United survive, Spurs hold City
The Citizen
|February 02, 2026
Manchester City’s Premier League title challenge hit a fresh stumbling block as Dominic Solanke’s acrobatic strike salvaged a 2-2 draw for struggling Tottenham yesterday, while Benjamin Sesko (above) secured another thrilling 3-2 win for Manchester United over Fulham.
-
City were cruising towards what would have been another damaging defeat for Spurs boss Thomas Frank as they led 2-0 at halftime.
But Solanke scored twice in the second half to leave Pep Guardiola's men six points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
City have won just one of their six league games in 2026 to allow the Gunners to move closer to a first title in 22 years.
Rayan Cherki fired the visitors into an early lead and was only denied a spectacular second by a brilliant Guglielmo Vicario save.
