Steven Bergwijn had a dream debut as he scored for Tottenham in a 2-0 win over Man City.
The £25million arrival from PSV Eindhoven gave Spurs a 63rd-minute lead with their first shot on goal, before Heung-min Son sealed the points for Jose Mourinho.
Steven Bergwijn had a debut to remember
City will be wondering how they did not score with Sergio Aguero hitting a post, Ilkay Gundogan having a penalty saved by Hugo Lloris and Kevin De Bruyne’s cross being diverted on to the crossbar.
The game turned when Oleksandr Zinchenko was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Harry Winks on the hour mark.
The result saw Tottenham rise to fifth in the table, while Man City dropped more points in their so-far disappointing title reign.
Liverpool equalled City’s record of 20 consecutive home victories in the Premier League with a straightforward 4-0 victory over Southampton at Anfield.
Second-half goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson and two from Mohamed Salah moved the Reds 22 points clear at the top of the table as their inevitable march towards the title continues.
