The drama! The passion! Drink it all in! Harry Kane has come to haunt Manchester City – and the price could prove to be legendary!
The England captain strikes twice in the second half – including a second in injury-time – to hand Tottenham an absolutely crucial win, reversing Antonio Conte’s slump of form and putting their European aspirations back on track.
But more to the point, his double – to rescue his side from the chances of a draw on both occasions – have handed Pep Guardiola’s side a blow in the title race. It is a first league loss since October – and it leaves the gap to the summit at six points.
HE’S DONE IT AGAIN! YOU CANNOT WRITE THIS STUFF!
Well, clearly you can – Harry Kane, deep into injury-time, has struck for a second time to put Tottenham ahead in the final seconds for the third time this game!
Mere moments after they looked to be consigned to a draw after that penalty call, the England skipper towers up in the box and nods Dejan Kulusevski’s touch home following a wonderful wide cross!
There’s a question of offside in the build-up – but VAR won’t intervene to chalk this one off! Manchester City have been stunned at the last hurdle, surely!
Up steps Riyad Mahrez – and in goes the ball, cool as you like!
It is a cruel, cruel blow for Tottenham. Twice, they have snatched the lead of this game – and twice, they have been brought back to earth by the champions. Manchester City look destined to make them share the spoils today.
Does Harry Kane have one final trick up his sleeve?
