Hits and Flops - Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur

Hit - Erik Lamela

Lamela was crucial to both equalisers Spurs scored against Manchester City

What will be considered a good result for Tottenham will hide a poor performance from Mauricio Pochettino's team. Within that bleak outing, Erik Lamela's contribution stands out as a winner.

Against sides like Guardiola's Manchester City, you take what you can get and make the best of it. Spurs were expected to at least give them a run for the money, yet they failed to generate any creative output in the game.

Two moments of impressive play with Erik Lamela at the centre of it is what earned them the point that they've won and the two they have stolen from City.

The first bit saw Tanguy Ndombele play the ball to an advanced Erik Lamela who had passing options but cleverly used the big frame of Rodri as a shield to bend his shot around him and beat Ederson who was poorly positioned.

In the second instance, it was his corner that found Lucas Moura's head to equalise for the second time and put the onus on City to try and beat them again.
