Dejan Kulusevski scored a 90th minute equaliser to rescue a point for Tottenham as they drew 3-3 with Manchester City on Sunday.
A goal and own goal from Son Heung-Min inside the first nine minutes started off a topsy-turvy game, with Phil Foden giving a dominant City the lead before the break.
Giovani Lo Celso equalised in the second-half before Jack Grealish appeared to score the winning goal nine minutes from time, only for Kulusevski to head home the equaliser in dramatic fashion.
Spurs went into the match off the back of three straight losses and amidst an injury crisis that has decimated their squad.
And with Ange Postecoglou unwilling to deviate from his attacking style of football, many predicted that City would run riot against them.
But it was the away side that struck first, with Son opening the scoring after just six minutes from a blistering counter-attack that started from a City corner.
But just three minutes later, the Spurs skipper put the ball in the back of his own net after unluckily turning in Julian Alvarez’s free-kick.

As expected, the Citizens dominated possession and ought to have opened up abig lead in the first-half, with Erling Haaland shockingly missing a practically open goal before skying another chance.
The Citizens eventually took a deserved lead when Foden finished off an intricate move from close range, just moments after Jeremy Doku had smacked the woodwork with a fierce effort.
Alvarez would hit the other post soon after, while Bernardo Silva forced a great save from Guglielmo Vicario just seconds into the second-half, as Spurs continued to struggle to impose themselves on the pitch.

But then City were made to pay for their missed chances as out of nowhere Lo Celso fired in an equaliser from outside the box in the 69th minute.
The Argentine came close to restoring the visitor’s lead soon after while Rodri also spurned a good chance over the bar for the home side after a neat pull back from Rico Lewis.
It seemed certain there would be more goals and indeed there was with Yves Bissouma poorly losing possession on the edge of his box allowing Haaland to tee up Grealish to score what looked like the winner.

But Spurs rallied with Kulusevski powering a brilliant header past Ederson from Brennan Johnson’s cross in the 90th minute to ensure that the two clubs shared the points.
But there was controversy in the dying seconds when Grealish broke free of Spurs’ defence and could have had a run at goal, only for referee Simon Hooper to blow his whistle and pull the game back for a foul on Haaland.
