EDERSON made a howler to gift Tottenham the opener in their clash at the Etihad.
The City stopper played a terrible pass that Rodri could only flick into the path of Dejan Kulusevski, who coolly swept home.
The reigning champions had been playing some risky football around the back throughout the game, but got away with it on a couple occasions.
However, their luck ran out on the stroke of half-time when another loose pass was capitalised on by Spurs.
Having received the ball back from Nathan Ake, Ederson played a pass into Rodri just inside the City penalty area.
But the midfielder’s attempted clearance landed at the feet of Kulusevski.
