Man City vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result and final score as late Dejan Kulusevski goal stuns hosts

Manchester City 3-3 Tottenham: Spurs end losing run as Kulusevski’s header frustrates Premier League champions in six-goal thriller

I enjoy Ange approach to football - Guardiola

Dejan Kulusevski’s 90th minute header rescued Tottenham a point at the Etihad and ended a run of three Premier League defeats in a row as Spurs claimed a thrilling 3-3 draw against Manchester City.

Kulusevski’s towering leap denied City victory in a breathless contest, which means Pep Guardiola’s champions have now dropped points in three consecutive games following draws against Chelsea and Liverpool.

Injury-hit Spurs took the lead when Son Heung-min finished off a clinical counter-attack, but the Tottenham captain then found the net at the other end two minutes later as he diverted a free-kick into his own goal.

Ange Postecoglou’s side stuck to their bold and attacking plan despite their injury crisis and City could have been out of sight as they routinely tore the visitors apart, with Phil Foden putting them in front after the half hour.

City were wasteful, however, with Erling Haaland missing an open goal and Jeremy Doku and Julian Alvaraz striking the post, and Spurs grabbed a deserved equaliser in the second half when Giovani Lo Celso curled in.

City woke themselves up in the final stages and Jack Grealish punished a loose pass from Tottenham’s Yves Bissouma to restore their lead, before Kulusevski’s dramatic header settled the contest in injury time.

GOAL! Man City 2-1 Tottenham (Foden, 31 mins)

City are ahead as Foden slams home from close range. Doku finds Alvarez inside the box, who turns nicely before laying it off to Foden. It’s too easy for the City attacker who has all the time in the world - just yards out from goal - to slam home past Vicario.
