Manchester City began the evening in party mood, celebrating Rodri's Ballon d'Or win and Pep Guardiola's new contract. But the atmosphere soon began to resemble that of a funeral as Tottenham ripped their hosts apart, inflicting a fifth consecutive defeat on the champions.
James Maddison scored twice in the first half with the help of some criminal defending from Josko Gvardiol and City never recovered. Erling Haaland was at his wasteful worst, while Ilkay Gundogan could not handle the intensity of the game, with Dejan Kulusevski running the show.
Pedro Porro smashed in a third goal and in the last minute, substitute Brennan Johnson added a fourth, making it City's heaviest home defeat under Guardiola as well as their worst defeat since moving to the Etihad Stadium 21 years ago.
