Richarlison N/A
(Bissouma 88’) – A surprise return to the bench from injury; Jamie Donley (Johnson 90+6’) Late change in stoppage time. PA
Ederson 6/10
MAN CITY RATINGS: Reclaimed his spot in goal after being rested in midweek, but Ederson might feel he could have done better to keep out Son’s first goal. Stood no chance against Kulusevski’s header iShow more
Kyle Walker 6/10
Reliable when Spurs opted to play on the break. Gil stood no chance when matched against the pacy right-back, but Walker met his match up against Johnson for Spurs’ third. Reuters
Ruben Dias 6/10
Often the last line of defence for City, Dias crucially cleared Johnson’s dangerous ball into the box after Gvardiol was beaten. EPA
Josko Gvardiol 6/10
Preferred to Ake at left-back, Gvardiol found the pace of Spurs’ frontline a problem. Booked. Getty
Rodri 6/10
Picked up his fifth yellow card, which will see him suspended against Aston Villa, and leave Pep Guardiola with plenty of decisions. Narrowly missed an opportunity to restore City’s lead after his chiShow more
Manuel Akanji 6/10
Will be the centre of debates surrounding a penalty appeal in stoppage time when he appeared to be pushed by Skipp. AP
Phil Foden 7/10
Moved deeper into midfield as City came under pressure. He released Doku when he could have shot, and was rewarded moments later when he found space in the box to slot home City’s second. AFP
Julian Alvarez 7/10
Productive and intuitive, the Argentine found space to receive the ball and slip it through to Foden to net City’s second. He also came close to scoring himself. AP
Bernardo Silva 7/10
Should have added an assist to his name when he squared the ball to Haaland, but the Norwegian could only shoot narrowly wide. Forced a brilliant save from the out-stretched Vicario after half-time. AShow more
Jeremy Doku 7/10
Energetic on the wing, Doku caused problems for Porro and was only denied by the woodwork when he got the better of Davies. Limped off in the second half. PA
Erling Haaland 5/10
Missed an open goal early on and should have put City out of sight before half-time, but despite failing to net, he still managed to add an assist. AP
Jack Grealish 7/10
SUBS: (Doku 52’) – Converted from close range to restore City’s lead but will miss City’s visit to his former club Aston Villa after picking up a needless fifth yellow card of the season. AFP
Rico Lewis 6/10
(Foden 73’) – Immediately involved in the action, playing a neat link-up with Rodri, who could only chip his effort over. AFP
Nathan Ake N/A
(Gvardiol 86’) – Beaten in the air by Kulusevski for Spurs’ third. AFP
Mateo Kovacic N/A
(Alvarez 86’) – Came on as City tried to hang on for the win. Reuters
Guglielmo Vicario 6/10
TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Straight into the action, Vicario had to keep a calm head as City pressured the Spurs goalkeeper. He could do little about Son’s deflected own goal and he was left exposed for City’Show more
Pedro Porro 5/10
Struggled to deal with Doku on the wing, Porro also looked a mismatch against Haaland for City’s equaliser. Booked. Getty
Emerson Royal 5/10
Very fortunate to see Haaland miss an open goal after he was dispossessed in a dangerous area after playing the ball at the back. Looked shaky every time he touched the ball. Reuters
Ben Davies 6/10
Left isolated at the back for City’s second, whilst he could only back off from the weaving Doku, allowing him to hit the woodwork. Won a vital header in the run-up to Spurs’ second goal. Reuters
Destiny Udogie 6/10
Struggled in the first half to deal with City but much brighter in the second half as Spurs gained some composure, looking for opportunities in the box. Booked. AFP
Giovani Lo Celso 7/10
A deserved start for Lo Celso after his goal against Aston Villa and despite offering very little, scored his second goal in two games, beating Ederson with a low shot. Getty
Yves Bissouma 4/10
A disaster for Bissouma, who’d returned to Spurs’ starting XI from suspension, as he was punished for dithering in City’s half for Grealish’s goal. AFP
Brennan Johnson 7/10
The pacy winger caused problems on the ball for Gvardiol but lacked any real power with an effort in the second half. He later delivered an inch-perfect cross for Kulusevski to score the equaliser. AFShow more
Dejan Kulusevski 7/10
Played a key role in Spurs’ opening goal with a superb ball to find Son. Proved his determination during the closing stages, beating Ake in the air to score Spurs’ third. AP
Bryan Gil 6/10
Brilliant in the build up to Spurs’ first goal, Gil’s neat turn was the catalyst in creating the move, laying the ball off to Kulusevski who then found Son. Saw his afternoon cut short by an early tacShow more
Son Heung-min 7/10
A mixed afternoon for the South Korean, who netted Spurs’ first goal having been found by Kulusevski and beating Doku for speed. He was then unlucky to score an own goal and concede City’s equaliser. Show more
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg 7/10
(Gil 46’) - Brought a sense of composure to Spurs’ midfield and made his presence felt with two early fouls on Haaland. Reuters
Oliver Skipp N/A
(Lo Celso 79’) – Will be breathing a sigh of relief as City appealed for a penalty in the closing stages for a push on Akanji. ReutersRicharlison N/A
