As it happened: Manchester City 3-0 Tottenham Hotspur in Premier League

That’s it for VAVEL UK’s live text commentary on this Premier League match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur — we hope you enjoyed it!

 

 

I've been Khya Gott. Thank-You!

Manchester City face a trip to Goodison Park midweek. 

 

Tottenham travel to high-flying West Ham next weekend.

Manchester City win their 16th game in a row and a comfortable win at that. With the win today, they have equalled the English top-flight record for most wins since the start of the year. 

 

Tottenham have lost their fifth game in six with the loss today. What has happened to them since the start of the season when they were flying.

 

Even without their 120 minutes midweek, the team were second best to every single piece of action tonight. Lloris with another set of mistakes isn't what the French captain need.

 

Man City are flying and on course to win the league after the victory today, but what is next for Tottenham and Jose Mourinho.

FULL TIME | We've now equalled the English top-flight record for most wins since the start of a calendar year with our 9th victory in 2021! 💙

The hosts are without Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Aguero, Ake and Aguero. But, Ruben Dias and Rodri are expected to play apart of the game despite slight concerns over their fitness at the start of the week.

 

Tottenham are expected to without Lo Celso and Reguilon. Bale and Aurier missed out midweek against Everton so remain doubtful.

In the league, Tottenham haven't lost to Manchester City since 20 April 2019 when Phil Foden scored early on to secure the win for the hosts. Spurs have scored two goals in each of their last three games against City.

Manchester City are sky rocketing this season and breaking records left right and centre. During the week City broke the record with their 15th consecutive win in a row even without their star men Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne. 

 

Tottenham Hotspur on the other hand are struggling for form at the minute. Despite winning their last game in the league against West Brom, Mourinho's men have lost four of their last five games in all competitions.

 

City had the better of the midweek FA Cup games too, beating Swansea to head to the quarter finals. Spurs played 120 minutes and lost to Everton after extra time.

 

Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur will be played at the Etihad Stadium, in Manchester, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 17:30 BST.
