Fifth consecutive defeat.. Tottenham humiliates Manchester City with four goals

Manchester City suffered a heavy defeat from its guest Tottenham 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium, in the match of the 12th round of the English Premier League.

James Maddison celebrated his 28th birthday in an ideal way, after scoring the first two goals for Tottenham in the 13th and 20th minutes.

In the second half, Pedro Porro scored the third goal in the 53rd minute, before Brennan Johnson completed the Spurs’ four goals in the 92nd minute.

The defeat comes a few hours after Pep Guardiola announced his contract renewal with City for an additional two years.

In general, this is only the second defeat in Guardiola’s history with City in the Premier League with a score of 4-0, after losing by the same score in 2017 against Everton.

The defeat against Tottenham is the fifth consecutive defeat in all competitions, which is something that has happened for the first time in Guardiola’s career.

City continue without a win in the Premier League for the third match in a row after losing the last two matches against Bournemouth and Brighton respectively.

It is worth noting that this is the second defeat for City against Tottenham this month, after the Blues lost to the London club 2-1 in the Carabao Cup but at Tottenham’s stadium.

With this defeat, Manchester City’s balance froze at 23 points in second place, and the opportunity became favorable for Liverpool to move away at the top if they win against Southampton and reach 31 points.

It is worth noting that Manchester City’s next confrontation in the Premier League will be very difficult against the leader Liverpool at Anfield.
