Manchester City suffered a shocking 4-0 defeat to Tottenham at the Etihad, marking Pep Guardiola’s first-ever five-game losing streak across all competitions. James Maddison scored twice in the first half, Pedro Porro added another shortly after the break, and Brennan Johnson sealed it in stoppage time. This loss ended City’s record 52-game unbeaten home run and saw them drop five points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand. Spurs climbed to sixth with 19 points.
Guardiola, who recently extended his contract, admitted City’s defensive fragility, calling this a unique challenge in his eight years at the club. Despite dominating possession and having 23 shots, City’s missed chances, including three by Erling Haaland, proved costly. Maddison called the victory “special,” highlighting the significance of beating the reigning champions so decisively.
