TOTTENHAM lost 4-2 to Manchester City in an epic Premier League game that saw them go 2-0 up. Dejan Kulusevski made it 1-0, capitalising on Ederson’s sloppy pass out from the back before Emerson Royal made it 2-0 moments later.
But just after the second half started, Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland scored a quick-fire double of their own, before Riyad Mahrez completed the comeback.
Mahrez then scored another late goal to make it 4-2.

Thanks for joining us!
I can’t remember a game in which one side scored twice just before half time and then the opposition scored two of their own almost straight after the restart.
It had seemed as though Spurs were home and dry after Emerson Royal nodded them two goals ahead but this Tottenham defence has been so brittle this season.
As soon as Alvarez halved the deficit it seemed inevitable they would equalise.
Riyad Mahrez was sensational in the second half, scoring two goals on his way to earning the man of the match award.
The nature of the result feels as if it could be transformative for Manchester City’s title chances.
Arsenal fans would have been in the strange position of cheering Tottenham’s goals but they will now be cursing their North London rivals for capitulating in the second half.
While there’s no shame in being beaten by Manchester City, Antonio Conte will face fresh questions over how his team could let a two-goal lead slip so meekly.
These two teams face off again in a little over two weeks’ time and here’s hoping that it’s every bit as exciting as this one has been tonight.
Until then, all that’s left for me to say is thanks for joining me and I’ll speak to you next time!
Rico Lewis
City’s right back was outstanding once again tonight.
The 18-year-old is comfortable with the ball as well as being happy to move into areas in central midfield.
It will be interesting to see whether Rico Lewis will now keep Kyle Walker out of the team when the biggest matches come around.
Mahrez quotes
Riyad Mahrez has been speaking after his two goals helped City earn a vital three points.
We knew we could come back from two goals and that’s what we did in the second half.We rode our luck a little bit but we punished them in the end. Riyad Mahrez Sky Sports
Riyad Mahrez
The City winger was outstanding in the second half.
He gave Ivan Perisic a torrid time on the Spurs left with Antonio Conte deciding to take him out of the firing line by replacing the Croatian with Ryan Sessegnon.
There’s an argument to say that Hugo Lloris should have kept out his first even though the shot took a slight deflection off Ben Davies on its way in at the near post.
And he was handed his second by a shocker from Clement Lenglet but Mahrez made sure he punished the Spurs defender to put the game out of sight for City.

Game of two halves
Spurs’ shock two goal lead at half time seems a long time ago now.
City clicked into gear in the second half and totally blew Spurs away.
It’s a big win for City against a team they hadn’t beaten in the last six attempts.
Full Time: Man City 4 – 2 Spurs
Peep! Peep! Peeeeeeeeeep! The referee blows the full time whistle and that’s it.
City have cut Arsenal’s lead to five points at the top of the table.
Man City 4 – 2 Spurs
90+3, Lenglet almost makes another horror mistake as his pass to Bissouma looks to be under-hit but the referee blows for a foul on the Spurs midfielder.
It’s fair to say that it hasn’t been a great performance by the on-loan Frenchman since he was sent on.
Man City 4 – 2 Spurs
90, We’re going to have four minutes of time added on at the end here.
GOAL! Man City 4 – 2 Spurs

They know how big this result could prove to be in the title race.

Seven minutes of normal time left for City to hold on.

Man City 3 – 2 Spurs
77, The pace of this game is quite breathtaking.
Both teams are going for the kill every time they have the ball.
Man City 3 – 2 Spurs
75, Son wastes a great opening for Tottenham.
Kane sends him through but he hesitates as Ake puts him under pressure and Son opts to work the ball out wide instead of trying a shot.
City eventually get enough players back and the attack ends with a wild hack over the bar from Romero.
Man City 3 – 2 Spurs
73, The game has settled down a little after the madness that occurred either side of half time.
It’s up to Spurs to come from behind now.

69, Antonio Conte makes his first change of the night as Ivan Perisic comes off and Ryan Sesssegnon takes his place at left wing back.
Man City 3 – 2 Spurs
68, It’s almost as if someone told Spurs how much a win for them would benefit Arsenal.
They’ve gone from 2-0 up to 3-2 down inside 20 minutes.
GOAL! Man City 3 – 2 Spurs

63, Mahrez puts City in front!
Mahrez gets in behind Perisic again and sees his shot take a slight deflection off Ben Davies and beat Hugo Lloris at his near post.
There will be questions asked of the Spurs goalkeeper again for being beaten there.
But City won’t care, they’ve turned it around!
Man City 2 – 2 Spurs
62, More good play from Spurs eventually ends with Kane shooting wide from range.
They’ve worked themselves back into the game here.
Man City 2 – 2 Spurs
59, How did that stay out from Perisic?
Spurs break down the right wing and eventually Kulusevski squares for Perisic who sees his shot deflect off Rico Lewis and onto the frame of the goal!
I’m not sure how much Lewis knew about that one but he’ll be thankful for it.

Viera overjoyed with performance
Patrick Viera has relayed how pleased he is that his side managed to stop the rot tonight with a draw against a top side.
It should now give them more confidence going into the rest of the season.
They welcome Newcastle to Selhurst Park on the weekend as they another of the in-form teams in the Premier League.
Bounce back to winning ways
Despite the disappointment of taking a draw from the jaws of victory, United have a good run of games ahead.
If they can upset the form guide on Sunday, they have four very winnable games to follow.
Erik ten Hag will need his side to put games to bed and learn from tonight’s result.

