19:21 GMT - Tottenham boss Thomas Frank to Sky Sports: "I am extremely proud of the players.

"I am so happy that they, we got something out of it and a well-deserved point.

"It's even more impressive with the injury situation we have. We are down the the bare bones and that character and never-say-die attitude from the players and the fans - the fans in the second half it means so much, they helped us so much to come back in this game. 

"It was a very good example of what we can do together. I am happy that we finally got something out of a big second half.

"We finally got something, and we are on the right track, I would say."

19:19 GMT - Man Utd interim head coach Michael Carrick to Sky Sports after beating Fulham earlier today: 

"It's a special place this, and it does special things. And credit to the boys. We knew today was going to be a really tough game. 

"Getting questions all week about breaking down a low block and beating teams that you should beat, and that was never the case today. 

"Fulham are a really good team, and we knew that we were going to have a lot of questions to answer.

"Credit to the boys for the late goal last week that we conceded to, then go again and win, and especially today, which was even tougher to take, probably to then find a winner for Benji. 

"I'm just so delighted for Sesko, and he totally deserves it. 

"It's a huge moment for all of us, but for him especially, he deserves it. He's been fantastic since I came here. So he will remember that feeling for quite some time."

19:16 GMT - Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola to Sky Sports: "It was a good game. After the goal they conceded, we struggled. We came back again. In general, it was a really good performance. Unfortunately, we could not win."

"The gameplan is try to play with the ball and try to score goals and not concede.

"They put more in the back, they found a goal, and after that, the momentum happened. some transitions the control they had we didn't have. It was not a big issue.

"We are playing at a high level. We didn't have the consistency to win the games when others were able to do it, 14 games it a lot of games. Six points. Next one."

18:50 GMT - Spurs goalscorer Dominic Solanke to Sky Sports"It was a game of two halves. The first was difficult, couldn't get near them at times, but we've seen it a few times this season where the second half is a different story.

"In the second half we were great. We grew in confidence and belief and could even have gone on to win it. 

"We know we need to start games quicker because the first half wasn't good enough, but the reaction was great.

"We know we're not good enough in the league at the moment, that's four games unbeaten, we're trying to build on it."

18:49 GMT - That was the first time since December 2007 that Manchester City have failed to have a shot on target in three consecutive second halves in the Premier League.

18:38 GMT - A good weekend for Arsenal then, who go six clear at the top of the Premier League after City and Villa both drop important points.

18:21 GMT - Nine minutes are being added on at Tottenham.

18:14 GMT - We're approaching the last five minutes of normal time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

18:10 GMT - Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have conceded 30 Premier League goals against Tottenham Hotspur, six more than any of his sides have conceded in the league throughout his managerial career (Liverpool - 24).

18:04 GMT - Spurs fans have scheduled a walkout protest at 75 minutes, but they might put that on the back burner now. Suddenly, they look more likely to win this one.

18:00 GMT - GOAL! What a goal from Dominic Solanke!

Out of nowhere, Conor Callagher pinches possession and whips in a ball that Solanke scorpion flicks in to make it 2-2.

17:46 GMT - It's in fact gone down as a Marc Guehi own goal.

Guehi has scored five own goals in the Premier League since 2022/23 - the most of any player in the competition during that time.

17:43 GMT - GOAL! It's messy, but they won't care. Tottenham are back in the game against Man City after Dominic Solanke scuffs his way through the City defence to dink the ball into the net.

16:42 GMT - GOAL! Manchester City strike first at a remarkably subdued Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Rayan Cherkhi breaks free and unleashes a relatively tame shot that beats Vicario in the Spurs goal. It's 1-0.

16:40 GMT - Fulham boss Marco Silva to Sky Sports: "Top performance from ourselves. Second half, our team was better. The way we played and controlled the ball, they wanted to press us high but we never let them. They scored when we switched off but we kept going and scored a goal that was disallowed. It is what it is. Difficult but we have to accept it.

"The story of the game started with a horrendous terrible decision from John Brooks with the penalty he gave. Horrendous decision from that moment, big, big mistake.

"It was the first time we saw all the Premier League fans and us coaches and players. We have to take all this frustration to win the next one."

"The last two results weren't great, but performance-wise we were good, so I think we were due three points."

16:20 GMT - Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White to Sky Sports: "It felt like we could have taken all three today. We dominated in the first half and we went one man down. It was Neco's natural instinct and he apologised to us all. It's not his fault.

"The gaffer said we have to stick together, run together and work as a team. To stay defensive and then go for the attack. We did that perfectly.

"We have to keep looking forward and that won't change but we have to be mindful."

16:04 GMT - FULL-TIME! Despite throwing the kitchen sink at it, Aston Villa are unable to beat 10-man Brentford, who run out 1-0 winners.

22:53 GMT - That's a wrap for tonight, we'll be back here tomorrow for more Premier League action. Night!

22:36 GMT - Mikel Arteta said Arsenal's 4-0 demolition of Leeds proved the Premier League leaders can cope with the pressure of the title race.

"We knew about the difficulty of the game and the opponent that we're facing, with a recent form and the style of play that they have at the moment, the energy that the stadium brings.

"Then the fact that after three results that didn't go our way in the league, we really wanted to show how much we wanted it. And I think we said something on that today."

22:26 GMT - For the first time in the Premier League era, Chelsea came from two down at half-time to win thanks to their captain, as Fernandez netted in stoppage time.

"We don't have many training sessions, but we spoke about reacting positively to setbacks. All of that was there in the second half, which wasn't there in the first half.

"We've had so many games in a short space of time. I was fearful of a lack of energy and not energy or lack of application, but I felt our decision-making was really poor in the first half. When to keep the ball, when we pressed, we were just too far off it."
