Tottenham's 1-0 win over Manchester City

After 15 minutes, Kane slid the ball home and surpassed the late Jimmy Greaves to become the all-time highest scorer for Spurs with 267 goals. It was sufficient to prevent City, who may have dropped two points behind first-place Arsenal after its defeat at Everton on Saturday, from overtaking Tottenham's impressive recent home record.

Instead, fifth-place Spurs defeated Pep Guardiola's squad for the third time in four games to help manager Antonio Conte, who is away in Italy recovering from gallbladder surgery. Cristian Romero was later sent off after receiving a second yellow card. Conte participated in team selection and signing on deadline day despite still recuperating from surgery. Spurs only had Pedro Porro on the bench because Kevin De Bruyne was unexpectedly listed as a replacement by City. After seeing Arsenal lose ground the day before, the visitors made their intentions known by blocking shots from Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez in the first minutes.
