90 minutes of draw!Son Heung-min scored twice, Pep Guardiola drew three in a row, Manchester City 3:3 Tottenham
Manchester City have booked the top spot in the group after beating RB Leipzig in the Champions League in midweek, but Pep Guardiola's side have not won a single game in the last two Premier League games and have been overtaken by Arsenal in the table. In the 14th round of the Premier League, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur ushered in a head-to-head confrontation, and the two sides also staged a hearty goal battle;

Tottenham started the season unbeaten with nine wins and one draw to dominate the table, but a sudden injury caused them to fall abruptly, and after losing to Villa in the last round, Tottenham have suffered three consecutive defeats and slipped to sixth. However, Tottenham is one of the few bitter masters since Guardiola took charge of Manchester City, and in the past four seasons of the two sides in the league duel, Tottenham Hotspur has always beaten Manchester City, and even completed the double. Manchester City are still a good 3-2-4-1: Ederson returns to the starting line-up, Walker, Dias and Gvardiol are paired with the backline, Akanji is paired with Rodri in a double midfield, Doku, Foden, Alvarez and B form the attacking line, and Haaland plays as a lone arrow.
Tottenham's side changed the formation 4-2-3-1: but due to injury problems, the boss could only release a group of full-backs such as Poro, Udoki, Ben Davies and Emerson, Lo Celso and Bissouma as the back, Kulusevski as the front midfield, Brian Hill and Brennan Johnson on the wings, and Son Heung-min as a single arrow.
After the opening, Tottenham took the initiative to hand over the initiative and prepare for a defensive counterattack, and this move quickly achieved results; in the 6th minute, Manchester City's corner kick attack failed, Tottenham counterattacked on the spot, Kulusevski made a long pass in the backfield, Son Xingmin rushed to the penalty area in front of Doku and shot into the net at a small angle, 0:1! Tottenham took the lead with the main anti-away, Son Xingmin scored his ninth goal of the season, and he has scored 8 goals against Manchester City professionally.
3 minutes later, Alvarez took a set-piece to the penalty area, and Son Xingmin, who was actively defending the goal, stretched out his leg in front of the goal and accidentally blocked the ball into his own door, 1:1! Son Xingmin scored 2 goals in a row, and pulled the two sides back to the same running line with an alternative brace.
In the 12th minute, Manchester City's high pressure in front forced Emerson to break the ball, and the B seat knocked horizontally, and Haaland at the back point kicked a shot in the face of the empty goal! In the 23rd minute, Brennan Johnson stepped forward on the right side to respond to the long pass and used his speed to wipe Gvardiol's defense and knocked it down, Dias grabbed the bottom line before Son Xingmin; In the 27th minute, the ball in the back field of the B seat was unexpectedly broken, Hill's pass was hesitant and was cleared, and Son Xingmin, who had run out of the gap, directly spread his hands to express his dissatisfaction.
In the 29th minute, Foden advanced a direct pass, Alvarez passed to the left in the middle circle, Doku received the ball and started to get rid of the far corner of the shot and hit the post and popped up! Manchester City's offensive was like a tide, and the crisis in front of Tottenham's goal was never resolved, and the loss of the ball naturally followed; in the 31st minute, Haaland knocked on the top of the arc with his back to the side, Doku went straight to the plug, Tottenham failed to make an offside position, Alvarez stepped forward, Foden easily pushed and overtook the score, 2:1! Foden has also contributed 7 goals and 5 assists in statistics this season.
In the 34th minute, Tottenham made another mistake in the backfield, Alvarez fought alone in front of the Ben Davies defense, shook off the angle and shot into the far corner and hit the post! 1 minute later, Alvarez cut off Udoki's pass and knocked it horizontally, and the unmarked Haaland volleyed directly to the stands, Haaland was not in the wind in the first half, and the shots were outrageous. In the first half, Manchester City not only had a huge 66 per cent lead in possession, but also had 12-2 shots on goal, 11 times more than Tottenham, and if they hadn't wasted a few chances, the Blues would have had more than just one goal.
Only 30 seconds after coming back in the second half, Vicario's ball was broken again, but fortunately, he made up for it with one palm and lifted the long-range shot of the B seat off the crossbar;In the 53rd minute, Brennan Johnson once again exerted the impact of the wing, directly relying on his personal ability to force a strong low shot into the penalty area, Ederson was very focused and confiscated the ball steadily; then Manchester City took the initiative to slow down the pace and patiently look for opportunities, but this instead Tottenham seized one of the few opportunities, in the 69th minute, Tottenham made a steal in front, Son Xingmin crossed, Lo Celso got rid of Dias tackle and shook off the angle to shoot into the far corner, 2Lo Celso has only recently returned to Tottenham's squad, and he has confirmed that he is still capable of starting with two consecutive goals.
In the 71st minute, Lo Celso made a killing opportunity with a long-range shot on the periphery, but fortunately Grealish blocked the bottom line; In the 75th minute, Rodri stepped forward and then stepped forward, Rico Lewis, who had just come on as a substitute, inverted the triangle, and Rodri scrambled to miss the goal; Tottenham was able to equalize and perform tenaciously, but the drag out of the ball at the back still buried a hidden danger, and sure enough, in the 81st minute, Bissouma still did not play the ball in time under the surroundment, and was stealed by Rodri, Haaland received a straight plug and knocked on the middle, and Grealish pushed and shot again beyond the score, 3Grealish ended a goalless drought in 30 club matches.
However, the tenacious Tottenham did not intend to tie their hands, in the 90th minute, Son Heung-min hoisted the ball to the left, Brennan Johnson broke through the cross from the left, Kulusevski pressed Ake in front of the goal to equalize the score, 3:3! Kulusevski scored at the Etihad for three consecutive seasons, and Manchester City was equalised as soon as he relaxed.
I have to say that the last three games of this round of the Premier League are very exciting, Chelsea and Brighton have played 3:2, Liverpool beat Fulham at the last moment, and won 4:3 with difficulty;
