Manchester City showed a big strength with comeback against Tottenham to dream again with Premier League title and threat Arsenal.

However, manager Pep Guardiola solved the team’s problems in the changing rooms. In the first of these, Ederson again failed badly after Rodri’s pass and Kulusevski took advantage to finish. Stones and Lewis returned to the back four in place of Walker and Cancelo.

And you. It’s not that Alvarez and Haaland work as a partnership – quite the opposite. Three times a City player stopped the ball as if to ask for calm, only for the mania to begin as soon as they passed that ball on. The slow passing, the in-to-out and then out-to-in runs of Erling Haaland without getting the ball, the missed half chances but nothing to fully hang your hat on, given all the possession – all were there in the first half. Those boos, aimed at the players and Guardiola too as the half-time whistle sounded, are proof that entitlement is real, but they also reflect what was becoming a sticky situation.

Antonio Conte watched his side suffer a second defeat in a row despite leading 2-0 at half-time against Manchester City as Tottenham collapsed in the second ...

The leaders’ advantage is down to five points – albeit with a game in hand – and that could be cut to two by the time Arsenal face Manchester United at the Emirates on Sunday if City beat Wolves earlier in the day. Five days after losing the Manchester derby, Pep Guardiola was on his knees and staring at three defeats in a row for only the third time in his managerial career. For the best part of an hour here at the Etihad, it looked like being a good night for Tottenham and an even better one for Arsenal. In a wild period after the restart, Mahrez was at the heart of City’s first two goals, the ones that restored parity and got the home crowd firmly back onside. While Guardiola celebrated on the touchline, Conte wore a look of utter resignation after a sixth defeat in 10 league games. It was time for somebody in sky blue to impose themselves and that somebody was him. Spurs’ goals had been scored at the end of the half by Dejan Kulusevski and Emerson Royal – a startling one-two punch – and they could scent a repeat of their victory here from last season, the one that ignited their successful push for the top four. [Premier League](https://www.theguardian.com/football/premierleague) matches that had allowed Arsenal to lengthen their stride at the top of the table. Pep Guardiola's side dominated large spells of the first half but it was Spurs who took the lead after Ederson's mistake allowed Dejan Kulusevski to coolly slot home from 12 yards. Tottenham suffered a devastating 4-2 defeat against Manchester City on Thursday night after leading 2-0 at half-time at the Etihad Stadium. Spurs were in control heading into the second half but Pep Guardiola's side turned the game on it's head within 18 minutes as goals from Julian Alvarez, Erling Haaland and Riyad Mahrez put the hosts ahead. Dejan Kulusevski opened the scoring for the visitors in his second match after returning from injury.

It's like he's at the end of his tether, and I've not seen him like that before." I want my fans in here. When you start going and talking about the fans and stuff it's a difficult situation. I see Arsenal games and they do everything good, that is why they are in front and deserve it. I want my fans back. I want to see my team. I have won a lot. I have experience. “The players want it, they train really good but there is something that is here in the clouds. "I don’t recognise my team. Not my away fans - my away fans is the best.

And so we have a request to make of the refereeing community. And perhaps that will balance the books and a new and unified squad will emerge, one of sensible size and unified purpose. So if the present looks like a bit of a mess, well, that's all part of the— sigh. And it was that reputation as a coach that got him the job in the first place. And over on the City side of things, is this sort-of-4-4-2 going to be the long-term solution to the Haaland Problem, if indeed there is such a thing as the Haaland Problem? We had a good joke lined up for the end of that one! The overriding concern for all teams in Arsenal's position is to learn the lessons of the past. Not his skills at managing a dressing room filled with superstars of the past, the present and the future. And so they were, for the first time in a week or so. And what's the point of having the most terrifying bench in the league if you're not going to use it. Hugo Lloris is currently the most nervous creature in existence, a colony of meerkats dressed in a keepers' kit for tax reasons. In the end, City were a bit too fluid and Julian Alvarez did a bit too much running around for this to be a proper Mike Bassett turn.
