Tottenham Hotspur Stun Manchester City With Last-Gasp Equalizer
Son's Second-Half Strike Earns Nuno a Dream Start
Dejan Kulusevski's 90th-minute header rescues Spurs from the brink of defeat.
In a match that had more twists and turns than a rollercoaster, Tottenham Hotspur snatched a dramatic 1-0 victory over Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. With time running out, Dejan Kulusevski rose highest to nod home a cross from Sergio Reguilon, sending the home crowd into raptures and earning Nuno Espirito Santo his first Premier League win as Tottenham manager. The match had started brightly for Tottenham, with Son Heung-min putting the hosts ahead after just five minutes. However, Manchester City dominated much of the possession and eventually equalized through Ilkay Gundogan in the 33rd minute. With the match seemingly heading for a draw, Kulusevski's late heroics secured all three points for Spurs. The Swedish winger has now scored in each of his last three appearances for the club, and his goal on Sunday will live long in the memory of Tottenham fans. The win was a massive result for Tottenham, who had lost their opening two matches of the season. It also gives Nuno a much-needed boost after a difficult start to his reign at the club. For Manchester City, it was a disappointing result, but they will be looking to bounce back when they face Arsenal next weekend.
