Breathtaking, amazing: perhaps only English football offers matches like this.
After having already almost secured its place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League by winning (5-0) at Sporting Portugal during the week, Manchester City fell from above at home in the league against Tottenham (2-3) .
This defeat of the Premier League leader in a completely crazy final against a team in bad shape and who remained on 3 defeats owes nothing to bad luck.
đ¸ What a parade, the firm hand of Hugo Lloris comes to save the Spurs after a nice strike from GĂźndoÄan!

Let's pick up the thread.
Faced with a dominating Manchester City as expected, Hugo Lloris' Spurs, who were playing their 400th game in the colors of Tottenham, quickly took the lead on a collective action by Kane who found a deflection to launch Son from the halfway line. .
The Korean only had to serve Kulusevski for the opener (4th).
Less than half an hour later, the Premier League boss equalized thanks to GĂźndogan (33rd).
The two teams returned to the locker room back to back (1-1).
Not for long: a quarter of an hour after the start of the second half, Kane, very discreet since the start of the season, started his show and allowed the Spurs to come back in front (59th).
Kane decisive on the wire
A few minutes later, the captain of the France team released one of the best parades of his career to deflect a curling shot from GĂźndogan (66th) and the match got carried away.
A new goal from Kane was canceled for offside (73rd) thanks to the VAR.
Added time arrived with Tottenham still ahead.
But nothing was done: even less when Manchester City received a penalty (90th + 2) after a hand from Romero.
Mahrez appeared in front of Lloris and to hit in the top corner.
Two everywhere and there were still five minutes left.
The match was surely folded.
Well no: on a last center, Kulusevski, found Kane still in the six meters.
He did not hesitate to once again deceive the City defense which lost for the third time.
Thus offering the victory to Spurs, however dominated for a good part of the match, but who managed the feat of knocking Manchester down on their lawn.
With this first defeat in 16 days, City sees Liverpool come back dangerously: the Reds have only six points left in disbursements, with a game late to play Wednesday at home against Leeds.
