Harry Kane scores twice to stun Manchester City and add new twist to title race

Harry Kane blew the Premier League title race wide open after his stoppage time handed Manchester City a dramatic 3-2 defeat at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Kane was City's prime target to replace club record goalscorer Sergio Aguero. City's failed pursuit of Kane came back to haunt them as the England captain scored twice to secure Tottenham victory.

Kane had put Tottenham 2-1 ahead in the 59th minute before Cristian Romero's handball allowed Riyad Mahrez to equalise for the league leaders from the penalty spot in the 92nd minute.

City looked favourites to eke out a late victory, but Kane struck again to clinch a league double for Tottenham over City, having beaten them on the opening weekend.

City's defeat, only their third in the league this season, means they are now only six points ahead of Liverpool who also have a game in hand.

"We had to find a way to get our season back on track," Kane said. "Tough place to come against one of the best teams in the world but to grind out the result we did was really special."

Spurs snatched the lead in the fourth minute when Dejan Kulusevski marked his first start with a cool finish after Kane and Son Heung-min carved open the City defence.

City equalised in the 33rd minute thanks to the latest mistake from Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris, who spilled Raheem Sterling's cross for Ilkay Gundogan to convert.

Antonio Conte's team went ahead after 59 minutes when England captain Kane timed his run perfectly to finish Son's cross.

City looked to have got out of jail through Mahrez's 90th minute penalty. But Kane struck again with a header from Kulusevski's cross deep into stoppage-time, handing City their first defeat in 16 league games dating back to a 2-0 home loss against Crystal
