the home side belief, and City’s carelessness ultimately saw two vital points slip away, leaving Arsenal firmly in command at the summit.
Guardiola cut a frustrated figure at full time, aware of the significance of a result that once again exposed a fragility that has lingered throughout City’s season.
This was a match City had under control and then surrendered, and such lapses have a habit of proving decisive in title races.
