Goals:

Harry Kane entered in the 15th minute.

Pep Guardiola's team controlled the opening exchanges, controlling 84% of the ball for the first ten minutes, but they lacked a cutting edge the entire time and contributed to Tottenham's goal.Rodri chose clumsily to play a pass toward Rico Lewis as Spurs successfully pressured City toward their own box. To give Kane an opportunity he was never going to miss, Hojbjerg intervened.The rest of the first half was a tale of City controlling the ball well but appearing exposed in transitions, particularly down their left flank where Nathan Ake and unusual backup defender Jack Grealish were frequently called upon to play.When Mahrez received Grealish's cross at the back post in stoppage time, the defending champions were nearly level. The Algerian winger crashed into the bar after scoring two against Spurs last month.Following the interval, the same trend continued, with City carrying a bigger threat after the introduction of Kevin De Bruyne off the bench, but Spurs in turn looked more and more dangerous on the break.Twenty minutes from time, Kane flung himself at a low Ivan Perisic cross and was inches from scoring his second goal. Ederson came out quickly to stop the England captain.In the last moments, City persisted in pressing, with Grealish prominent. Spurs rightfully held out despite Cristian Romero receiving a second caution for pulling down the England international late in the game.

Will Harry Kane set a new scoring mark in the Premier League?

Kane's record-breaking performance for Tottenham against the team he attempted to leave them for in 2021 was probably expected. He is currently the third player in history to score a double century in the Premier League, trailing only Wayne Rooney (208) and Alan Shearer (260) in terms of goals.Kane demonstrated why Pep Guardiola desired to recruit him with his skill of establishing play and his decisive, precise finish. Erling Haaland still has an eight-point lead over Kane in the battle for the Golden Boot, but it was obvious from the Norwegian star's patchy City performance which player was a tactical work-in-progress and which was a master of all he surveyed in a location he must be pleased to still call home.

Premier League highlights from Tottenham vs. Man City

• At the end of the game, City hesitates and struggles to put a quality ball into the box, as they have all day. On Harry Kane's historic day, Spurs win the game. At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tottenham has already played five games, dropped five, and failed to score. It's difficult to think of a Spurs victory that Arsenal supporters would have relished more. It feels like you are seated at the head of the table. Thank you for coming!
• Hugo Lloris flings himself at another cross in the 93rd minute plus three and tangles with Rodri. Nothing is done despite the city's request for a fine. Guardiola's team has made a few rather frantic calls for penalties today.
• Hugo Lloris begins the first minute and a half of stoppage time with a strong take on a cross, to the excitement of the home crowd.
• Tottenham will be pleased with the lengthy delay they were able to create there in the 89th minute. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is struck in the head by Kevin De Bruyne's blow through the wall. The midfielder collapses, and a concussion test will be performed.
• 87th minute: Cristian Romero gets dismissed!
• Jack Grealish gets knocked down for the nth time today. Recall the unnecessary caution Romero received in the opening period? He must leave, and Spurs will need to finish with 10 players. Dejan Kulusevski's replacement, Davinson Sanchez, is getting ready to take over.
• Yves Bisouma and Ilkay Gundogan came on for their respective sides in the 85th minute.
• Rico Lewis makes a good save in the 83rd minute to deny Dejan Kulusevski at the near post. Spurs want to give a penalty for a handball, but Ederson is protesting so vehemently that he ends up getting himself booked.
• Nathan Ake's injury causes play to stop in the 80th minute. City has ten minutes to capitalise on Arsenal's yesterday error in order to avoid failing. Who else may potentially make a difference from the sidelines? This season, Ilkay Gundogan's ability to score goals has failed him. Being sick and out of commission for Phil Foden seems like a great loss.
• In the 78th minute, Jack Grealish propels City forward once again. He enters the Tottenham box, but Emerson Royal mounts a great last-ditch defence. Ryan Sessegnon replaces Ivan Perisic, who is being ejected.
