Premier League results: Man City suffers crushing defeat against Tottenham

The highlight match of round 12 of the Premier League between Man City and Tottenham had a shocking score. In Pep Guardiola's illustrious coaching career, this is only the fourth time his team has lost 4-0. Man City lost their 5th consecutive match, something that has never happened before under the Spanish coach.

Before the match against Tottenham, Man City extended the contract of coach Guardiola for 2 years and held a ceremony to honor Rodri with the Golden Ball. However, the joy of Man City and the home fans was quickly extinguished after the ball rolled.

Within the first 20 minutes of the match, James Maddison - on his birthday - scored two goals to help Tottenham lead 2-0. In nearly 15 years, Man City have never been 2 goals behind at home so quickly in the Premier League.

Man City tried to attack, while Tottenham took the initiative to set up a tight defense. Erling Haaland and his teammates launched 10 shots in the first half, but only 2 were on target and could not beat the away team's goalkeeper. On the other hand, Tottenham's counterattacks caused trouble.

The challenge for Man City became even greater when the team conceded a third goal early in the second half. With only four home players running back to defend, they could not stop Pedro Porro from scoring.

Man City continued to attack and put pressure on. They created more chances than in the first half. However, the goal still did not come to the home team even when Haaland was one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

Tottenham ended the match brilliantly with a counter-attack in the third minute of stoppage time. Timo Werner dribbled the ball halfway across the pitch and set up Brennan Johnson to easily put the ball into an empty net. Tottenham won 4-0.
