Twenty minutes after the own goal, Phil Foden gave Manchester City the lead which made the game unreachable for the visitors. The first half ended that way sending panic to the camp of Spurs.

In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur fought back heavily and their fight paid off when Giovani Lo Celso brought them back into the game in the 69th minute.

Coach Pep Guardiola and his boys refused to back down as they grabbed the driver’s seat again in the 81st minute courtesy of a strike from Jack Grealish.

While Son Heung-min was busy contemplating how to handle a night in which his own goal cost his team the match, Dejan Kulusevski who provided an assist for the match opener, came to the rescue of the South Korean by scoring the equalizer in the 90th minute.
