Manchester City Vs Tottenham Hotspur Highlights, Premier League: MCI 0-2 TOT; Guardiola's Men Given Reality Check

And that's that. After four minutes of injury time, the referee rings the final whistle and Manchester City are beaten 0-2 by an imperious Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium. It's a statement victory for Thomas Frank's side, who hardly gave City a look in.

The minutes are ticking by and a defeat is looking increasingly certain for Manchester City. Tottenham have controlled the game nicely and Guardiola's men have not looked like finding their opener, let alone equalising.

Manchester City defender Abdukodir Khusanov is part of Uzbekistan's squad for the upcoming CAFA Nations Cup. Khusanov will thus be released by Man City for the tournament, which will be held from August 30 to September 8.

Tottenham are on the charge again. Pedro Porro sets one up for Richarlison, who fails to finish, in the 56th minute. Brennan Johnson then goes for glory in the 58th but shoots way over the bar. Man City under serious trouble now.

The teams are back from the mid-game interval and the second half kicks off. Spurs now kicking from left to right and Man City from right to left. The hosts intrude Tottenham's box early but are unable to find a clear sighter of the goal. This defensive structure has held the tourists in good stead so far.

The seven minutes of added time elapse, and Spurs go into the lemon break in command. City have themselves to blame for their position, especially for that second goal that Trafford would really be embarrassed about right now. Will the hosts bounce back? Find out on the other side.

And another one! Tottenham are rampant at the Etihad as Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford makes a mess off a defensive pass and Richarlison is on the prowl. Joao Palhinha takes hold of the ball and his deflected shot goes in. Spurs two to the good in the second minute of stoppage time.

Tottenham take the lead as VAR comes to their rescue! Brennan Johnson finds the back of the net in the 36th minute but the offside flag goes up straight away. A VAR check is employed and the decision is overturned to send Spurs into raptures.

Rayan Ait-Nouri goes down and takes treatment. He eventually gets back up and resumes play, but the injury is too severe for him to continue and Nathan Ake comes on for him in the 23rd minute. Early blow for Pep Guardiola's men.

The visiting Tottenham supporters are making their views heard with regards to chairman Daniel Levy, chanting "We want Levy out" loudly. Meanwhile, Spurs earn a free-kick in a really promising position but Pedro Porro slams it into City's defensive wall in the ninth minute.

We are underway at the Etihad Stadium. Man City attacking from left to right and Tottenham from right to left in the first half. It's a pleasant day in Manchester, and the fans are rooting for a cracker of a match.

Referee Peter Bankes, flanked by his assistants, stands ready as the Manchester City and Tottenham players line up in the tunnel. A packed Etihad Stadium buzzes with anticipation for this mouth-watering lunchtime kickoff, with the atmosphere reaching fever pitch as the players emerge to the sound of Hey Jude echoing around the ground.

The last encounter between Manchester City and Tottenham came in February at the North London, where City edged out a 1-0 victory. Erling Haaland proved the difference-maker, striking in the 12th minute to secure all three points for Pep Guardiola’s side in a tightly contested clash.
