Tottenham “started fire” again in the fight for the Premier League title after the shock Harry Kane, who scored the winner at 90+5′, prevailed in a 3-2 defeat by Manchester City at Etihad.
Combined with Liverpool’s win over Norwich (3-1), the gap between the Reds and champions City narrowed to 6 points, with Jurgen Klopp’s team having a game fewer.
Of course, it is worth noting that yesterday’s (19/2) defeat of the Citizens “brought” a negative record to Pep Guardiola, as he is the only coach to lose to Tottenham under the leadership of Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho Nuno, respectively Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte the leaders of the same club.
