Man City vs Tottenham: The top-4 race has grown intense after Tottenham suffered a 1-0 defeat, while Man City go top of the table. Here are the best Twitter reactions.
A Phil Foden goal made the sole difference between the two sides as Manchester City go top of the table. Tottenham, meanwhile, suffered another setback in the race for top-4.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side now risks going down to fifth position by the end of the match-week, as Arsenal and Chelsea can topple Tottenham. Manchester United, meanwhile, can level the North Londoners on points if they beat Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Phil Foden scored the only goal of the game in the fifth minute through a strong header. Sergio Aguero assisted for the goal. The English youngster made a surprising start in the game and was later substituted for David Silva.
Tottenham, meanwhile, were left frustrated days after they registered an astonishing aggregate victory over Guardiola’s men in the quarterfinal of the Champions League.

Foden:
“Kun did great to head it back to me. Luckily I was on the line to head in. I am just happy to help the lads today.
Being an attacking midfielder I am always trying to be in the box and today it paid off. Every player I play with I look up to and try to learn from.” pic.twitter.com/yfXK4uJsDh
