Solanke scores stunning equaliser against Manchester City
Dominic Solanke scored one of the most incredible goals you will likely see to level the match against Manchester City, reports BritPanorama.
Tottenham were in dire need of a hero at half-time after City ran rampant and netted twice before the break. However, Solanke, who was instrumental in Tottenham’s first goal before it was awarded as a Marc Guehi own goal, turned the match on its head with a sensational finish 20 minutes from time.
Following a brilliant break from Conor Gallagher, who intercepted the ball in midfield before embarking on a marauding run, the midfielder delivered a cross for Solanke. But with the ball slightly behind him, the former Chelsea and Liverpool striker had to improvise. He flicked his leg behind his back before making contact with the ball, steering it goalward with remarkable skill.
Speaking on co-commentary, Gary Neville reflected, “That is some finish, by the way! Wow! He slows himself down. It’s going over his shoulder. I could watch this again, again and again! What did Thomas Frank say to them at half-time? Whatever it was, it’s worked.” Beside him, Peter Drury could only remark: “Genius!”
Solanke’s goal not only showcased his individual brilliance but also highlighted Tottenham’s resilience and ability to regroup after a challenging first half. With the result, the momentum shifted, and fans were left with a reminder of the unpredictability and excitement that characterises Premier League football.
