Tottenham endured a disastrous afternoon in the Premier League this Sunday, suffering a humiliating defeat on Manchester City’s turf. The Citizens displayed dominance by scoring 6 goals without conceding, handing the London club a historic setback that is sure to impact their standing in the league.
The match kicked off with an early blow for Spurs, as Jesus Navas capitalized on a poor recovery from Hugo Lloris to open the scoring just 14 seconds into the game. Manchester City capitalized on another defensive error, with Sandro scoring an own goal, furthering the misery for the French goalkeeper. Sergio Aguero added to Tottenham’s woes by making it 3-0 just before halftime.
Emmanuel Adebayor made his season debut after starting on the bench, but his presence couldn’t stem City’s relentless attack. Yaya Touré orchestrated a brilliant play, setting up Aguero for the fourth goal. The onslaught continued with Negredo (55th minute) and Navas securing his brace.
The magnitude of the defeat is underscored by the fact that this marks only the 10th time in Tottenham’s entire history that they’ve lost a league game by a margin of 6 or more goals, making it a truly thumping and unprecedented result.
