Manchester City vs Tottenham: What this game means for the title race

Manchester City Vs Tottenham had an exciting match over the weekend. Dejan Kulusevski opened up the scoring in the 4th minute with an assist from Son Heung-min to score his first goal since joining the club in the winter transfer window. City bounced back in the 33rd minute with a goal from Ilkay Gundogan which leveled the score. Manchester City took control of the game until Harry Kane helped Spurs regain the lead with another assist from Son Heung-min. The rest of the game was Manchester City pressing to find the equalizer that would help them secure at least a point from the match. They seemed to have found their chance when Cristian Romero made a handball in the box awarding City a penalty in stoppage-time. Riyad Mahrez stepped up to the spot and converted the goal. With 5 minutes left in stoppage time, Manchester City looked to take the lead, but again Harry Kane was able to score for Tottenham in the 94th minute to help secure the 3 points. These 3 points couldn't have come at a better time for Tottenham as they were coming into Manchester with 3 straight losses.
