Solanke dents Manchester City’s title hopes with stirring comeback for Spurs

At the end of a truly wild occasion, this the definition of the game of two halves, it was difficult to state the case for Manchester City’s Premier League title-winning aspirations.

He put on an exhibition over extra cover to turn the chase his side’s way.
