Dissent was in the air with Manchester City<\/a> in total control at half-time at Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> Stadium.<\/p>\n

The hosts were two goals down and the deficit could and perhaps should have been more.<\/p>\n

Yet on a day when campaign group Change for Tottenham<\/a> called for an open revolt in the stands over the club’s perceived lack of ambition in the transfer market and high ticket prices, Thomas Frank’s side staged a superb fightback to draw 2-2.<\/p>\n

By the time Dominic Solanke registered his second goal of the game with a wonderfully improvised scorpion kick, any possibility of a mass walkout had been averted.<\/p>\n

Instead of concluding to half-empty stands, “Oh when the Spurs go marching in” reverberated around the ground at full-time in complete contrast to the chorus of boos only 60 minutes earlier.<\/p>\n

“We can create something magic together – the players and the fans – when we are united like we were, especially second half but also the Dortmund game,” Frank told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n

“That atmosphere, intensity – that’s what pushed the players and they really needed it.<\/p>\n

“What I like and what I think is truly important is when your back is against the wall as a team and a group you need to fight. You can never give up.<\/p>\n

“I love that never-say-die attitude from the players and the fans were massive for us. The mentality is building stronger and stronger.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dissent was in the air with Manchester City in total control at half-time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
