City controlled possession in the second half but Spurs took the lead for a second time through Kane, who converted Son's cross on the half-volley just before the hour. With time running out, Cristian Romero handled in the area to allow Riyad Mahrez to equalise in stoppage time equaliser from the spot, but there was time for another twist.
