The party organized this Saturday at the Etihad to celebrate Rodri's Ballon d'Or turned into a nightmare for Manchester City who suffered a fifth consecutive defeat. This time it was against Spurs.
Tottenham may have put an end to the hopes of Pep Guardiola's team of winning a new title of Champion of England, since by winning 4 to 0 in Manchester, the London team allowed Liverpool to take eight points from he advances to the top of the Premier League in the event of a victory for the Reds on Sunday at Southampton. Under the gaze of a stunned Pep Guardiola, and who probably hoped to better celebrate his contract extension, Erling Haaland and his team fell for the fourth time in a row in the Premier League, the fifth in all competitions. The Spurs goals were scored by Maddison (13th and 20th), Porro (53rd) and Johnson (90th + 3). Note that since Rodri was absent due to injury, Manchester City has only experienced defeats.
