James Maddison Double as Spurs Stun Man City 4-0

James Maddison scored twice as Tottenham stunned Manchester City with a 4-0 victory, ending City’s 52-match unbeaten home streak at the Etihad and marking their worst home defeat since 2003. Pedro Porro added a thunderous third and Brennan Johnson sealed the win with a late tap-in. This shocking result is City’s fifth consecutive loss—their worst run since 2006—and their first-ever three-game Premier League losing streak under Pep Guardiola, who signed a contract extension just two days prior.

Tottenham missing key players and fielding a youthful bench delivered a performance that belied their struggles including a recent loss to Ipswich. They capitalized on City’s defensive errors, with Maddison scoring in the 13th and 20th minutes. Gvardiol’s mistakes proved costly, gifting James Maddison and Son Heung-min an easy route to goal. Porro’s stunning strike after halftime effectively ended the contest.

City clearly missing injured midfielder Rodri, lacked their usual defensive solidity. Erling Haaland squandered several chances while Guglielmo Vicario made crucial saves to deny City a foothold. Tottenham’s Radu Dragusin exemplified the visitors’ determination with a key defensive intervention late on.

The result leaves City second in the league, trailing Liverpool by five points while Tottenham climb to sixth just four points behind Guardiola’s side. This historic night will live long in Spurs folklore as they demonstrated resilience and clinical finishing in a match that exposed City’s vulnerabilities.

Guardiola facing uncharted territory with consecutive heavy defeats, must now find answers to City’s declining form. Despite the loss, City’s boss is secure in his position but the absence of Rodri remains a glaring issue. Tottenham celebrated a historic triumph, delivering a gritty and brilliant performance to silence the Etihad crowd.
