Man City’s Title Hopes Dented as They Draw 3-3 with Tottenham
Manchester City suffered a surprising setback in the Premier League title race as they were held to a 3-3 draw by an injury-ravaged Tottenham side. Meanwhile, Liverpool secured a dramatic victory over Fulham earlier in the day.
A Late Equalizer Deals Blow to Man City
Despite facing a Tottenham team missing nine senior players due to injury, Pep Guardiola’s side conceded a late goal in the 90th minute, resulting in a disappointing draw. Son Hueng-min opened the scoring for Tottenham, but an own goal leveled the score. Phil Foden then put City ahead before Giovani Lo Celso equalized. Jack Grealish seemed to have sealed the win for City, but Dejan Kulusevski scored in the final minute to salvage a point for Tottenham.
City’s Title Defense Struggles
This draw marks the fifth time Manchester City has dropped points in this season’s Premier League, leaving them one point behind Liverpool in third place. Liverpool’s win against Fulham puts them just two points behind league leaders Arsenal.
Trouble for City
This is the first time since 2017 that Manchester City has failed to win in three consecutive Premier League games. Additionally, Erling Haaland’s post-match behavior, where he appeared to verbally abuse the referee, could land him in further trouble. City’s next match is against fourth-placed Aston Villa, but they will be without the suspended Grealish and Rodri.
