Manchester City’s Troubles Deepen with a 0-4 Loss to Spurs
Manchester City suffered a staggering 0-4 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium, marking a concerning streak of five consecutive losses under Pep Guardiola for the first time. This result also ended City’s impressive 52-match unbeaten home record. James Maddison scored two early goals, celebrating his birthday, as Spurs dismantled City with further goals from Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson. Despite 23 shots, City's inability to score and defensive vulnerabilities have been criticised by pundits, with Guardiola admitting a dip in form. Spurs have ascended to sixth place, increasing pressure on City, who remain second.
