That belief enabled the players to dig deep into their reserves, 2-0 down approaching the hour after City’s quick one-two just after the break, then two centre-backs down as Toby Alderweireld limped off just after we’d pulled a goal back. Kevin Wimmer had been substituted in a tactical switch at half-time.
Dele Alli made it 11 goals for the season in the Premier League with that first, crucial goal back - a fine header from Kyle Walker's superb delivery - before Heung-Min Son finished off a slick move for 2-2 on 77 minutes.
Both teams went for the win - City tested deputy centre-back Victor Wanyama to the limit as it ended a point apiece.
