Tottenham Hotspur have just grabbed the most remarkable of Premier League victories at Manchester City.
Spurs came at the Etihad Stadium in a terrible run, having lost 3 matches in a row.
However, Antonio Conte's team were in dreamland just 4 minutes, as Harry Kane delivered Son Heung-min into the Blues half with a backward pass.
Son darted into the area, drawing Ederson out of his net, prior passing the ball to Dejan Kulusevski, who touched home.

Manchester City surged into the game and dominated it, with Ilkay Gundogan scoring in the 33rd minute.
Hugo Lloris made a save under pressure from Kevin De Bruyne after Raheem Sterling fizzed a pass into the area.
It was bounced to Gundogan, who slammed home his 5th league goal of the season.
City controlled after break but fell behind once more thanks to Kane, who was connected with a transfer to Manchester last summer.

Son took on the role of creator once more, whipping in a superb cross for Kane, who blasted home with power for the first time.
It surprised the home fans, and Harry managed to put the ball in the back of the net once more, but that was called to be offside.
City pressed for a 2nd equaliser, which arrived in extra time after Cristian Romero was called for handling in the penalty box.
Man City looked for a winner as Riyad Mahrez went up and hammered his spot kick into the top corner.

Instead, Kane scored his second goal of the game in dramatic way in the 95th minute.
Spurs have now beaten City twice this season, moving them up to eighth in the table.
City's lead over Liverpool at the top of the table has been sliced to six points, and the Reds have a game in hand.
Big Result For The Title Race
Tottenham deserved this outcome because, despite having pinned back by City's assault of possession, they were considerably more effective in taking their chances on the night.
When you examine how strongly Conte had pushed his team against a footballing monster that had won 3 of the last 4 Premier Trophies, winning a last-gasp penalty felt cruel.

And it is no longer certain that Pep Guardiola would get his hands on a 4th as Liverpool may now have an opportunity to move within 3 points of their opponents by winning their match in hand.
If that's the case, then you can bet that Liverpool Vs. Manchester City on coming April 9 (Saturday) will be a smash. Football, Guess not loving it.
