Jose Mourinho found his sixth win over Pep Guardiola as his Tottenham side managed to beat Manchester City by two goals to nil.
The game was filled with a roller-coaster of emotions. It began 13 minutes in when Raheem Sterling planted studs into Dele Alli’s ankle and VAR opted not to tell Mike Dean to change the yellow card to a red. Manchester City missed a first half penalty after a lengthy VAR review as Ilkay Gundogan saw his penalty saved by Hugo Lloris. The Tottenham skipper has saved 3 penalties from the last 4 he’s faced.
Goals from debutant Steven Bergwijn and Son Heung-min helped Tottenham beat the champions at home after Manchester City were reduced to 10 men following Oleksandr Zinchenko’s red card.
City have now lost six games in the Premier League this season; their joint-most in a single campaign under manager Pep Guardiola (six in 2016-17).
Spurs are up to fifth, 4 points off the top four while City are a stunning 22 points behind leaders Liverpool who need only 18 points to clinch the Premier League trophy and at the rate they are winning games that will not take long.