• Spurs make a burst from a City corner in the 77th minute. Son Heung-deflected min's shot is saved by Ederson diving to his right. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who works tirelessly, misses the target after Harry Kane recovers the loose ball.
• Ivan Perisic fouled Bernardo Silva in the 75th minute, earning him a booking. Penny for your ideas, Jack Grealish.
• In the 74th minute, Rodri tries to direct a Kevin De Bruyne corner toward goal but is too pressured and fails.
• 70th minute: Kane once again! He shoves past Akanji, but Ederson brilliantly gets out to stop him. If the guys in front of the Manchester City goalie can regain their composure, that might be a massive save from him. Grealish has taken his most recent free kick and is up at the other end.
• It's a shot every minute as of the 69th minute. Harry Kane receives a ball that Rodrigo Bentancur slides to him, but his 25-yard shot misses to the right.
• In the 68th minute, Julian Alvarez receives a pass from Kevin De Bruyne and fires another beautiful shot that barely misses the goal.
• 67th minute: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg rushes forward once more, giving Spurs another chance to counterattack. He beautifully lobs the ball into the net, but he is offside.
• 66th minute: Spurs have greater chances to score on the break when City attacks in this way. They are all over this one, but Harry Kane is just past Ivan Perisic's low cross
• More small commotion in the Spiros box in the 65th minute. It's likely that the city wanted Manuel Akanji to fail. De Bruyne receives the ball and shoots wide.
• The Spurs get bodies in the way to divert the ball behind them in the 64th minute after De Bruyne passes to Julian Alvarez, who meets the ball beautifully.
• Emerson Royal bumps into Jack Grealish in the 63rd minute as he returns to his regular duties. On the left byline, Kevin De Bruyne is entitled to a free kick.
• In the 62nd minute, Kevin De Bruyne sees Erling Haaland's throughball for the first time. Though not a poor attempt, Eric Dier ends it. Now that Tottenham is making a break, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is once more prominently positioned. Nathan Ake returns to make a crucial move.
• Eric Dier knocks Kevin De Bruyne into the ground in the 60th minute, giving up a free kick. Once more, the city makes absolutely no use of it.
• 59th minute: Hmm, that caught me off guard a little. Kevin De Bruyne will take Riyad Mahrez's place, and Bernardo Silva will go to the right flank. Pep Guardiola could feel that he can't afford to lose Silva or Julian Alvarez's hustle off the ball since Spurs are already looking so threatening in transition.
• In the 57th minute, Kevin De Bruyne is approaching.
• Spurs have a chance to lessen the strain in the 56th minute. Rico Lewis gets sized up by Dejan Kulusevski. Despite the Tottenham corner, the teenager maintains his position. Ivan Perisic's outswinging delivery is headed over by Ben Davies as he sprints to the near post.
• In the 54th minute, Rico Lewis' cross beats Haaland and goes in for another goal. Spurs are being pushed back by City, but Kevin De Bruyne will eventually come into play because of the last ball's lack of quality.
• In the 53rd minute, Julian Alvarez receives the ball and quickly sprints it out of bounds.
• Jack Grealish attempts to revive City in the 52nd minute. He gains a corner, and he and Emerson Royal exchange pleasantries.
• In the 50th minute, Grealish begins one of his signature dribbles and earns a risky free kick. Once it has been cleared, Bernardo Silva picks up the next ball, and Rico Lewis collides with the official. Eventually, Kyle Walker pushes it back into the penalty area, but Grealish is unable to handle it, giving Spurs a goalkick.
• 47th minute: City has entered what is perhaps their best period of the whole campaign. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg must be tackled by Manuel Akanji, who must sprint back. After that, Harry Kane astonishingly attempts a left-footed air shot at a volley.
• 46th minute: Play resumes, as Kyle Walker makes a sliding challenge to keep Harry Kane from getting in on goal after receiving a ball from Son Heung-min.
