Man City plummet to worst form in 18 years as Pep Guardiola suffers unprecedented fifth straight defeat in 4-0 thrashing against Tottenham

<p>Guardiola made unwanted history on Saturday as he oversaw yet another defeat for City. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-tottenham-erling-haaland-savinho-josko-gvardiol/bltc1947d13b97fc551" target="_blank">Tottenham's 4-0 win at the Etihad Stadium</a> means Guardiola is now on the longest losing streak of his managerial career after suffering five straight defeats. This is also the first time in 18 years that City have lost five in a row.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-stay-man-city-sign-new-contract-legendary-manager-pen-new-deal-beyond-2025-seismic-decision-future/blt2bd797b9fcb666fa" target="_blank">Guardiola signed a new two-year City contract</a> ahead of the game and had been hoping to snap his team's losing streak against Spurs. However, a James Maddison brace and goals from Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson simply poured more misery on the Catalan and his struggling side. League leaders Liverpool can now move eight points clear of City with a victory over struggling Southampton on Sunday at St Mary's Stadium.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Manchester City are the first reigning top-flight champions to lose five games in a row in all competitions since Chelsea in March 1956, according to <a href="https://x.com/OptaJoe/status/1860406885922341103" target="_blank">Opta</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The fixture list makes grim reading for Manchester City fans. Guardiola's men head to Liverpool next in the Premier League but face a Champions League test against Feyenoord first on Tuesday.</p>
