Man City vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction after last-gasp Harry Kane winner

Man City host Tottenham in the late kick-off on a busy Saturday in the Premier League.

There were boos last time out for Spurs after defeat to Wolves, and Antonio Conte has been furious at the coverage and reaction to his interview with the Italian media, where he bemoaned the transfer situation after January, despite spending big to sign Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski, both from Juventus.

Spurs meet a City side in fine form after their demolition of Sporting in the Champions League this week, to all but secure their place in the quarter-finals following the one-sided first leg. Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling all enter this game in fine form and pose a huge threat to Spurs as they bid to keep alive hopes of a top-four finish.

The task at hand has been simplified by City’s dominance in possession though, which could aid Conte’s ability to drill his side this week on the training ground in hope of at least a performance to promote confidence down the straight as Harry Kane considers his future this summer with just two years remaining on his contract.

Follow the build-up, live score and goal updates, analysis and reaction from the Etihad Stadium below:

Hakim Ziyech saves abject Chelsea as late goal hands Crystal Palace cruel blow

18:31 , Michael Jones

After being crowned world champions under the desert sun, Chelsea’s short trip through the storm to south London threatened to leave them drenched in reality.

For 89 minutes, a fairly miserable performance was mired in familiar problems as Thomas Tuchel’s attack toiled in vain and Romelu Lukaku’s presence wavered between inhibiting or anonymous.

But just as the clock was about to bleed into the red of stoppage time, Hakim Ziyech’s deft volley at the far post rescued all three points for Chelsea and prevented them from being plunged deeper into a top-four battle.

Southampton pile pressure on Everton with 2-0 win

18:29 , Michael Jones

Stuart Armstrong and Shane Long struck rare Premier League goals as Southampton overwhelmed Everton 2-0 on the south coast.

If Armstrong was ecstatic to end a drought running from April 4, 2021, Long stepped off the bench to top that sense of relief with his first touch.

Republic of Ireland striker Long’s last Premier League effort for Saints came in a 2-0 win over Aston Villa on February 22, 2020.

Wout Weghorst helps Burnley off foot of Premier League table with Brighton win

18:27 , Michael Jones

Wout Weghorst fired his first Premier League goal as relegation-threatened Burnley climbed off the bottom of the table with a resounding 3-0 success at Brighton.

Netherlands striker Weghorst – a £12million January signing from German club Wolfsburg following Chris Wood’s departure to Newcastle – set the Clarets on course for a first win in 12 top-flight games with a clinical finish.

Josh Brownhill’s deflected drive doubled the visitors’ advantage before Aaron Lennon’s second-half strike sealed a stunning scoreline at the Amex Stadium.

Emmanuel Dennis ends Watford’s winless run at Aston Villa

18:25 , Michael Jones

Emmanuel Dennis ended Watford’s three-month wait for a victory as Roy Hodgson celebrated his first win in charge on the road at Aston Villa.

The Hornets arrived at Villa Park in the midst of the longest current winless run in the Premier League, having picked up just two points in the 11 matches that followed November’s memorable win against Manchester United.

Hodgson replaced Claudio Ranieri during that bleak run and secured his first victory as Watford manager on Saturday afternoon as Dennis headed home a cross from Ismaila Sarr to seal a 1-0 triumph.

18:22 , Michael Jones

Mohamed Salah’s 150th Liverpool goal helped keep his side’s title challenge on track as they came from behind to beat Norwich 3-1 at Anfield.

Victory kept the pressure on leaders Manchester City ahead of their evening kick-off but more significantly it was the momentum it maintained in their pursuit which was crucial.

How significant this result – an eighth successive win in all competitions – is will only be known come May, but it felt like a season-defining moment when the Egypt international rolled home a gentle shot in the 67th minute to put the Reds ahead.

Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka shine as Arsenal down Brentford to continue turnaround

18:21 , Michael Jones

Some at Arsenal may call it “revenge”, but they should now have much bigger aims.

