Tottenham had threatened to win this Carabao Cup tie at a canter. Two goals up after 25 minutes, there was almost disbelief within the home crowd and not only because Timo Werner had scored the first.
Everybody knew this was not how the story would go and so we had the Manchester City fightback, Matheus Nunes scoring before half-time and then a concerted attempt by Spurs to seal the deal. They created a fistful of chances in the second half, some of them crystal clear, and yet they could not take them.
