Tottenham recorded back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since October as they registered a huge victory over Manchester City on Sunday afternoon. The Lilywhites pulled off a classic performance against the champions that has so often made them a thorn in their side, even without head coach Antonio Conte as he recovered from surgery in Italy.
While the home team had far less possession, they looked dangerous early on when springing counters and pressing and opened the scoring in exactly that way. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg dispossessed Rico Lewis to lay the ball off to Harry Kane, who slotted home his 267th Spurs goal, becoming the club's all-time top goal scorer by overtaking the late, great Jimmy Greaves.
Pep Guardiola's men looked a shell of their former selves, with the Spaniard scrambling to answers for their spluttering season so far and unable to find the combination to unlock the Tottenham defence. It was all on defending late in the game, with Cristian Romero taking a second yellow for the team, meaning he will miss the clash with Leicester City next Saturday.
