Gary Lineker poked fun at the Tottenham Hotspur capitulation against Man City with an 8-word summary of events, as Man City came back from 2 goals down to win 4-2.
After a shocking piece of playing out from the back and lackadaisical defending from Pep Guardiola’s side, Antonio Conte’s men were gifted a 2-goal lead right before half-time.
However, the Sky Blues reacted like champions, courtesy of a 12-minute comeback, with goals from Julian Alvarez, Erling Haaland and Riyad Mahrez.
And in the dying embers of the contest, Mahrez, who was far and away the best player on the pitch doubled his tally with a delightful dink above Hugo Lloris.
Gary Neville, as was the case with several neutrals could not help but chime in on Tottenham and their tendency to shoot themselves in their own foot, as was the case against Man City.
Considering Spurs were second best for much of the 1st half, two major slices of luck meant they somehow went into half-time leading 2-0.
The fact that they could not just hold on to their lead, and instead shipped as many as 4 goals in the 2nd half was a comical sight for many.
And understandably so.
Gary Lineker sums up Tottenham collapsevs Man City in 8-word summary
Gary Lineker summed up the Tottenham collapse against Man City with an 8-word summary on Twitter, saying, “Well, this has all gone a bit Spursy.”
In al fairness, the renowned broadcaster is right in summing up the turn of events in such fashion.
Against Arsenal, the Lilywhites were well beaten and deservedly so.
Considering fortune seemingly favoured the visitors on Thursday, they should have capitalised.
Gary Lineker, like many other had to have a laugh at Tottenham Hotspur’s expense, as they did well and truly choke against Man City.
