Gary Neville slams Man City stars for "incredible" Erling Haaland snub in Tottenham loss

Gary Neville heavily criticised Manchester City's stars for failing to unleash Erling Haaland during their poor performance against Tottenham.

City lost 1-0 in north London after Harry Kane struck on the quarter-hour mark following Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's fine work to win the ball back in the visitors' final third. The Englishman's strike was his 267th for Spurs and saw him surpass White Hart Lane legend Jimmy Greaves as the club's record scorer.

It was a typical counter-attacking display from Tottenham, who had less than a third of possession in the first half but pounced on City's mistake to take the lead. Riyad Mahrez hitting the crossbar was the closest Pep Guardiola's side came to scoring, with Haaland kept unusually quiet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
