Match Gallery: Manchester City (A)

A late Christian Eriksen goal gave Spurs a vital win against title rivals Manchester City, as Pochettino’s side moved within two points of Leicester at the top of the table.

Tottenham found it difficult to get going in the first half, as Harry Kane was often left isolated up front as the likes of Dembele and Alli in midfield struggled to get a foothold in the game.

However, that all changed after half-time, as Harry Kane slotted home a penalty before Iheanacho equalized for the hosts. Christian Eriksen then popped up with the winner with less than 10 minutes to go after being played through on goal by Erik Lamela before Hugo Lloris pulled off a number of saves to ensure that Spurs held on.
