Manchester City missed the opportunity to keep pace with Arsenal in the Premier League title race after settling for a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday evening.
Pep Guardiola’s side went into the clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium aware that Arsenal had earlier thrashed Leeds United 4-0, putting pressure on the champions to respond. Elsewhere, Aston Villa also dropped points, suffering a 1-0 defeat to 10-man Brentford.
City appeared to be in control after racing into a two-goal lead, with goals from Ryan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo. However, Tottenham mounted a strong second-half comeback, as Dominic Solanke struck twice to rescue a point for the hosts.
The result means Arsenal has now opened up a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
