On a day where Kane could celebrate the only goal of the match, a Premier League milestone and a scoring record in Tottenham, it was a significantly heavier evening for the forward on the opposite half of the pitch. Erling Braut Haaland left the field goalless and never had the opportunity to make a significant impact, according to experts. – The number of runs he makes that are ignored is incredible, commented Sky Sports expert Gary Neville during the match. He was supported by former City player Micah Richards. – City must pass the ball faster, he said and pointed to Haaland. Sky claimed just before the end that Haaland had zero touches in the box and zero finishes on goal. Opta concluded the same after the end of the match. FRUSTRATED: – A frustrating game for Erling Braut Haaland, commented Viaplay’s Tor Ole Skullerud.

He has come from a league where they counter and you could see the extreme speed they have. We don’t see that here. He may have chosen the wrong club to get the best out of himself. We don’t get to see everything from Haaland, says the former Liverpool player. According to ESPN, it is the first time the Norwegian has gone a Premier League match without a shot on target. – It is a process. This is a difficult team to fit in, we play uniquely. Nobody says anything when he scores a goal and we win. Suddenly, when we don’t win and he doesn’t score, people ask if there is a problem and if we play better without him. But nobody complained when he scored his 25th goal of the season, says City defender Kyle Walker to Sky Sports after the match. Helped rival City The loss means that the team is unable to close the gap to table leader Arsenal, who suffered a 1-0 defeat by Everton on Saturday. There is thus still a five point difference between the teams. It was rivals Tottenham and Harry Kane who were to give Arsenal a helping hand in the golden match. The decision was to be decided already 15 minutes into the match when Kane scored and ensured that Tottenham won the match 1–0. – They are doing arch-rival Arsenal a great service here, commented Viaplay’s Kasper Wikestad. The score was the Briton’s 200th in the Premier League and also saw him take the club record for the number of goals in a Tottenham shirt. – It is difficult to put it into words. A magical moment, and to secure the victory as well. I would love to win today. And in front of the home fans. I’ll never forget that moment,” Kane told Sky Sports after the match. Kane historic Tottenham got off to the best start on their own turf. With just over a quarter of an hour left in the match, Pierre Emile Højbjerg picked up the ball and rushed into the 16-metre area. The Dane pushed the ball on to an unmarked Kane, who was safe and put the hosts up 1–0. The goal makes Kane stand alone as the top scorer for Tottenham of all time, with 267 goals for the club. He passed Jimmy Greaves. HISTORICAL: It was a night of jubilation for Kane on Sunday.

Riyad Mahrez smashed the ball into the underside of the crossbar, but much to the visitors’ frustration, the ball bounced wide. Both teams had great opportunities after the break, but it ended up with the one goal for Kane. Tottenham’s Cristian Romero received his second yellow card just before the end and was thus sent off. City were unable to take advantage of the fact that they were one man down, and are suffering a bitter defeat in the golden game. There are only two league rounds since the teams last met. The match then ended 4–2 to Manchester City.
