Graeme Souness slammed Pep Guardiola's decision to name Kevin de Bruyne on the bench against Tottenham - and his pre-match verdict was proved spot on as Manchester City lacked creativity in their 1-0 defeat.
Harry Kane's record-breaking strike proved to be the difference between the two sides at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs closed the gap on fourth-placed Newcastle in the Champions League race. Meanwhile, City missed the chance to move within two points of leaders Arsenal with defeat in north London.
Before the game, Souness decided to question Guardiola's decision to drop De Bruyne to the bench in favour of Julian Alvarez. It was a move that did not work out for the Spaniard, however, as Argentine forward Alvarez failed to deceive and struggled to get involved.
