Tottenham Hotspur pulled off a remarkable comeback to earn a 2-2 draw against Manchester City on Sunday, handing Arsenal a significant advantage in the Premier League title race. The north London derby was a thrilling contest, with Dominik Solanke scoring a stunning scorpion kick goal to level the score and seal a point for Spurs. Arsenal, who lead the league by six points with 14 games remaining, had a day to forget as Tottenham's rivals in the title chase suffered setbacks. Aston Villa, who were 10-man Brentford's only challengers for second place, lost 1-0 at home, while Manchester United scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner to beat Fulham 3-2. United's comeback, sparked by a late equalizer from Raul Jimenez, was completed by a stunning finish from Benjamin Sesko, who curled home a cross from Bruno Fernandes in front of the Stretford End. The win saw United move within five points of Villa, who remain seven points behind Arsenal. The match was also marred by a protest from around 500-600 United fans unhappy with the ownership of the club. However, the team's resurgence under new manager Michael Carrick has lifted spirits among fans, and they will be hoping to continue their good form as they bid to return to the Champions League. In other Premier League action, Crystal Palace drew 1-1 with 10-man Nottingham Forest, while Arsenal continued their title charge with a 4-0 win over Leeds on Saturday. The Gunners will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the table as the season enters its final stretch.