• Riyad Mahrez nearly brought City to a tie at the break, and given how the game went overall, they could have earned it. However, since Harry Kane's record-breaking opening, Pep Guardiola's team has been vulnerable. City are well below their best, not for the first time since the World Cup break. Spurs have put in a tremendous amount of effort up to this point, and if the score stays 1-0, weariness may play a role later. The following objective is a significant one.
• 45 minutes and one second: Mahrez scores!
• The City are agonisingly close to levelling in the first of two minutes of stoppage time. Mahrez received Jack Grealish's cross at the back post. He outran Cristian Romero and Hugo Lloris for the ball, but it deflected against the bar and fell to safety.
• 44th minute: After a corner, there is a scramble in the City box!
• Kane is unable to flee before Nathan Ake stops Eric Dier, and Pep Guardiola must give Nathan Ake credit for keeping his team from falling further down.
• Haaland receives the ball in the 42nd minute, 30 yards from goal. While contemplating the attempt, he selflessly passes the ball to Jack Grealish, who is unable to sufficiently curl his shot back to challenge the far post.
• while stretching his legs through midfield. Son Heung-min returns to engage him in combat. Once more, City attacks, and Alvarez passes the ball to the Spain midfielder, who then takes a shot that Hugo Lloris saves. The busiest defender for City is Jack Grealish, while Rodri is now their most visible forward. This is wildly inconsistent.
• Harry Kane is struck by Manuel Akanji on the halfway line in the 37th minute. He manages to catch the ball precisely, which was fortunate because City was once more greatly exposed.
• In the 36th minute, play has resumed. Maybe Grealish will wait until halftime to see how he performs.
• 34th minute: Jack Grealish is down on the field receiving extended treatment, adding to City's afternoon's building woes. His hip might be bothering him. Erling Haaland picked up some instructions from the City bench during the interval.
• In the 30th minute, Manuel Akanji assists in the clean-up while Nathan Ake once more blocks Dejan Kulusevski's effort. Then Rodri simply leaves. The Premier League champions are experiencing back-to-back victories.
• The city is somewhat shaking in the 29th minute. Ivan Perisic, who appears on the right, receives a pass from Dejan Kulusevski that Nathan Ake deftly reads. Spurs were nearly reinstated.
• Maybe Jack Grealish wants to be Manchester City's new left-back in the 28th minute? The England player tackles Emerson Royal from his own byline once more, giving up a corner. At the back post, Grealish goes on to win the defensive header. While Pep Guardiola will likely admire his effort, it wasn't exactly the intention for the playmaker to play so much defence.
• In the 26th minute, Cristian Romero could be kicking himself since Spurs are so fired up. Erling Haaland was struck in the back as he charged into the City half, earning him a booking. Keep your yellow cards for when Haaland gets closer to the goal.
• In the 24th minute, Rico Lewis is the victim of a strong foul by Rodrigo Bentancur. Jack Grealish must charge back after Riyad Mahrez wastes the free kick in order to take down Dejan Kulusevski. City is susceptible to a counterattack for the second time at this stadium.
• 19th minute: After falling behind, City is back in possession of the ball. With a darting dribble, Bernardo Silva attempts to pick up the tempo, but Hugo Lloris is able to comfortably stop his low shot.
• 15th second: GOOOAAAALLL! Harry Kane, please
• Even if it goes against the flow of the game, Tottenham's record-breaker won't mind. Rodri made a terrible mistake as he passed Rico Lewis just short of the City box. After sneaking in, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg set up Kane for a shot he was never going to miss. With 200 goals in the Premier League and 267 overall for Tottenham, he surpasses Jimmy Greaves for the most goals scored in a single season.
• Kyle Walker joins the City assault in the 13th minute and whips a beautiful cross into the back post. Emerson Royal courageously advances first, is struck in the ribs by Jack Grealish, and is awarded a free kick as a result.
