Spurs beat Man City 2-1, moves 2 points off EPL lead

The England global swept home from the penalty spot before Christian Eriksen struck Spurs’ decisive second after Kelechi Iheanacho had drawn the home side level on Monday (AEDT).

And former Reds defender Carragher had nothing but goods words for the North London club, with the Englishman lavishing praise on their manager who has taken his side to seven wins on the trot in all competitions.

ESPNFC’s Craig Burley says that Tottenham have shown their resilience time and time again this season. “It is very important for the future”. “He played 45 minutes in a friendly with the Under-21s so I think that he is ready now to play”, Pellegrini said. It is important to start to feel that when you come to a stadium like Manchester City to play against a big team you can win.

‘He has given young players a chance and he makes them better. We are losing too many balls. Raheem Sterling leapt to block Danny Rose’s cross and took the ball off his elbow, and Mark Clattenberg thought the elbow wasn’t tucked close enough to the body.

After Sturridge and James Milner secured a 2-0 lead at halftime, Liverpool scored four goals in 13 second-half minutes – through Emre Can, Divock Origi, Nathaniel Clyne and Kolo Toure – to seal its biggest win under Juergen Klopp.

“It was the key moment that decided the game, before that they did not shoot towards our goal and did not have any chances”.

“The spirit of the team was very good, we need to improve our football but we are going to carry on fighting as far as we can”.

According to BBC Sport, Manuel Pellegrini felt that it was a wrong decision by Clattenburg to award Tottenham a penalty. I respect Pellegrini much more than before because now he is in a situation that is very hard.

The Chilean believes Clattenburg should not have been handed the match given his claim regarding the two goals in September’s reverse.

The Chilean said firmly: “I am finished with the referee”.

But as City pushed for a victor that would have lifted them within three points of the top, Toure lost possession and Erik Lamela charged forward to set up Eriksen.

“It will strengthen our belief that we are in the fight because we had a bit of a dodgy spell”, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said.

“We didn’t play a bad game – it wasn’t a matter of under-performing”.
