Join us at SportsBreaks as we take a look into one of exciting rivalries in English football between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.
We’ll explore the history between the two sides and the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that has hosted some memorable battles between the two sides.
The history of the Tottenham vs Manchester City rivalry
Traditionally the two sides have not been viewed as rivals, neither necessarily threatened the other’s chances of winning silverware. But, in the Premier League era, since 1992, Spurs have often been Manchester City’s bogey team with 19 of their 29 top-flight meetings ending in Spurs victory.
But a rivalry was truly born in the 2009/10 season as the two sides battles for fourth place and a spot in the Champions League. The game was tense and hostilities high, and it was Spurs who came out on top with a late winner from Peter Crouch.
Since then the two have continued to battle it out, and Spurs have had glory at their new home, winning every fixture bar one across all competitions at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Memorable clashes at Tottenham Stadium
1. Manchester City’s first time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Just six days after the inaugural game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Pocehttino’s side welcomed City to their new home for the Champions League quarterfinal. It was a tense encounter and City enjoyed plenty of chances. But the home side pinced on their chance and a shot from Son Heung-min saw the only goal of the game to secure victory.
2. Tottenham go top of the league
In November 2020 Tottenham hosted City and were riled up for what they knew would be a tough fixture. All players came out firing and two goals from Son Heung-min and Giovani lo Celso sent Spurs to the top of the table. City dominated possession, but Spurs manager Jose Mourinho displayed an impressive tactical masterclass that saw Spurs enjoy the win.
3. Kane’s scoring record
5th February 2023 was an odd fixture between Tottenham and Manchester City, there was a divide in fans with one half secretly hoping for a loss that would ensure Arsenal’s title hopes were shattered and the other camp of course hoping for glory. The latter group were rewarded with a 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Harry Kane in the 15th minute that sealed his name in club history as he became Tottenham’s all-time record scorer.
What’s Next?
Having only secured one win at the Spurs Stadium, City always come eager to overturn their losing record so the games are always sure to be fierce. You can register your interest in future matches and view our latest Tottenham Hotspur tickets on sale here.
