Paul Merson has insisted that Manchester City must overcome Tottenham in order to keep their Premier League title hopes alive. Spurs are set to welcome the reigning champions to N17 on Sunday, February 5 as they look to avenge their defeat in the reverse fixture last month.
Dejan Kulusevski and Emerson Royal netted twice in the final moments of the first-half against Pep Guardiola's side at the Etihad Stadium. With a 2-0 lead at the break, Tottenham looked set to clinch all three points but City had other ideas.
They launched out of the blocks and pulled back two goals inside the opening ten minutes of the second-half, thanks to Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland. City went from strength to strength and Riyad Mahrez eventually clinched the victory to keep table-toppers Arsenal in their sights.
