Phil heads Man City back to the summit

Phil Foden’s early header returned City to the top of the Premier League as Pep Guardiola’s side secured a vital 1-0 win over Spurs.

City got off to the perfect start with Foden heading us into a fifth-minute lead at a sun-drenched Etihad.

But despite dominating possession we were unable to force a second and the visitors threatened with a number of chances, leading to a tense finale.

City though held our nerve to secure all three priceless points and return to the top of the table.

The one downside to an otherwise excellent afternoon’s work was the sight of Kevin De Bruyne having to be substituted late on in the first half after the midfielder appeared to pick up a leg injury.

Despite Tottenham knocking Manchester City out of the Champions League, Mauricio Pochettino said the need for Premier League points rather than revenge will be key for Pep Guardiola’s side when they meet for the fourth time this season, with City winning twice and Tottenham once.

“We are going to play in a different competition and they are fighting for the Premier League. They are not going for revenge, they are going to fight for the three points, like us.
