Kane's Lone Goal Hands Tottenham Victory Over Man City

By Chimezie Nebolisa

Manchester City's hope of cutting Arsenal's League lead to two points was dashed off as Harry Kane's lone and record-breaking goal earned Tottenham Hotspur a 1-0 won over the champions on Sunday.

Kane's 15th-minute effort made him the north London club's all-time top goalscorer with 267, taking him past great Jimmy Greaves whose record had stood since 1970.

With Erling Haaland relatively quiet in the evening, City came closest to scoring when a Riyad Mahrez effort that smashed against the underside of the crossbar in first-half stoppage time.

Tottenham overcame a late attack to clinch a third win in four league games over Pep Guardiola's side.

City remain in second place with 45 points from 21 games. Tottenham stand fifth on 39 points from 22 games, one behind Newcastle United.
