Manchester City entertained Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium earlier this evening as they hoped to earn maximum points at home. The Mancunian club made a slow start to the game as they conceded the opener in the sixth minute when Heung-min Son found the back of the net. However, Man City equalised just three minutes later when Son scored an unfortunate own goal. Phil Foden gave his team the lead in the 31st minute as Pep Guardiola‘s men went into the half-time break 2-1 up on the scoreline.
Giovani Lo Celso equalised for Spurs in the 69th minute. Jack Grealish came off the bench and gave Man City the lead in the 81st minute. However, Dejan Kulusevski equalised for the North London club in the 90th minute. The contest ended with Man City being held to a lackluster 3-3 draw at the Etihad.
