Manchester City’s Troubles Deepen with a 0-4 Loss to Spurs
Manchester City suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium, marking their fifth consecutive loss in all competitions for the first time under manager Pep Guardiola. This defeat also ended City’s remarkable 52-match unbeaten home run, a record that dates back to before the 2022 World Cup.
James Maddison was the star of the match, scoring two goals within the opening 20 minutes, celebrating his 28th birthday in style. Dejan Kulusevski’s cross set up Maddison’s first goal in the 13th minute, followed by a delicate lob over Ederson for his second. Pedro Porro added a third for Spurs shortly after the break, driving home from a Dominic Solanke assist. Brennan Johnson completed the rout with a late goal in added time.
Despite City having 23 shots, they struggled to find the back of the net, with notable misses from star striker Erling Haaland. Guardiola expressed concern over his team’s defensive fragility and inability to capitalise on chances, acknowledging that they are experiencing a dip in form that he has never encountered before in his managerial career.
Following the defeat, Tottenham climbed to sixth in the Premier League standings, while City remained in second, five points behind leaders Liverpool, who could extend their lead with a win against Southampton. Guardiola’s side faces an uphill battle, with a crucial next match against Liverpool on the horizon, intensifying the pressure on the champions.
The defeat has sparked widespread criticism of City’s form, with pundits suggesting that the team looks disjointed and lacking confidence. Guardiola, however, remains committed to the club following his recent two-year contract extension, indicating that he believes in his squad’s ability to turn things around.
