Kane aims for top four after brace
to the boys for creating another chance at the end. For me it was about ending three losses in a row and we had to find a way of getting our season back on track.
“To get the result we did was really, really special.
“The boys worked their socks off today, but to get the goals was obviously nice.
“We have high standards of ourselves and we’ve got ourselves in a position where we can really fight for the top four.
“Football’s about bouncing back. We can’t get too high or too low.
“This performance shows we’re fighting to the end.
“Hopefully we can use it as momentum going forward.”
Spurs saw Dejan Kulusevski’s early opener cancelled out before the break by Ilkay Gundogan.
Kane struck just before the hour, only for Mahrez to level in the early seconds of stoppage time after Cristian Romero had handled.
But Tottenham’s skipper had the final word – and City’s lead at the top over Liverpool has now been cut to six points with Jurgen Klopp’s men holding a game in hand.
Kane added: “We probably have to learn how to be more consistent in a long season. To be in the top four, it has to be on a consistent basis.”
Guardiola said: “Tottenham have a lot of quality – and they give the ball to Harry Kane. They are really good up front.
“In the first half, they had the goal and no more. In the second half they had one attack with Harry Kane at the start and they scored.
“They are clinical. They have Kane and Son and Kulusevski. We could not defend their crosses.
”We didn’t need to lose a game already to know how hard it is to win the league. There are many, many games still to play.”
