Spurs stun 10-man Manchester City

Steven Bergwijn volleyed in a debut goal and Son Heung-min also netted to give Tottenham a 2-0 victory over 10-man Manchester City to revive Jose Mourinho’s pursuit of Champions League qualification.

Second-placed City’s sixth loss of their English Premier League title defence leaves Liverpool 22 points clear with 13 games remaining and in contention to end their 30-year league title drought by winning the Merseyside derby at Everton on March 16.

Tottenham rose to fifth place and moved within four points of fourthplaced Chelsea as Jose Mourinho’s side got the best of the champions despite having only a third of possession and being outshot 17-3.

Tottenham scored from two of their shots on target after Oleksandr Zinchenko’s push on Harry Winks to halt a counterattack on the hour saw the City midfielder shown a second yellow card.

Spurs were in front in the 63rd minute when Bergwijn brought down a pass from Lucas Moura with his chest, controlled the ball on the turn and volleyed into the bottom corner. The winger only arrived four days ago from PSV Eindhoven.

Shortly after Bergwijn came off with cramp, it was Tottenham’s recordsigning from the summer transfer who helped to create the second goal.

Tanguy Ndombele had been on the pitch barely a minute when he sent the ball through to Son, who struck past goalkeeper Ederson in the 71st minute.

Burnley and Arsenal fought to a goalless stalemate at Turf Moor, but the Clarets’ Jay Rodriguez had a bad stroke of luck as he was denied a gameclinching goal by the crossbar.

Arsenal’s Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed early chances for the lead. Arsenal are 10th on the table with 31 points, the same as Burnley who are 11th.
