Thomas Frank was a relieved man at full-time of Tottenham’s enthralling draw against Manchester City.

After goals from Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo had given City a 2-0 half-time lead, fans departed the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their droves.

However, those fans look foolish now as an inspired half-time team talk from Frank saw Dominic Solanke score twice to earn Tottenham a very important point.

Spurs bounced back with a very credible point following defeat to West Ham and a draw with Burnley last week and now Frank will hope to get some new additions across the line before the deadline.

What Conor Gallagher said about Dominic Solanke

Gallagher is one of two summer signings made by Tottenham, and after starring against City, he decided to pay tribute to the goalscoring hero.

Solanke has been in red-hot form since returning from injury, and his performance was the catalyst for Spurs coming back to claim an excellent point.

Gallagher was impressed with his teammate and said during his press interview: “He’s a top player. Dom has been brilliant the last few games since he came back from injury. He is strong, he can put his body about and he brings players into the game. You could see that in the second half.

“Everyone was very good in the second half. We stuck together and showed great character and personality. I just hope we can kick on from this and get some better results.”
