Great ball in from Grealish to the far post and Rodri seems to get there first - Lloris clatters him in the air just after.

The last time City won away to Spurs in all competitions was back in 2018; since then, Spurs have won by an aggregate score of 6-0. Mahrez almost gets on the end of a fantastic move from City that went through everyone from Ederson to Haaland. There's the space for the striker... Anything other than that and Manchester United are going to be licking their lips at the idea of finding themselves in second place. A few quick switches of play end with a diagonal cross from Walker towards Grealish at the back post. Walker slides in Haaland, who opens the play to Grealish. The winger's cross is blocked by Emerson, who has been bright in attack and defence so far for Spurs. City have passed around the block well but seem unable to find the killer ball to Haaland who has been blocked out by a thousand men. Grealish and Mahrez over the ball. He slid in brilliantly and cleared away the danger. He shot into Ederson's hands and Højbjerg's resulting effort flew wide from the edge of the box. The red card for Cuti Romero was the only black mark on a great day for the London side, who will be without him for their trip to Leicester City.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City will aim to trim the gap to leaders Arsenal in the Premier League when they face Tottenham. But the reigning champions have ...

1 hr from kickoff: The teams are in and the headline now for City is Kevin De Bruyne is only on the bench. 2 hours from kickoff: Hello and welcome to the Sporting News' coverage of Tottenham vs. He tears into the City half to plough through the back of Erling Haaland and earn a booking. That's almost certain to change in possession, with Rico Lewis tucking into the midfield alongside Rodri and Bernardo Silva. It's part cleared and Julian Alvarez lashes a volley from the edge of the box that's blocked. Emerson Royal bravely gets there first, takes a whack in the ribs from Jack Grealish and earns a free-kick for his troubles. Rodri and Nathan Ake combine to snuff out the danger. Again, the England man gets back to his own byline to tackle Emerson Royal and concede a corner. Riyad Mahrez wastes the free-kick and Jack Grealish has to charge back to dispossess Dejan Kulusevski. That could be a huge save from the Manchester City goalkeeper, but only if the players in front of him are able to recover their poise. 56th minute: Spurs get chance to release the pressure. Riyad Mahrez is the man to make way for Kevin De Bruyne, with Bernardo Silva moving to the right wing.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium remains a house of horrors for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City following Spurs 1-0 win on Sunday,

Bournemouth shows hope but Brighton’s got too much class (Brighton 1-0 AFC Bournemouth): Kaoru Mitoma certainly looks to be comfortable in the Premier League, and who needs a 20-yard banger or intra-box juggle-and fire every week? These crosses and the chaos they cause before, during, and after the ball is coming in is also why Brentford are pushing for European qualification. With Brennan Johnson in this kind of form plus other threats on the break, Forest are looking set to stay in the Premier League quite comfortably. Leicester wins thriller at Villa, but the manner don’t matter more than the result (Aston Villa 2-4 Leicester): Leicester overturned not one, but two deficits to put an end to their five-game winless skid and secure a 4-2 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday. Throw in Newcastle only having to worry about one match that isn’t in the Premier League for the rest of the summer, and Spurs’ win over Man City sounded a note for chaos. And excuse the dark humor, but his teammates must’ve missed the memo on smashing the transfer record; $360 million later, mid-table Chelsea were able to secure a point in a 0-0 draw with European hopefuls Fulham at Stamford Bridge. It is clear the Toffees have the players to drag themselves away from a relegation scrap and also now clear they have a manager who is able to lead them up the table. And they could lose to Man City twice and still have a match-in-hand to make up the point. From this angle and range, the new all-time Tottenham Hotspur goal scorer is not going to miss and Spurs lead at home with his 267th goal in the shirt. City takes the ball back and Jack Grealish and Rico Lewis are bringing electricity to the center of the park. City cannot find Erling Haaland and the xG battle is even at 0.37 even if City has 68 percent of the ball and a 6-2 edge in shots. The lofted in free kick is a bit wayward and seems to carry too much, and the passage ends with a City goal kick.

Report and free match highlights as Spurs do Arsenal a favour by taking three points from title rivals Man City; Kane scored the winner to become Spurs ...

"It was a tough week and we have to give a great compliment to all the players and the staff. "The key was the capacity to suffer when City has the ball. Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher added: "We're waiting for City to kick into the City we know so well and this might be the season where they are not themselves, for lots of different reasons," he said. "We knew very well that in that game (at City) we lost our key - our capacity to suffer. "To reach our target, we have to suffer more, to fight. Evolution is key to keeping a team at the top of the footballing food chain. The balance of the side was off and the decision to play Julian Alvarez up top with Erling Haaland at De Bruyne's expense left big holes in City's midfield. Man City failed to find their groove in the second half and Kevin De Bruyne came on as the game became stretched. Spurs were roared on by the home crowd after going ahead and continued to cause City problems with Kane coming close to doubling their lead at a set-piece. It was a landmark goal for the 29-year-old as he became Spurs' record scorer on 267 and the quickest player to 200 Premier League goals. That feeling appeared to be felt by the City players, too. Man City dominated possession in the early stages but looked vulnerable to the counter-attack.

Harry Kane scored his 267th goal for Spurs, breaking Jimmy Greaves' record, as the home side deservedly beat an off-kilter City.

Ake runs across to slide tackle Royal on the edge of the area, with the ball ricocheting behind for a goalkick. 63 min “From a tactical perspective,” says Peter Oh, “is it fair to say that Harry Kane has ripped up City’s 4-3-3/3-3-4/3-5-2 playbook with his ruthless 2-6-7? He smashes a shot that hits Dier’s knee and flies over the bar. He slides an inviting first-time ball that just evades both the diving Ederson and the sliding Kane in the six-yard box. 68 min City are looking more dangerous now, and more desperate (in a good way). Ederson comes out to save Kane’s shot brilliantly with his outstretched left leg, and the ball ricochets off Kane before going wide of the near post. Grealish has looked most likely to create something for City in the second half. 76 min Walker’s deflected long-range shot is easily saved by Lloris, City’s first shot on target in the second half. To score and win that game was just the start. They could still have drawn or even won the game, because they are that good, but that was a slightly alarming performance. There’s been so much talk about it in the last two weeks and I wanted to get it done as soon as possible. I was desperate to do it with a win as well, and in front of the home fans.
