The match was not just about the players, it was also about the tactical genius of the coaches ( Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte). Both teams needed the maximum points desperately, City needed the win so they can close the gap on Arsenal while Spurs needed three points so they could cut the gap between themselves and Newcastle United.
Pep Guardiola will have a bit to worry about despite the result of the game following Ederson’s poor first-half performance which gifted Tottenham two goals in the final minutes of halftime.
