Manchester City continue their title challenge and strike their revenge over Tottenham with a 1-0 victory in the Premier League.
The third meeting between these two sides in a space of 11 days resulted in a victory for the blue side of Manchester. City, who were tragically knocked out by Tottenham in the Champions League just 3 days ago, got their sweet revenge in the Premier League when the young promising Foden headed in the winner on 5 minutes. Tottenham generated a lot of chances in the game and should’ve scored if it wasn’t for goalkeeping heroics by City keeper Ederson. City held on for the victory, keeping in touch with Liverpool at the top of the table.

After the game, Mauricio Pochettino spoke to the press discussing his thoughts on the defeat for his side. "I'm not frustrated with the result - that's football. It was an even game and we deserved more, at least a draw. I'm so happy with the performance in very difficult circumstances. We competed really well, and we had the clearer opportunities. Just because you deserve it, doesn't mean you always get it."
Pochettino opposite, Guardiola also spoke after the game stating how important it was for his team not to slip up in the title race with Liverpool. "It's an important win in the race for the Premier League. If we drop point, we cannot fight until the end. It was tight, Spurs had more chances than the previous two games, but the effort the players had after a tough day on Wednesday was incredible."
What’s next?
After 2 consecutive games against Tottenham, City’s next fixture doesn’t get much easier, with a trip to neighbours Manchester United at Old Trafford. Tottenham on the other hand face Brighton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
