Tottenham withstood the relentless attack from Manchester City, led by scoring machine Erling Haaland, and scored the opening goal in the 13th minute of the first half.

James Maddison converted a cross from Dejan Kulusevski into a goal to take the lead.

After warming up with sharp shootings, Son Heung-min assisted Maddison's second goal with a clever pass in the 20th minute of the first half.

With a pass that caught the defense off guard, he recorded his fourth assist of the season and his 66th career assist, moving him up to second place in Tottenham's all-time assists.

After Pedro Porro's insurance goal confirmed the victory, Son Heung-min was substituted for Brennan Johnson in the 18th minute of the second half.

Johnson added the fourth goal, and Tottenham defeated Manchester City 4-0.

Tottenham, which has put Manchester City on a five-match losing streak in official competitions while challenging for their first-ever five consecutive titles, has jumped to sixth place.

Meanwhile, Hwang Hee-chan of Wolverhampton made his return from injury after last month's World Cup qualifying match against Jordan, coming on as a substitute against Fulham.
