The Tottenham fixture Cristian Romero will miss after Premier League red card vs Man City

Tottenham secured a memorable win over Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Harry Kane provided the winning goal after just 15 minutes with that strike seeing the England captain break Jimmy Greaves' goalscoring record of 266 for the club.

In the absence of Antonio Conte, who underwent surgery in the week and was thus recovering at home in Italy, Cristian Stellini lead Spurs to their fifth straight victory against City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in all competitions, with Pep Guardiola's side yet to score at Tottenham's new home since it was opened in 2019.

Tottenham certainly set the precedent for the battle in the early stages with firm challenges from Rodrigo Bentancur and Cristian Romero seeing them cautioned in the first half. Riyad Mahrez struck the bar just before half time, but as the second 45 went on, Spurs were the team creating chances with Kane inches away from converting Ivan Perisic's cross, while Son Heung-min forced Ederson into a save low to his right.
