Hello everyone and welcome into our ESPN FC studios for the latest edition of the show.
I'm Alexis Yunus alongside Stevie Nicol and Shaka Hyslop.
We're going to kick things off in the Premier League because it was a busy day as Tottenham hosted Manchester City in quite the enticing fixture and it was really a tale of two halves.
Pretty much went Manchester City's way in the first half, apart from a rare Erling Haaland miss on goal, but City still found themselves 2-0 up.
And then Thomas Frank's men came out renewed in the second half and Tottenham fought their way back to level things through.
Two goals from Dominic Solanke, although there was a bit of controversy in his first goal as he appeared to foul Mark Gahey in the process.
But in the end, both had to share the points.
Here's a look at the top half of the Premier League standings then.
So Arsenal will be very, very happy after that result as Manchester City fall further behind.
They are now six points behind the Gunners in this title race.
All right, let's welcome in the third member of our team here, Don Hutchison.
But Stevie, let me start with you on this one.
Because, I mean, props to Spurs, but how on earth did City blow this?
Yeah, Don, I mean, I hate to sound like a cliche, but it really was a tale of two halves, wasn't it?
Well, Don, I want to throw the chat back to Manchester City, but specifically about Erling Haaland, because we talk about that chance that we saw.
Xhaka said he would be willing to put his mortgage that he would have absolutely scored it.
But if we look at the stats right now, he's got one shot on goal in his last six games, which is not the Erling Haaland that entertained us in the early half of the season.