• 10th minute: City has dominated the first half with 84% possession thanks in large part to Rico Lewis' active play as a midfielder. Mind you, Hugo Lloris is still without a save.
• In the ninth minute, Son Heung-min rejoins the game and doubles up Riyad Mahrez. Ivan Perisic will be appreciative of the help given in light of the events in Manchester.
• Bernardo Silva secures another City corner in the sixth minute. After it has been partially cleared, Julian Alvarez launches a blocked volley from the edge of the box. Next, the Argentina forward commits an incredibly cynical foul to stop Son Heung-min from responding but goes unpunished.
• 5th minute: Riyad Mahrez cuts inside to shoot, but Rodrigo Bentancur deflects his attempt behind after he caused so much havoc in their previous meeting. Nathan Ake missed a clear opportunity to score as he nodded back into the goalmouth after receiving a free header from a corner.
• First minute: Son Heung-min launches an early driving run towards the centre of the City defence after scoring twice against Preston in the FA Cup. To eliminate the threat, Nathan Ake and Rodri work together.
• Four minutes before kickoff, the teams arrive. For this crucial confrontation, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland were laughing and joking with one another.
• Ten minutes before start, Manchester City's defensive warm-up drills indicate that a back four consisting of Walker, Akanji, Ake, and Lewis will likely be used. With Rico Lewis burrowing into the middle between Rodri and Bernardo Silva, that is almost certainly going to alter while the team is in possession.
• Cristian Stellini, Spurs' assistant coach, recently spoke with  taking over today in Antonio Conte's absence: "Antonio is healing at home and is doing well." He was part in the planning until this morning, but we do not have special communication. "We have not received word from the doctor to allow Antonio be here with us.
• 30 minutes before the game: This game may be won or lost in the Tottenham left and City right, respectively. The City are in transition on the defensive side. Will Son Heung-min and Ivan Perisic pose a danger, and if so, will it be Kyle Walker or a combination of the England international and Rico Lewis? After Riyad Mahrez put on a magnificent performance at his cost when the teams played last month, Croatian star Perisic will also be anticipating issues going the other way.
• 50 minutes before kickoff: It's a little bit simpler to figure out the Tottenham team. It will be the traditional Antonio Conte 3-4-3 while the manager heals at home. Emerson Royal is still the right wingback, and Richarlison and newcomer Pedro Porro are the substitutes.
• One hour before kickoff: The teams have arrived, and City's news right now is that Kevin De Bruyne is only in the substitutes' lineup. In addition to Rico Lewis, a young fullback, Julian Alvarez makes his debut. He may start on the left or right side of the backline, depending on the situation. Phil Foden has resumed training, but he is not physically prepared to join the team.
• Harry Kane, who shares the all-time scoring lead with Jimmy Greaves at Tottenham with 266 goals and has 199 goals in the Premier League altogether, may have a historic day one hour and 20 minutes from kickoff. Pep Guardiola, who praised Kane as "one of the finest attackers I have seen in my life" during the build-up to this game, is one of the England captain's biggest supporters. Of course, Erling Haaland wouldn't be threatening to break any Manchester goalscoring records right now if Guardiola had had his way and signed Kane before the 2021/22 season. The Norwegian superstar scored all three goals in his previous Premier League appearance, giving him four for the year.
• With 40 minutes left till kickoff, Arsenal will lose to a team in danger of relegation. In the fight for the Premier League championship, Arsenal provided Manchester City with a chance they may not have anticipated. Pep Guardiola, though, may choose any other game if he needed to gain ground. Since the stadium's opening in 2019, City has made four trips there, during which time they have "played four, lost four, and scored none." Additionally, they added a few missed penalties to the mix. Guardiola has only ever defeated Spurs away from home in two games while they were Wembley tenants in 2018. In October 2016, Tottenham defeated him for the first time in English football during their final season at the previous White Hart Lane.
