Tottenham 1-3 Manchester City: 3 things that went right for Manchester City

#3 Credit is due to multiple players

Raheem Sterling missed some chances but played an important role in the game

While Tottenham did nothing special to hold on to their fantastic home record in the Premier League, a bunch of Guardiola's men performed their roles to near perfection which resulted in 3 points.

In the defence, Vincent Kompany and Aymeric Laporte complemented each other pretty well, making important tackles through 90 minutes. Thanks to their solid defensive partnership, Ederson enjoyed a relaxing time between the post.

With Gundogan sitting deep behind David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne, the duo savoured their freedom in moving forward. De Bruyne displayed great vision and produced a fantastic flick pass with the outside of his right foot. He also won the midfield battle against Moussa Dembele. Silva made his wise presence known and Gundogan scored in his second consecutive game with a perfect shot from 12 yards.

Upfront, City could have been more clinical, but they did manage to win, didn't they?

Raheem Sterling missed some good chances but made dangerous attacking runs in the final third keeping the Tottenham defenders on their toes. Thanks to his hard work, he did win the penalty for City and got a well-deserved goal in the end.

Gabriel Jesus showed great zeal and presence of mind in making justice to Vincent Kompany's inch-perfect long ball from the back by firing it into the net. He's maturing at a very good rate and proving to be a worthy heir for Sergio Aguero at the club.

All in all, City put in a performance that will remind people why they are currently holding a mammoth lead at the top of the table.
