Pep Guardiola will have been shellshocked to see his Manchester City side go into half-time 2-0 down against Tottenham Hotspur.

City enjoyed the better of the opening 45 minutes, with Erling Haaland and Rico Lewis both coming close to opening the scoring. But with just one minute before half-time to go, Dejan Kulusevski gave Spurs the lead after a horrible mistake by Ederson.

Guardiola’s side were dicing with death by inviting the Spurs press, and when Ederson’s pass found Rodri under pressure and in hot water, the midfielder could only divert the ball to Kulusevski. The Swedish international composed himself before stroking home in a nightmare moment for the City shot-stopper.