Earlier today Mikel Arteta’s young team emphasised the extent of their improvement with a 2-1 win over Brentford that was a far cry from the alarming 2-0 defeat that kicked off the season.

Thomas Frank’s team, still without Christian Eriksen, didn’t create anything like the same noise. They barely created anything at all, and should really start to worry about getting dragged into a relegation battle.

Half-time: Man City 1 - 1 Spurs

18:18 , Michael Jones

45+2 mins: Nothing the separate the teams at the break. Dejan Kulusevski puts Tottenham in front inside of five minutes and the visitors were holding City at bay for the next half an hour.

A mistake from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris saw him fumble Raheem Sterling’s cross back into the path of Ilkay Gundogan and City’s captain made no mistakes knocking it home.

18:16 , Michael Jones

45 mins: Two minutes of added time to play in the first half. City switch the play over to Sterling on the left and he weaves inside of Royal. Cristian Romero skips across to cover and nicks the ball off Sterling before he can shoot.

18:10 , Michael Jones

39 mins: Tottenham look to have pushed slightly higher since the Man City goal and are trying to play it through midfield. They don’t manage it though and Ben Davies is called into action to boot the ball clear as City quickly move it into the Tottenham box.

Man City 1 - 1 Spurs

18:07 , Michael Jones

36 mins: It’s a deserved goal. Tottenham haven’t been able to handle City’s left side and they’ve paid the price. The goalkeeper could do better. It’s a mistake from him but City have been knocking on the door since they went behind early on.

Joao Cancelo takes a shot from range but sends it wide of the near post after it deflects behind off Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

GOAL! Man City 1 - 1 Spurs (Gundogan, 33’)⚽️

Son wins the race but has to keep the play from crossing the touchline. The ball rolls away from him just as Walker arrives to recover it and the attack dies down for Spurs.

Man City 0 - 1 Spurs

17:54 , Michael Jones

24 mins: Tottenham have had a couple of warning signs from Man City now. They need to tighten up on their right side defensively or else it won’t be too long before City score.

Tottenham win the ball in midfield and give it to Harry Kane. He turns and sees Son Heung-min’s run in between Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker so feeds the ball into that gap. Son’s first touch isn’t great though and it allows Walker the chance to sprint back and recover possession.

Tottenham were almost in again there.

Man City 0 - 1 Spurs

17:51 , Michael Jones

21 mins: Off the post! Man City are having the most joy down the left side. Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling have switched places and Cancelo slides the ball to Sterling.

He rolls the ball onto his right-foot and curls one towards the far top corner but sends the effort just wide of the goal.

Man City 0 - 1 Spurs

17:47 , Michael Jones

16 mins: Harry Kane is having to do a lot of work for Tottenham. Whenever they win the ball deep in their own half, Spurs play it up to Kane who’s making runs through the lines and trying to get in behind the City centre-backs. If the ball doesn’t reach him, he’s quickly out to press and trying to force City back.

Man City 0 - 1 Spurs

17:44 , Michael Jones

13 mins: Harry Kane laces a left-foot pass over to the right side of the pitch and picks out Emerson Royal pressing forward. He’s got bags of space in front of him so takes his time with a cross into the box.

Man City 0 - 1 Spurs

Man City 0 - 1 Spurs

17:38 , Michael Jones

7 mins: What a start for Tottenham. Antonio Conte will be delighted with that. Spurs are setting up with a back five when Man City have the ball so they’re expecting to do a lot of defending. Now they have something to defend.

Kevin De Bruyne flicks the ball into the box and Phil Foden heads it on into the six-yard box. Ilkay Gundogan is hovering around but Hugo Lloris beats him to the ball and scoops it up.

