Spurs' best performance of the season by a mile. And to overtake him is a huge moment for me." "We knew very well that in that game (at City) we lost our key - our capacity to suffer. "It is a great feeling. "The key was the capacity to suffer when City has the ball. "Tottenham has a fantastic team and squad and they punish you. "We are not in the position to think about being champions, just the next game, Aston Villa. We played good, started well and missed maybe the last pass, to shoot." I’ve got plenty of goals to come, I’m feeling good. Not sure I’ve done that yet but my friends and family were here so it was a special time to do it." Harry Kane spoke to the BBC after his record-breaking goal: "My first ever Spurs goal was against Shamrock Rovers a long, long time ago, away from home.

Both teams hope to snatch the coveted three points to start their February run. City is blessed to have no players spending time on the treatment table. On January 19, City fell behind 2-0 at halftime before putting in four goals in the second half. They secured the league double last season: Heung-Min Son’s goal opened the Spurs’ 2021-2022 season with a win, while the second matchup was a 3-2 victory, thanks to Harry Kane’s heroics where he squeaked a header in the 95th minute off of a Dejan Kulsevski cross. They got 36 points off of 11 wins and three draws in 21 games in the Prem. Harry Kane, who has 16 goals this season, hopes to deliver a tantalizing game, especially when he is set off to take the league’s leading goalscorer.

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

Harry Kane became the outright record-holder for most goals scored for Tottenham Hotspur by netting his 267th on Sunday. It came against Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola has explained why Kevin De Bruyne was not named in Manchester City's starting XI at Tottenham and why Phil Foden missed out completely.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: While De Bruyne was named among the substitutes, England international forward Foden was not involved in the matchday squad at all. De Bruyne was once the first name on the team sheet for City, as a two-time PFA Player of the Year, but Guardiola has already The Blues opted to leave their Belgium international midfielder on the bench at Spurs, with Rico Lewis starting again while Rodri operated in a holding role and Bernardo Silva filled a playmaking post.

Harry Kane made history with his goal as Tottenham beat Man City and stopped Pep Guardiola's side from taking advantage of Arsenal's earlier loss.

[Aston Villa](/soccer/team?id=362) (Feb. - This was the first time since joining Manchester City that Erling Haaland failed to attempt a shot in a game. [Leicester City](/soccer/team?id=375) in a potentially tricky Premier League clash on Feb. We know when we play against this team we have to suffer because they have the ball a lot but we moved well in the defensive situation and defended the goal in a brilliant way. We knew very well that in that game (at City) we lost our key - our capacity to suffer. Yet that was precisely how City lost this game: [Rico Lewis](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/325564/Rico-Lewis) lost the ball near his own box and Tottenham pounced. To do it here against one of the best teams in the world, it's a special feeling." I was desperate to do it with a win as well, and in front of the home fans. [Kevin De Bruyne](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/134947/Kevin-De-Bruyne) -- City's best passer of the ball, and one of the finest the Premier League has ever seen -- was a decision that palpably backfired, but more than that, Guardiola's 4-2-4 setup did not have the desired effect. De Bruyne was introduced just before the hour mark, but City only marginally improved and the suspicion remains that despite his ferocious start to life in England, City are yet to find a way to consistently involve Haaland. In doing so, Kane became only the third player to score 200 goals in the Premier League era after Alan Shearer (260) and Wayne Rooney (208). Kane is also the quickest to reach that milestone, having required 304 games compared to Shearer (306) and Rooney (462).

"The amount of times they got counter-attacked on today, the amount of times they got broken through, the amount of space they gave up in midfield - that doesn't happen. "It's not the Manchester City of old." "When they lose it they win it back quickly and keep team pinned back. There have been times when I've watched his teams lose and think: "that's a Pep Guardiola performance". And I've said it a couple of times since," said Neville. "Arsenal fans have been up in arms about that thinking I'm not giving them respect.

Manchester City lost at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the fifth game in a row as Cristian Stellini oversaw a 1-0 win in Antonio Conte's absence.

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.

MOTD2 pundit Nedum Onuoha explains what went wrong for Manchester City in their defeat by Tottenham and why it is good news for Premier League leaders ...

It turns into a game of cat and mouse, looking forward but thinking about what is behind you too. It is not just down to them finding Haaland, though. The crowd are not going to react like your own fans do when their side try to slow things down, which Spurs did very cleverly on Sunday after they went ahead. In past seasons, before you needed to be absolutely flawless to win the league, I would look at how title races were decided and say that part of what champions are made of is being a side who can find a way to win even when they are not playing well. [Kane passes Greaves as Spurs' all-time top scorer](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64532175) [What did you make of Manchester City's display? Most of City's squad are not playing at their best and as a team they definitely look more human but, unlike Jurgen Klopp's side, they are still finding a way to be competitive at the top of the table. I'd argue City have still managed to do that to a certain extent this season, which is why they are just about afloat and still have a chance to defend their title, even if that looks like a difficult task from here. City have not played as well this season as they have done in previous campaigns under Guardiola, but you have to remember they had reached a level of near perfection for most of that time. You want to over-commit because you are desperate for the equaliser, but the Tottenham front three is a constant danger, so that has to be at the back of your mind. Spurs' goal on Sunday came in a different way, which was similar to their first goal at Etihad Stadium last month - it was their press that put City in trouble when they tried to play out from the back, and Harry Kane pounced. When you break down why they have consistently struggled there, you have to start with their style of play - the way City usually play, high up the pitch, suits Spurs because it allows them to sit deep and break forward, and in players like Harry Kane and Son Heung-min they have exactly the right weapons to make those moments count. The biggest reason City lost was their lack of creativity, and when your number nine - especially someone as deadly as Erling Haaland - does not have a shot at goal in the entire game, then of course you have to question what went wrong.

Despite plenty of City possession, Tottenham held firm to move a point off the top four and do rivals Arsenal a big favor in the title race. Tottenham assistant coach Cristian Stellini, filling in for Conte, was attempting to match the animated presence of his fellow Italian on the touchline but saw his team enjoy a slice of luck before the break. City was dominating possession but soon felt the familiar feeling of trailing to Tottenham — and it proved a record-breaking goal.

At the hearing, the panel found most of the breaches alleged were not established or the time was barred, which effectively means they happened too long ago for UEFA to do anything about them.

A judge ruled against City, and even chided the process that had allowed City to win multiple league titles as the case dragged on without resolution. The league is one of the world’s richest sporting competitions, and it is populated by a half-dozen more of the world’s most deep-pocketed teams — all of them chasing the same prizes as City every season. But last spring he revealed that he told the club’s management he would quit if what they had told him was found to be untrue. Bankrolled by one of the world’s richest men, the club appeared prepared to spend any sum to prevail. Unlike UEFA, the Premier League does not have a statute of limitations in its disciplinary regulations. No previous Premier League investigation has lasted as long as the current case against City, for example, nor has one produced allegations of wrongdoing spread over so many seasons. The club declared itself “surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches” and said that it had turned over a “vast amount of detailed materials.” Manchester City is accused of more than 100 violations, including failing to provide accurate financial information “that gives a true and fair view of the club’s financial position”; not disclosing contractual payments to managers and players; and failing, as required, to cooperate with Premier League investigators. City has been a leading light over the past decade, with six championships since 2012, including four of the past five. But the City case is already unusual for a number of reasons. In effect, UEFA’s investigation had taken too long to consider the most serious offenses, the appeals panel found, and so the club escaped the harshest punishments levied against it. League officials declined to comment further on the statement or on the case against City.