Huge loss for weekend Emirates trip
Casemiro’s yellow card he picked up today will hurt United.
He was lucky it was only yellow when replays showed the challenge as it was very Souness-esque.
The Brazilian covers so much of the park for his team, it will cause them issues against the Premier League leaders.

He’s taking the Michael surely
Michael Olise left Erik ten Hag reeling on the touchline with one magical set piece to ruin his hopes of making it a monumental 10 successive wins in all competitions.
Add to that the yellow card Casermiro picked up when Fred was warming up to come on for him, the Dutch manager will feel this has not been a good night at the office.
There was nothing David de Gea to keep his shot out, thundering off the bar and in.

FT: Crystal Palace 1-1 Man Utd
What a chance that was for United to close the gap on Arsenal and move to second in the table.

Tottenham vs Arsenal will be shown live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Football.
You can live stream the action from the NOW TV or Sky Go apps, both of which are available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.

The main men
Two of the contenders for player of the season are involved in this North London derby.
Martin Odegaard has been absolutely sensational, and was rewarded with the Premier League player of the month award for December.
But someone who always has a say in this fixture is Harry Kane, with the English strikers performances going somewhat under the radar due to Erling Haaland’s goal scoring exploits…
This is how the two key men match up against each other today in terms of stats.
Harry Kane and Martin Odegaard have been sensational so far this season.
Conte on Arsenal clash
Antonio Conte knows the importance of a victory in today’s North London derby.
“Arsenal are doing very well,” he said.
“Now they have to show they can stay there until the end of the season because I’m sure Manchester City doesn’t agree and will feel the real possibility to win again, especially because Liverpool already lost a lot of points – the same for Chelsea and Manchester United. It is a battle between Arsenal and Manchester City.
“You are in that moment the best team in the league. For this reason, everybody wants to beat you.
“For sure, Arsenal has to face this situation [as] favourites to win the league. They have to show they are good to face this type of situation.”
Mudryk hijack
Arsenal will be focussed on Spurs today – but one thing that will be on manager Arteta’s mind is Mykhaylo Mudryk’s transfer to Chelsea.
The Gunners were on the verge of agreeing a deal with Shakhtar for the 22-year-old winger.
But Chelsea ghosted in at the 11th-hour to secure a deal with the Ukrainian team on Saturday night.
And today, Mudryk was confirmed as Chelsea’s new player, having signed an eight-and-a-half year contract for £88m.

Arteta on Spurs
Arsenal can go eight points clear today with a win.
“The way that we have performed and the results that got confidence-wise has put us in a good position,” he said ahead of the game.
“But that is something that you have to show every match and every opponent, especially every away game brings challenges and this is no different.
“We are going to have to go there, play our way and win the match.”

That’s all from us, good night!
That is all from us tonight on an action packed day of Premier League football, which saw Arsenal get the better of North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, and move eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
There were two other Premier League games on today, and the results were as follows:

Newcastle United 1-0 Fulham
Chelsea 1-0 Crystal Palace

Thank you as always for reading, it has been a pleasure, and I hope to see you again soon.
Good night!
Still to come…
Arsenal may be eight points clear at the top of the table tonight, but the rest of the Premier League will know all to well that this season is far from over.
Manchester United and Manchester City are now both chasing the London club, with Newcastle also after the leaders.
They face two of those teams in their next four games, which could be crucial in deciding if they do in fact end up Premier League champions in the summer.
Arsenal’s next four opponents in the Premier League.
Post-match commotion
Aaron Ramsdale explained post match what happened after the game, as he was KICKED by a Spurs fan when he went to get his gloves and bottle, here is what happened:
After the full-time whistle went, Ramsdale kicked the ball away and kissed the Arsenal badge on his shirt, and ‘gave some’ to the Spurs fans behind his goal.
Richarlison then came over to confront him for doing so, and Ramsdale walked off to get his water bottle and gloves while the Brazilian continued to remonstrate with him, and pushed Ramsdale in the face.
When picking up his bottle, a Tottenham fan jumped onto the advertising board and booted Ramsdale in the back.
Needless to say that the fan in question should be banned from ever entering the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium again, and we expect to hear more about it in the coming days…

Man of the match
There is only one man it can go to, and that man is Aaron Ramsdale.
The English shot-stopper was brilliant in goal today, and made seven saves, a record which he has only bettered in one Premier League game.
He made two brilliant saves in particular, from Sessegnon and Son, as well as a few from Harry Kane.

Eight points clear
Arsenal move eight points clear at the top of the Premier League, and Spurs drop down to fifth in the table.
A first North London Derby win for Arsenal away at Tottenham since March 2014, when Mikel Arteta was captain.
Not a very good day for Hugo Lloris in the Arsenal net, whose wrists crumpled like a discarded crisp packet for the first goal.
That was before Martin Odegaard rattled home a screamer from 25-yards to double the scoring.
There was something of an onslaught early in the second half from Spurs, but Arsenal did well to weather the storm and see the game out.
There was plenty of commotion at the end of the game, as a fan looked to attack Aaron Ramsdale, after Richarlison caused a scene with the English goalkeeper.
