Tottenham vs Man City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction tonight
The reigning Premier League champions face Antonio Conte’s inconsistent Spurs side
This young stadium enjoys a special moment, as Pep Guardiola endures yet another bad evening here. The Manchester City manager could only watch as his side failed to do what Harry Kane has now made historic virtue out of.
The Tottenham Hotspur legend has now become their leading goalscorer, going one better than the great Jimmy Greaves with his 267th goal for the club. It proved the only goal of an invigorating 1-0 win over the champions, as they still haven’t scored at the Spurs stadium since it was built in 2019.
That was this time without the recovering Antonio Conte present in the ground, as Guardiola’s problems only mounted. His side failed to take the chance to go within two points of Arsenal after the leaders’ loss at Everton on Saturday and that, most aggravatingly for the City manager, after his side barely mustered a chance at all.

History-making Harry Kane steals the show to leave Man City trailing
Tottenham 1-0 Man City: Kane broke Spurs’ all-time scoring record and dented City’s title hopes
Spurs 1-0 Man City
Very little goal threat from City today - and not a single touch in the penalty box for Erling Haaland. Problems for Guardiola to solve.
Spurs 1-0 Man City
Another game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the reigning Premier League champions...and another defeat.
Spurs 1-0 Man City
City still five off Arsenal at the top - and it could be eight if the Gunners win their game in hand.
Harry Kane speaks after record goal for Spurs
Harry Kane has been speaking at full time on netting his record goal for Spurs - and his 200th in the Premier League.
“It’s hard to put into words. I was desperate to do it with a win as well. To do it in front of the home fans, a moment I’ll never forget.
“There’s been so much talk about it over the last couple of weeks and I just wanted to do it as soon as possible. To do it against one of the best teams in the world is a very special feeling.
“When I started regularly eight or nine years ago this wasn’t in my dreams then. Hopefully a few more to come.”
Full time! Spurs 1-0 Man City
Walker booked for a foul right at the end and it’s all over!
Guardiola frustrated, Grealish raging, City beaten. They miss the chance to close the gap on Arsenal and Spurs instead go just one point off Newcastle, who are fourth.
A fine win for Spurs without Conte on the sidelines.
90+2’ - Spurs 1-0 Man City
Great ball in from Grealish to the far post and Rodri seems to get there first - Lloris clatters him in the air just after. City want a penalty, Spurs want a free-kick, looks like the ref is ignoring everything.
Goal kick will be given and Rodri needs attention.
89’ - Spurs 1-0 Man City
Into stoppage time we go. Hojbjerg is off the pitch getting treatment. Five minutes added on - that’s how long City have from now.
86’ - Spurs 1-0 Man City
Red card! Romero trips Grealish who is fuming at another foul on him, but it’s a second yellow for the Argentinian defender and he’s off.
De Bruyne fizzes the free-kick into the wall and Hojbjerg blocks it, then goes down holding his head.
82’ - Spurs 1-0 Man City
Ederson booked for wild protestations - Sessegnon’s cross is cleared behind by Lewis, who is tripped by Kulusevski in the process. No foul given, corner to Spurs.
The set piece is half-cleared, then Son handles - that’s his last action of the game as he’s replaced by Bissouma.
Bernardo Silva replaced by Gundogan for City.
