Manchester City 2-3 Tottenham: Premier League – live reaction!
LIVE – Updated at 20:08
Minute-by-minute report: The leaders thought they’d salvaged a point with an injury-time penalty, but Harry Kane injected some life back into the title race with a late, late winner. Scott Murray was watching.
Pep Guardiola speaks to Sky. “It was a good game. It was difficult, they defend so deep and so narrow, and they have a lot of quality. We tried many things. They had good counter attacks. They are really good up front. We always had the feeling they were dangerous, we knew their style. The problem was they had five at the back, six at the back, and with the quality they have, it is not easy. It’s always difficult. Brentford was like this. It is difficult. But we had the chances. Unfortunately we could not score them. They were clinical, and the crosses we could not defend. We had the momentum, but Joao loses the ball, Kyle lost the ball when he was alone, they had a few passes, they arrived at the byline and we defended badly at the back post. People say it cannot happen, but football can happen! It happens. I don’t need to lose a game to know it is difficult to win the Premier League. There are many, many games to play and people will drop points. We have a long week, we’re going to enjoy the Champions League at home and train for our next game.”
We’re yet to hear from the managers. The views of Guardiola and Conte coming up soon, so don’t close us down yet. In the meantime, why not crack open another tab and peruse David Hytner’s match report for the Observer?
