Manchester City's Title Hopes Reignite After Stunning 4-2 Comeback Win Over Tottenham
Riyad Mahrez's Double Secures Victory
Kane's Early Goal Gives Spurs Advantage
Tottenham Hotspur took the lead at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday through Emerson Royal's 45th-minute goal, putting Manchester City under pressure to respond in the second half.
Despite Arsenal's 0-2 loss to Everton earlier in the day, Manchester City's title hopes were dealt a blow when Harry Kane nearly capitalized on a City defensive lapse, but his strike was deflected wide. The defending champions entered the match trailing Arsenal by eight points, and a loss would have effectively ended their title aspirations.
However, Manchester City showed their resilience and determination in the second half, scoring four goals to secure a crucial victory. Riyad Mahrez leveled the score in the 57th minute with a precise finish, and Julian Alvarez gave City the lead in the 70th minute.
Mahrez sealed the win with his second goal of the match in the 84th minute, while Erling Haaland added a fourth goal in stoppage time to cap off a remarkable comeback. Despite the late fightback, City's title hopes still hang in the balance, as they now trail Arsenal by five points.
