Former Celtic and Norwich City striker Chris Sutton has questioned Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's decision-making after his side slipped to a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.
After Arsenal dropped points against relegation-threatened Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime, City travelled to the capital with the knowledge that three points against Spurs would have lifted them to within two points of the Gunners at the top of the table. However, Harry Kane's record-breaking goal after just 15 minutes was enough to condemn the Blues to a second successive Premier League away defeat.
It means City remain five points behind Arsenal and could be joined on 45 points by cross-city rivals Manchester United on Wednesday evening, should the Reds beat Leeds United at Old Trafford. City have not been at their fluent best in recent weeks, attracting frequent criticism, and Guardiola's decision to leave Kevin De Bruyne out of the starting line-up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was questioned.
