Pep Guardiola laments Tottenham defending 'so deep and compact' but admits Antonio Conte's side were lethal on the counter attack in shock win over his Man City side

Pep Guardiola couldn't find fault in his Manchester City stars' performance in a dramatic defeat to Spurs, admitting his frustration at Antonio Conte's defensive setup.

Harry Kane rocked the title race by pulling-off a masterclass to outwit the Manchester City defence on Saturday, pulling Spurs ahead in the second-half before heading a 95th minute winner to answer Riyad Mahrez's injury-time spot-kick.

City dominated possession and peppered Spurs with shots but were stifled by Conte's defensive roadblock, camped just outside the penalty box.
