In the early morning of December 4, Beijing time, the 14th round of the English Premier League ushered in a strong dialogue, with Manchester City sitting at home to face Tottenham.
Background:
Tottenham, which was still competing with Manchester City at the beginning of the season, has had a bad year, with a large number of injuries + suspensions, making it difficult for Tottenham, which has insufficient squad depth, to play at the level it should be.
After a three-game losing streak, Tottenham have gone from being title contenders to teams that could soon fall out of the top six.
Manchester City beat Leipzig in the Champions League in midweek after qualifying, but in the league, Manchester City have been thrown four points away by leaders Arsenal after suffering two consecutive draws. Liverpool also won this round, and Manchester City temporarily fell to third place.
Contest Recap:
After the opening, the two teams went back and forth and played quite well. Son Heung-min became the protagonist on the field.
Just 6 minutes into the opening game, Son Heung-min scored with a long-distance run. Three minutes later, the Tottenham captain made another own goal and the two teams returned to the same running line.
The difference in strength between the two teams is still relatively obvious, and Manchester City's attack has overwhelmed Tottenham. In the 31st minute, Foden's goal gave Manchester City the lead.
City still had a chance to extend their lead, but Alvarez fired a shot at the post and Haaland was unmarked with an anti-aircraft gun. At half-time, Manchester City led 2-1 and had a 12-2 advantage on goal.
In the first 20 minutes of the second half, the scene was lethargic and Manchester City took the initiative to slow down. In the 69th minute, Tottenham suddenly made a strong effort and Lo Celso equalized.
In the 81st minute, Bissouma caused a big accident and conceded a goal, and Haaland assisted Grealish to score the winner. In the 90th minute, Kulu's header equalized.
In the end, Manchester City drew 3-3 at home to Tottenham, and after this game, Manchester City officially Liverpool, falling to third.
