Manchester City suffered a shocking 4-0 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur, marking their fifth consecutive loss across all competitions. Just 24 hours after Pep Guardiola signed a new two-year contract extension, his team was dismantled by Spurs, ending City's 52-match unbeaten home run at the Etihad Stadium which had stretched back to November 2022. This is the first time in Guardiola's managerial career that he has lost five games in a row. James Maddison celebrated his birthday with two goals, while Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson also scored for Spurs. Vicario made crucial saves to deny Erling Haaland, highlighting City's struggles in front of goal. Tottenham have now beaten City twice in a month, and this marks City's heaviest Premier League defeat in seven years. The defeat leaves Manchester City in crisis, now five points behind league leaders Liverpool in the Premier League standings. City had previously lost to Tottenham, Bournemouth, Sporting CP, and Brighton, making this their worst run since before Guardiola joined the club.
