Manchester City 4-2 Tottenham LIVE! Premier League result, match stream, latest reaction and updates today

Manchester City vs Tottenham - LIVE!

Manchester City avoided another slip-up in the title race as they came from two goals down to beat Tottenham 4-2 at the Etihad. Goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Emerson Royal just before the break had put Spurs in complete control, the visitors on course to leave Arsenal eight points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand.

But Pep Guardiola emerged after half-time to produce the kind of peformance that has evaded them in recent games. Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland scored twice in as many minutes to level things up, before Riyad Mahrez fired the hosts in front just after the hour mark to complete a remarkable turnaround.

Spurs hit the post through Ivan Perisic but could not find an equaliser, and Mahrez netted his second of the match late on to put it to bed. Tottenham have only won once in the League since the World Cup.
