Manchester City were denied what would have been a huge win as Tottenham Hotspur came from behind in a controversial thriller at the Etihad Stadium.

City looked to have three points when they scored twice early in the second half through Leroy Sane and Kevin De Bruyne, after two uncharacteristic errors by Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris.

They were pegged back by Dele Alli and Son Heung-Min, the latter strike coming seconds after City should have had a penalty when Raheem Sterling was pushed over by Kyle Walker.
