Tottenham Hotspur delivers a stunning 3-0 victory over Manchester City, breaking Pep Guardiola’s 52-game unbeaten home streak.
Manchester City suffered a remarkable fifth consecutive defeat as Tottenham triumphed 4-0 at the Etihad, thereby ending the English champions’ impressive 52-game unbeaten streak at home on Saturday.
James Maddison scored twice within seven minutes in the first half, while Pedro Porro added to the misery for his former club, and Brennan Johnson sealed the victory.
The match saw little go in favor of City, who managed only five shots on target from 23 attempts, while Tottenham capitalized on their chances.
Prior to the match, there was a sense of optimism as the club and fans honored Rodri, and Pep Guardiola’s recent two-year contract extension added to the hopeful atmosphere.
City began the game with promise, applying pressure on Spurs, but despite a bright start, they fell behind early when Maddison scored from a low cross by Dejan Kulusevski.
Tottenham quickly doubled their lead through Maddison again, showcasing their clinical finishing, while City struggled to convert their opportunities, leaving them two goals down at halftime.
Nathan Ake came on for John Stones at the beginning of the second half, but just seven minutes later, a well-executed play by Tottenham resulted in Pedro Porro extending their lead to 3-0.
Despite the disappointment, the City supporters continued to back their team, believing that a single goal could ignite a remarkable comeback.
Approaching the hour mark, Haaland seized the ball on the right side of the penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot that narrowly missed the top of the crossbar.
The situation was further exacerbated as Spurs players frequently went down after challenges, yet no penalties were awarded.
In added time, substitute Timo Werner scored a fourth goal, deepening Manchester City’s woes.
