Tottenham 2-2 Manchester City LIVE – Spurs fight back to draw against City

“This team’s ability to respond to setbacks, I think we are growing bit by bit. I think we are showing more consistency, we are more competitive, it’s going in the right direction.

“Not all the results have gone with us but I think there’s been some good, top performances and mentality against Bournemouth, West Ham and Villa, we just didn’t get at least a point out of it.

“We are building it with players struggling left, right and centre through injuries. We’re ending a game without three normal centre-backs, two normal full-backs, we play Archie and Joao in the back four, Dragusin plays his first game in 12 months and Junai is coming on as a right midfielder.

“I think that shows everything about the team. Very proud of the players.”

Frank on why Romero was taken off: “Illness. We are assessing him but hopefully he’s fine.

“He struggled through the Frankfurt game as well and pushed through that with a fantastic captain’s performance.

“He struggled a little bit but we hope it’s nothing.”

“He clearly struggled to run fitness wise. We knew before the game it would be a big push to play 90. He’s not there fitness wise where he should be because he’s been out for so long and we’ve, in a way, been a little bit forced to play him.

“I think it’s pretty evident that he’s relatively important for us. Four goals in four games with him being at 70% or 80% of fitness.

“Imagine City playing without Haaland for six months. I think we’ve been quite hard hit with injuries in general. But Dom was excellent.”

“So you are saying we are out of the Premier League? With 14 games to play?

“We’ve had a lot of injuries, a month ago we had a lot, nine or ten players out but at the same time we are there and we continue.

“Now we have a semi-final to reach a final next Wednesday and after Anfield and we continue. Do what we have to do.”

Man City boss Pep Guardiola on the title race after today’s draw: “As long as the chance is there the hope will always be there.

“We have difficulties for many things but players are coming back and I saw an incredible spirit in many things.

“Erling is good in terms of shape. I think Nico, Bernardo and Rodri in the middle, they give us incredible presence and physicality that we need.”

Man City forward Antoine Semenyo: “We’ve got more games, there are 14 games to go. We are six points behind, it’s not the end. We have to keep going.

“Anything can happen. 14 games to go, they might lose a couple of games and we might win. The dynamic changes and we have to see what happens.”

Nico Gonzalez is in the book for a foul on Wilson Odobert.

And the referee blows his whistle! Spurs fight back to draw.

Rodri is off for Omar Marmoush.

Jun’ai Byfield is on for Dominic Solanke.

We are into nine minutes of injury time here.

Phil Foden is on for Bernardo Silva.

Now it is Spurs’ chance to go close.

Xavi Simons wins it back and fires a cross towards Wilson Odobert in the area but the Frenchman cannot force the ball over the line.

Haaland’s header across goal finds Reijnders who heads just wide from six yards out.

Will there be a winner here?

City have the ball in the box after a Silva free kick which Guehi tries to force towards goal, but finds the shot blocked by Sarr before Haaland flicks the ball over the bar.

So close from Reijnders.

Silva’s cross finds the midfielder whose header drifts just wide.

Spurs are all over City now.

Xavi Simons this time draws an excellent save from the Dutchman from just outside the area.

Xavi Simons drives through the middle of the pitch and finds Wilson Odobert. The Frenchman fires goalwards and is only stopped by the outstretched leg of Donnarumma.

Dominic Solanke makes it 2-2!

Conor Gallagher wins the ball back and whips it in towards Solanke who scorpion kicks it in.

Rayan Cherki is replaced by Tijani Reijnders. Rayan Ait-Nouri is off for Nico Gonzalez.

Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel are on.

Yves Bissouma and Randal Kolo Muani are off.

Xavi Simons’ cross is so close to finding Dominic Solanke but the striker just cannot get a toe on the ball to divert goalwards.

Palhinha does brilliantly to win the ball back and find Kolo Muani who drives into the City box and wins a corner.

Guehi is close to making amends for his own goal.

He meets Cherki’s corner unchallenged, but his header drifts wide.

Frank changed Spurs’ system to a four at the back with Sarr replacing Romero and since then they have been back in the game here.
