Tottenham Hotspur staged an extraordinary comeback at the Etihad Stadium, snatching a 2-2 draw against Manchester City in a thrilling Premier League encounter. The visitors' fortunes changed dramatically with the introduction of Dominic Solanke as a substitute, who scored twice – including a spectacular scorpion kick that will be remembered for years to come.
Solanke's double sealed an impressive turnaround for Spurs, who had trailed 1-0 at halftime after Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring. The Belgian midfielder had been clinical on the edge of the box, and it seemed as though Manchester City would cruise to victory.
However, Solanke's introduction in the second half marked a turning point for Tottenham. The English striker's energetic displays have been a concern for Spurs all season, but he showed flashes of brilliance at Old Trafford, scoring not only his first goal for the club but also an incredible 90th-minute equalizer that sent the travelling supporters into raptures.
Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan was the one to provide the assist for Solanke's second goal, before being sent off in the dying moments of the match. The German midfielder will receive a red card for his reckless tackle on Toby Alderweireld, leaving Manchester City with just 10 men for the final few minutes.
The victory marked Tottenham's fourth draw of the season, and it showed that the team is still capable of producing remarkable results against top-tier opposition. For Solanke, though, this was a milestone moment in his Spurs career – one that will be remembered for years to come.

! i'm still trying to wrap my head around that scorpion kick by solanke 
! it's like he had a sixth sense or something. the way spurs came back from 1-0 down is just insane. they've got some serious depth to their squad and solanke's been struggling all season, but today he proved himself to be a game-changer 
️. and that tackle by ilkay gundogan? reckless, plain and simple 
. red card for him, no question.
. i'm loving every minute of this season so far, and this match has definitely cemented spurs' spot in my fantasy team 
. solanke's future is looking brighter by the minute, and spurs fans everywhere are rejoicing 
!
Tottenham's comeback was all about having faith in themselves and their new player Dominic Solanke. The spark he brought to the team turned the game around, showing that even in a tough match against top-tier Manchester City, Spurs can still pull off an incredible draw! 
! It just goes to show that anything can happen in football, even when you're not expecting it. And that tackle by Ilkay Gundogan on Toby Alderweireld... so reckless 
. Glad Spurs managed to hold off Manchester City until the very end. This draw is definitely a morale boost for Tottenham fans 
!
They've got this crazy knack for turning games around when it seems like all hope is lost. I mean, who needs a solid defense or a reliable striker when you can just rely on these crazy comebacks? 
And Solanke's scorpion kick? Forget about it! That's like something out of a video game. The way he just floated in there and scored with this ridiculous kick... magic! 
I'm not saying Spurs are suddenly going to challenge for the title or anything, but it's nice to see them being a bit unpredictable every now and then.
can you believe solanke's scorpion kick lol what a goal!!! 
i've been saying it since last season, spurs have the best squad depth in the league and they're just getting better and better 
and that assist from ilkay? genius! 
So I'm thinking... 2-0 down at halftime and then you get two new subs and suddenly the game's turned on its head? 
That's what makes football so crazy, right? The difference between two subs can make all the difference in a match like that. Dominic Solanke's goals were insane, especially that scorpion kick - I mean who expects to see something like that in a Premier League match? 
It just goes to show that even when you're down and out, anything can happen with a bit of energy and determination. And for Spurs, it's another draw which shows they're still capable of beating the big teams. The fact that Solanke finally found his scoring form is a bonus too - I'm excited to see what he does next season! 
, scoring two goals including that insane scorpion kick 
. Can't wait to see what he does next!
