While it was supposed to react, the Manchester City team experienced an unprecedented disaster. In its stronghold and against a Tottenham team which was also in the tough, the Sky Blues were defeated with a clear score of 4 goals to 0.
Manchester City hits rock bottom
In this part, the reigning English champions did not see the light of day. At the break, they were already 0-3 down, including two goals from James Maddison. And things did not get better after returning from the locker room. The Spurs ended up winning 4-0 after the final blow delivered at the end of the game by young Brennan Johnson.
For City, this is a first loss at home since November 12, 2022 and a hiccup against Brentford. More precisely, it had been 52 matches since the Eastlands had not fallen in front of their home crowd. This shows the importance of this undress. On the other hand, it is their heaviest home defeat in the league since the 1-5 against Arsenal in 2003.
Historic also for Guardiola
It was also the fifth defeat in a row, in all competitions. A series that Pep Guardiola had never experienced on a personal level during his coaching career. And it comes days after he extended his contract with the club by two years.
Since he has been coaching, Guardiola has only once “taken” four goals in a home match. It was against Ancelotti’s Real when he was coaching Bayern Munich (2013/2014).
