Manchester City’s struggles under Pep Guardiola hit a new low as Tottenham Hotspur handed them a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium.
Spurs’ James Maddison was the star of the show, scoring a quick-fire double in the 13th and 20th minutes of the first half, leaving City shell-shocked.
Despite numerous attempts to mount a comeback, City’s attack faltered with missed chances and lackluster finishing.
Pedro Porro added to City’s misery early in the second half with a 52nd-minute strike, taking advantage of City’s defensive frailties.
Brennan Johnson sealed the rout in stoppage time, scoring in the 90+3 minute to complete the demolition.
This marks the second defeat City have suffered to Tottenham this season.
The first came in the EFL Cup, where Spurs claimed a 2-1 victory at home.
The latest setback extends City’s winless streak to five games across all competitions, raising serious questions about Guardiola’s tactics and the team’s form.
Despite the defeat City are still second on the EPL table, as pressure mounts on Guardiola to turn things around before the season spirals further out of control.
Spurs, on the other hand, continue to shine under their new management, displaying the kind of clinical edge that has eluded City in recent weeks.
