Solanke was involved in the first goal, doing all the hard work before forcing Marc Guehi to put the ball into the back of his own net. And not long later, he produced one of the best goals of the season, as he improvised a scorpion kick goal to draw Spurs level. Following a lung-busting run down the right flank, January signing Conor Gallagher whipped a cross into the box. The delivery was slightly behind Solanke, but the striker showed extraordinary instinct, leaning forward and flicking his trailing heel to loop the ball over a stunned Gianluigi Donnarumma.

He is a very demanding person. He knows the level we want, and he wants to fulfil the level we expect of him, Arteta said. He has been very consistent. He had a great game against Chelsea and scored to help us win the game. For the rest of his career, what he's done in the last few years, he has set the standard, and it's a standard we expect him to maintain.

Aston Villa are reportedly prepared to part ways with midfielder Ross Barkley this month, as the club looks to navigate financial constraints while sustaining a surprise Premier League title charge. According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, the Aston Villa hierarchy has made the decision to listen to offers for the 32-year-old midfielder during the January window. Ross Barkley, who is currently earning reported wages of around 75,000 per week, has entered the final six months of his contract.

The most important thing is to keep going like this. There is a long way to go. Now it's all about the Premier League and facing Man City at the weekend. We know how good they are now. We have to focus on that. The season is long. If we were seven points clear at this stage nobody would be saying that we had won the league already.
