EPL: Spurs Condemn Man City To Fifth Straight Defeat Of The Season

Manchester City‘s hopes of winning the Premier League title were severely damaged on Saturday when they lost to Tottenham 4-0, their fifth consecutive loss.

The rout at the Etihad ends City’s 52-game unbeaten home run and leaves manager Pep Guardiola scrambling for answers just two days after he signed a contract extension.

Before the start of the match, City staged a spectacular tribute to the injured Rodri, who showcased the Ballon d’Or trophy he won last month.

But the feel-good spirit did not last long as Spurs showed the home team how much they are missing the Spain midfielder, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

James Maddison scored twice in the opening 20 minutes, and Pedro Porro extended the away side’s lead early in the second half.

Spurs completed their crushing win in stoppage time when Timo Werner raced down the left, squaring for Brennan Johnson to slide home.

The home side, who have lost their past three Premier League matches and their last five in all competitions, remain five points behind leaders Liverpool, who play their game in hand against Southampton on Sunday.

The four-time defending Premier League champions travel to Anfield next weekend, where defeat would leave their title hopes in tatters.
