The Citizens had deservedly gone two goals up by halftime, with Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo scoring.
However, Spurs roared back with Solanke netting twice, including a stunning scorpion kick, to secure a draw and leave City six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.
In a post-match interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, Guardiola was asked about the decision to allow Solanke’s opening goal.
"Well, if you do it to a striker it would be a penalty. I'm not a referee. Fascinating in the Premier League.
"If a central defender does it to a striker, it's a penalty, right? You said it, I didn't say it, you saw it."
