Manchester City bounced back from two painful losses and defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1–0 to get back into the Champions League places in the Premier League.
Erling Haaland returned to the lineup after missing out on the last two games and quickly got back in the scoresheet, calmly tucking away a Jérémy Doku low cross for his 20th goal of the season to give Manchester City the lead 12 minutes in. The Citizens had chances to extend their lead, but went into halftime with just a one goal advantage.
