Man City vs Tottenham final score, result (EPL): Breathtaking City comeback

Man City vs Tottenham final score, result (EPL - Round 7) - On Thursday, Manchester City defeated Tottenham 4-2 at the Etihad Stadium after a stunning comeback.

Man City vs Tottenham Highlights

Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur both came into this match seeking to bounce back from tough defeats in their respective derbies. However, the former will be happier after coming back from two goals down to secure a spectacular 4-2 victory due to goals from Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez, and Riyad Mahrez.

Man City vs Tottenham Summary

City started the better of the two teams and began to find their rhythm after a tepid opening to the game, with Jack Grealish looking to exploit space down the left. He fed in İlkay Gündoğan and Julián Álvarez, but neither of their respective efforts troubled Hugo Lloris. Antonio Conte’s men had offered very little going forward, as Son Heung-Min forced Ederson into a first, albeit comfortable save of the match to keep out his header from an enticing Ben Davies cross. Rico Lewis could have been the unlikely man to set this cagey contest alight, and his speculative strike was pushed to safety at the last moment by Lloris after taking a wicked deflection off Son.

Man City vs Tottenham Summary

However, the first half came to a crazy conclusion with Spurs netting twice in the space of three dreadful first-half minutes for Ederson. His attempted pass to Rodri was intercepted by Rodrigo Bentancur inside the box, allowing Dejan Kulusevski to pick up the loose ball and fire home to break the deadlock. That lead was doubled when the Brazilian could only parry Harry Kane's shot into the path of compatriot Emerson Royal, who nodded home the rebound to leave Spurs on course for another memorable night at the Etihad.

Conte’s men were left rueing what might have been after another sobering defeat to follow Sunday’s bruising 2-0 loss to Arsenal, and are still waiting to win consecutive matches on the road this season. Their prospects of qualifying for next season’s UEFA Champions League remain slim, and they’re now five points adrift of fourth-placed Newcastle United having played a game more than the Magpies. Meanwhile, City avoided the ignominy of a third straight league defeat to Spurs and stayed firmly in the title hunt.
