Tottenham are today chasing an unprecedented league double over Manchester City, unprecedented not only due to the difference in team value between the two clubs, but given Spurs’ horrendous record against the Citizens in recent years.
The hosts’ pressure finally paid off with 15 minutes to go, though, as Iheanacho smashed the ball into the roof of Spurs’ net after a superb cutback from Gael Clichy.
The former Spurs manager, who steered the team to top-four finishes in 2009-10 and 2011-12, has been hugely impressed by his former club this season.
The results of a momentous day left surprise pace-setters Leicester just two points clear of Tottenham and Arsenal, while City’s titles hopes took a heavy blow as they were left six points off the pace.
The good news though is that skipper Vincent Kompany is expected to be fit for this clash, the Belgian defender has played a total of nine minutes in City’s last 20 games and if fit, he will surely help plug in the defence which has leaked 26 goals so far. “An worldwide referee gives two yellow cards for normal fouls”, he said, adding that the winning goal came after the allotted stoppage time had been played.
After tomorrow’s game against the leaders, they face Man Utd and Tottenham in the league and are also in the FA Cup and, not to mention, a daunting fixture against Barcelona in the Champions League. Harry Kane fired Spurs ahead from the penalty spot after Raheem Sterling was harshly penalised for handball.
Tottenham not only ended a run of five successive defeats at City but secured a fifth successive league win as they look increasingly like potential title winners. Dele Alli is a wonderful young player, Harry Kane is now a proven striker, their centre-half pairing has looked really strong and I really like their manager Pochettino.
Sir Alex Ferguson believes Mauricio Pochettino is the best manager in the Barclays Premier League, according to Labour MP David Lammy. We took the risks, the spirit of the team was good but it was not enough.
Spurs benefited from a dubious penalty decision as they won 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium in a highly-charged Barclays Premier League contest. I have never anxious about my future.

“We responded well but we needed to get the three points”. It’s obviously something we have to keep an eye on and, if we’re not at the required levels, you have to work on your diet. If we want to win the League, we have to win against our biggest contenders.
