Manchester (AP) – The championship race in the English Premier League is open again. Leader Manchester City lost spectacularly in their own stadium 2: 3 (1: 1) against Tottenham Hotspur with the outstanding double goal scorer Harry Kane.
Man City are still six points ahead of second-placed Liverpool, who beat Norwich 3-1 but have played a game fewer than champions City. Both teams will also meet in a direct duel this season.
Tottenham took the lead early on through a goal by Dejan Kulusevski (4th minute). But the German international Ilkay Gündogan (33rd) equalized in the first half. After the break, a spectacular game developed in which Kane (59th) first put the guests from London back in the lead and then even supposedly increased it, but his goal to make it 3-1 was disallowed for offside after video evidence.
In injury time, Man City was again awarded a deserved hand penalty after video evidence, which Riyad Mahrez (90 + 2) converted. Then City increased the pressure again. But in the seven-minute stoppage time, Kane (90+5) scored the winning goal for Spurs, who also brought the result over time in the hectic final phase at the Etihad Stadium and are now seventh in the table.
