Tottenham roars back to draw with Man City and do Arsenal a favor in Premier League title race

In a significant Premier League match on February 1, 2026, Tottenham Hotspur secured a dramatic 2-2 draw against second-place Manchester City after trailing by two goals. Dominik Solanke scored both of Tottenham's goals in the second half, with the equalizer coming from an impressive scorpion kick. This result provided a major boost to league leaders Arsenal, extending their advantage over City to six points with 14 games remaining.

Elsewhere, Aston Villa, another title contender, suffered a setback by losing 1-0 at home to Brentford, despite Brentford playing with ten men. The lone goal was scored by Brentford's Dango Ouattara. This loss leaves Villa seven points behind Arsenal and vulnerable to being caught by the teams below them.

Manchester United continued their strong form under new manager Michael Carrick, securing a third consecutive league win with a 3-2 victory over Fulham. Benjamin Sesko scored the stoppage-time winner, with earlier goals from Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo contributing to the comeback. United's recent run, which includes wins over Manchester City and Arsenal, has revitalized their campaign and closed the gap on the top teams.

For Manchester City, the draw with Tottenham represented a major missed opportunity. They had led 2-0 at halftime through goals from Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo against an injury-depleted Spurs side but collapsed in the second half. This result is part of a concerning trend for City, who have shown vulnerability in recent matches, including losses to Manchester United and Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League.
