The hosts took an early lead through Erling Haaland, who latched onto a through ball and calmly slotted it past Hugo Lloris. However, Tottenham responded swiftly with two quickfire goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Emerson Royal. City’s relentless attack forced the equalizer as Riyad Mahrez curled a stunning free-kick into the top corner.

Manchester City’s win extends their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 10 games. They now have a commanding lead at the top of the table, with Arsenal and Newcastle United trailing behind. The Premier League title race is still very much in the balance, but Manchester City have certainly taken a significant step towards retaining their crown. Their attacking firepower and unwavering belief will make them tough to overcome for any rival team.
