What happened the last time Manchester City faced Tottenham in the Premier League?
All eyes will be on Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur tonight in what could be a Premier League title decider. Let's take a look at what happened the last time these two sides faced each other.
Pep Guardiola and Co. hosted Spurs at the Etihad in the reverse fixture on December 3, 2023, and were held 3-3 in a thriller. Son Heung-min gave Tottenham an early lead in the sixth minute but was unfortunate to score an own goal just three minutes later.
Phil Foden made it 2-1 in the 31st minute but Giovani Lo Celso leveled the scores in the 69th minute. Jack Grealish appeared to have given City the win in the 81st minute. However, Dejan Kulusevski shocked the Cityzens with a 90th-minute goal to earn his side a deserved point.
Tottenham have won each of their last four league home games against Manchester City, without conceding a goal. They will be aiming to do the same tonight to boost their odds of UEFA Champions League qualification.
