Erling Haaland was snubbed by his teammates on numerous occasions as Manchester City put in a lacklustre first-half performance in their Premier League ...

The Sky Blues lacked a No.10-style player to link the play against Spurs on Sunday, especially as Kevin De Bruyne was named on the bench. [Harry Kane](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/harry-kane) struck on the quarter-hour mark following Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's fine work to win the ball back in the visitors' final third. The game became increasingly scrappy as it wore on, with Grealish involved in many a tussle against Tottenham right-back Emerson Royal. Neville's comments were echoed by Micah Richards and Graeme Souness in the studio, yet City continued to struggle to get Haaland into the game early in the second half. The City boss fielded Mahrez and The prolific Norwegian international, 22, was not helped in the slightest by his lack of service.

Tottenham 1-0 Manchester City: Premier League – as it happened (The Guardian)

Harry Kane scored his 267th goal for Spurs, breaking Jimmy Greaves' record, as the home side deservedly beat an off-kilter City.

Ake runs across to slide tackle Royal on the edge of the area, with the ball ricocheting behind for a goalkick. 63 min “From a tactical perspective,” says Peter Oh, “is it fair to say that Harry Kane has ripped up City’s 4-3-3/3-3-4/3-5-2 playbook with his ruthless 2-6-7? He smashes a shot that hits Dier’s knee and flies over the bar. He slides an inviting first-time ball that just evades both the diving Ederson and the sliding Kane in the six-yard box. 68 min City are looking more dangerous now, and more desperate (in a good way). Ederson comes out to save Kane’s shot brilliantly with his outstretched left leg, and the ball ricochets off Kane before going wide of the near post. Grealish has looked most likely to create something for City in the second half. 76 min Walker’s deflected long-range shot is easily saved by Lloris, City’s first shot on target in the second half. To score and win that game was just the start. They could still have drawn or even won the game, because they are that good, but that was a slightly alarming performance. There’s been so much talk about it in the last two weeks and I wanted to get it done as soon as possible. I was desperate to do it with a win as well, and in front of the home fans.

How Harry Kane broke Jimmy Greaves' Tottenham goals record (ESPN)

Harry Kane is now Tottenham's top scorer, claiming a record that stood for over 50 years. Here's how he did it, and a selection of his best strikes.

Three years after scoring his 100th goal for Spurs, Kane reached the 200 mark with a goal against Ludogorets in the Europa League in November 2020. He has totalled 58 assists for Spurs since 2011-12, with 44 of those coming in the Premier League. Indeed, his longest ever goal for Tottenham was put away from 31 metres, though it took a heavily deflected free kick against Stoke City in February 2017 to do so -- the third goal of a hat trick in a 4-0 victory for Spurs. [Arsenal](/soccer/team?id=359) during his career and the best arguably came during the Premier League derby at White Hart Lane in March 2016. While it's certainly debatable whether or not he actually meant to whack his lofted shot straight over [Jordan Pickford](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/159443/Jordan-Pickford) from way out on the right flank, it can't be denied that the goal signalled an incredibly important career milestone for the Spurs striker. Dortmund were also on the receiving end of what is probably Kane's finest Champions League effort in the 2017-18 group stage -- a powerful solo attack that began wide on the touchline and ended in a fierce shot being rocketed into the top corner with what is supposedly his weaker left foot to wrap up a 3-1 victory. After scoring five goals in League One while on loan at Leyton Orient the season previous, the teenager finally got off the mark for Spurs in 2011-12 when he popped up in injury time to add the fourth goal in a routine 4-0 win and thus open his account for the club. [the 1966 World Cup winner with England who died in 2021 at the age of 81](/soccer/england-eng/story/4478404/former-englandchelsea-and-tottenham-striker-jimmy-greaves-dies-aged-81) -- remains the all-time top goal scorer in the history of the English top flight with a total of 357 goals in 516 games for Spurs, [Chelsea](/soccer/team?id=363) and West Ham combined. That came in 2017-18 when Kane notched 41 goals in 48 games for Spurs in the most prolific campaign of his club career to date. Kane has certainly scored some delectable goals for Tottenham since 2011 but the best from a purely aesthetic standpoint might be this exquisite first-time, 20-yard drive against Crystal Palace in March 2021. For Kane that came at the age of 18 during a Europa League group-stage clash against Shamrock Rovers in mid-December 2011. However, after scoring in the 1-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League on Jan.

Riyad Mahrez hit the underside of Tottenham’s crossbar after a lovely touch and shot with his left boot just before the break. But still City couldn’t break through — still they can’t quite crack it at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Statistically speaking, the teams who spend the most money on players and wages win the most silverware. That kind of luck is priceless. Well, OK, anything can happen, although it tends only to happen in short spells of games, or the odd 90 minutes. Out on the pitch, when there’s 11 v 11, anything can happen and everything does.

'Nasty' Tottenham produce dark arts masterclass against Man City to ... (Evening Standard)

Pep Guardiola outfoxed at Spurs again in performance made in Antonio Conte's image.

“That’s the standard — if we can do it against one of the best teams in the League, we can do it against anyone,” said Kane. We feel like we’ve got enough firepower to score goals and we’ve got to make sure we keep the ball out of the net.” It was, of course, Kane’s day, but Heung-min Son was full of menace again, Dejan Kulusevski a great outlet and the back three all imposing. Emerson Royal, whose battle with Grealish was hugely engaging, embodied Spurs’s spirit and energy in his best performance for the club, meaning Stellini had no reason to call for new £40million signing Pedro Porro. City’s analysts, sitting at the back of the press box, hammered their desks and roared in frustration. It was reckless and costly, but nonetheless an effective way of reminding the League’s top scorer he was getting close attention.
