Manchester City Trample over Tottenham with 6-0 Defeat

A rampant Manchester City thrashed Tottenham to reassert their title credentials and move six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.The hosts went ahead after 14 seconds when a poor Hugo Lloris clearance led to Jesus Navas brilliantly chipping in. Alvaro Negredo’s shot went in off Sandro and Aguero turned in a low cross as City went 3-0 up before the break. Aguero again slotted in before Negredo’s 18-yard strike and a side-footed Navas shot completed the rout.

City have struggled on their travels this season but at home they have been an irresistible force and they were once again in sublime form at Etihad Stadium, where they have a 100% record in the present campaign with six wins from as many games.

The defeat left Tottenham with just one point from their last three top-flight outings, as they suffered their biggest league defeat since losing 7-1 to Newcastle in December 1996,
and the drop in form has put them ninth in the Premier League.