GOAL! Man City 0 - 1 Spurs (Kulusevski, 4’)⚽️

17:34 , Michael Jones

4 mins: Great goal from Tottenham! Harry Kane drops deep to receive the ball and then flicks a first time pass in behind Ruben Dias. He pushes up to play the offside trap on Son Heung-min but the Spurs forward times his run brilliantly and sprints away from the centre-back. He chases down the ball brings it into the box before squaring a pass over to Dejan Kulusevski who guides it home!

Man City 0 - 0 Spurs

17:34 , Michael Jones

3 mins: Spurs try to play their way out from the back but Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is caught by Ilkay Gundogan who puts the ball out of play with his tackle.

It doesn’t take long for City to recover the ball. Aymeric Laporte passes it out to Joao Cancelo on the left and he whips a cross into the box that doesn’t quite drop for Raheem Sterling.

Man City 0 - 0 Spurs

17:31 , Michael Jones

Kick off: Tottenham get the ball rolling at the Etihad Stadium. They work the ball down the right wing but lose possession to City. Ruben Dias flicks the ball down the left side for Raheem Sterling but the pass it overhit and Sterling can’t bring it under control.

17:28 , Michael Jones

This should hopefully be a good game. Spurs have lost their last three Premier League fixtures and now have to take on the league leaders away from home.

Manchester City are in incredible form. They haven’t lost since October and are heading towards another Premier League title. Can Tottenham halt their progress this evening?

Here come the teams.

Man City vs Spurs: Pep Guardiola says Man City’s failure to sign Harry Kane left him unsure how team would perform

17:26 , Michael Jones

Pep Guardiola has stressed he did not know how Manchester City’s season would pan out after their failure to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham last summer.

The City boss says a deal for Kane was “far away” with Spurs “clear this is not going to happen”, adding: “When that happens two or three or four times, it’s over.”

With no high-profile striker arriving as Sergio Aguero departed for Barcelona, City started 2021-22 with back-to-back defeats, being beaten 1-0 at Tottenham – then managed by Nuno Espirito Santo – in their Premier League opener a week after losing to Leicester by the same score in the Community Shield.

Man City vs Spurs

17:24 , Michael Jones

Tottenham are looking to avoid losing four successive Premier League games for the first time since a run of six defeats between October and November 2004.

They have conceded seven goals in their last three top-flight matches, one more than they did in their first nine under Antonio Conte.

Spurs are also trying to secure their first league double over the reigning top-flight champions since 1986-87, when they beat Liverpool 1-0 home and away.

Man City vs Spurs

17:22 , Michael Jones

Manchester City have earned 43 points from 45 available in the Premier League since losing to Crystal Palace in October. The aggregate score in those matches is 41-8.

They have won all 19 league games this season in which they scored the opening goal and City have scored 98 goals in 37 competitive fixtures in 2021-22. It took them until their 45th game of last season to reach a century of goals.

Man City vs Spurs

17:20 , Michael Jones

Just over 10 minutes to go before kick off at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City need to win to restore their nine point lead over Liverpool. Three points for Tottenham would move them back into seventh place, four points off the top four with two games in hand.

Man City vs Spurs: Antonio Conte arrives at Man City juncture amid more Tottenham noise

17:16 , Michael Jones

When Tottenham Hotspur officials saw the actual transcription of what Antonio Conte said in interviews this week, they were less aggravated, but still perturbed. There is an anxiety about just how much noise the Italian is causing.

Those close to him would say he’s always like this, and was the same in his first season at an ailing Inter Milan. He then made them champions.

That was a different situation at a different club, though. At Spurs, he’s only making more problems.

17:13 , Michael Jones

Manchester City’s only loss in their last 12 home games against Tottenham in all competitions was a 2-1 league defeat in February 2016.

However, Spurs have won three of the last four league meetings, which is as many as they had in their previous 13 attempts. All of those victories have been at home though.

17:10 , Michael Jones

There’s one more Premier League game to go today as Manchester City take on Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium. Here’s a reminder of the two teams:

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Emerson Royal, Bentancur, Sessegnon, Hojbjerg, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

Premier League standings
