Watch: Spurs' Solanke nets outrageous scorpion kick in Man City draw

Dominic Solanke spearheaded Tottenham Hotspur's recovery from a wretched first-half display to draw 2-2 with Manchester City on Sunday.

Solanke's second goal, which brought Spurs level, was an incredible piece of improvisation and skill. Conor Gallagher played a cross a little behind Solanke, but the forward managed to hook his foot back to produce a scorpion kick that steered the ball into the far corner.

Solanke admitted he found it hard to resist watching in-stadium replays of his goal.

"I was trying to stay focused on the game," Solanke said post-match, "but I heard the crowd cheering every time it was on the screen, so I had a few looks."

Though Manchester City held a two-goal advantage at the interval through finishes from Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo, it could've been much more. Erling Haaland, who has just one goal from open play in his last 11 matches across all competitions, was guilty of wastefully lobbing one effort over the crossbar.

Spurs retook the pitch in the second half with a renewed sense of purpose and earned a commendable point through Solanke's brace. After attempting three shots throughout the opening period, Solanke scored with Tottenham's fourth effort of the second stanza in the 53rd minute.

Solanke's superb equalizer was followed by Spurs pushing for a third goal, until City gradually shifted focus to attack, forcing the hosts to defend their box.

However, there was no dramatic winning goal in north London at the end of a Premier League weekend that featured eight strikes scored in the 85th minute or later.

"It was a game of two halves," Solanke told Sky Sports, according to BBC Sport. "The first half was difficult; we could not get near them at times.

"The second half was a different story. In the second half, we were great and grew with confidence and belief and could have gone on to win it. We know we need to start games quicker."

Manchester City are six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, who beat Leeds United on Saturday, after 24 matches. Tottenham are in 14th place following a result that should relieve pressure on head coach Thomas Frank.
