League leaders Man City suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Spurs in a thrilling clash at the Etihad Stadium.

A Premier League classic unraveled before the eyes of Premier League fans with Tottenham Hotspur condemning Manchester City to a surprise defeat on Saturday night. The former successfully handled the league leaders to a fault to score a late winner and run away from the Etihad with a 3-2 victory.

Spurs pushed City to their limit from start to finish, and despite having a large possession deficit, they were the side to break the deadlock through Dejan Kulusevski inside the first four minutes. Gundogan then equalised for the defending champions, before Kane finished a beautiful Tottenham move to reclaim the lead.

Referee Anthony Taylor penalised Cristian Romero for a handball in injury time, and Riyad Mahrez converted the subsequent penalty to draw the game at 2-2. And, just as City appeared to be on the verge of running away with a point, Kane struck again in the 95th minute, sparking wild celebrations in his side's dugout.

The night's result sparked Spurs' Champions League hopes while blowing the Premier League title race wide open with Liverpool now sitting six points behind leaders Man City with a game in hand. The Reds, who secured an important 3-1 comeback win against Norwich could potentiall close the gap to three points when they host Leeds on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, a number of records and statistics in the competition were duly revised following the conclusion of the classic encounter. Here are a few notable ones that surfaced following the masterclass delivered by Antonio Conte's men:

  • Antonio Conte is the first Tottenham Hotspur manager to defeat Pep Guardiola's Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

  • After Chelsea (2016-17), Manchester United (2019-20), and Wolves (2019-20), Tottenham Hotspur is only the fourth team to win the league double over a team managed by Pep Guardiola (2019-20).

  • Only Chelsea (eight) have beaten a side managed by Pep Guardiola more times than Tottenham (six) in his entire managerial career.

  • Harry Kane's winner for Tottenham, timed at 94:25, was the latest winning goal scored against Manchester City in the Premier League since Michael Owen for Manchester United in September 2009 (95:27).

  • Kane and Heung-Min Son have now combined for 36 Premier League goals, equaling Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard for the most by any pair in the competition's history.

  • Pep Guardiola is the only manager to lose to Tottenham under each of Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte while in charge of the same club.

  • Tottenham's Dejan Kulusevski became the fourth Swedish player to score on his Premier League debut after Martin Pringle for Charlton at Newcastle in January 1999, Johan Elmander for Bolton v Stoke in August 2008, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic for Man Utd v Bournemouth in August 2016.
