Tottenham snatched a point in a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Etihad on Saturday, where Manchester City were dominant but wasteful. Pep Guardiola long appeared to have outmanoeuvred Mauricio Pochettino, only to see Spurs come from 2-0 down to draw following a remarkable second half spell.
As ever, the two managers came out fighting, using adventurous game plans that featured fervent pressing and high defensive lines. Pochettino's system looked perilous, the wing-backs closing down City's and putting Spurs' back three up against three attackers.
City probably had enough chances to end the contest in the first half alone, their pressing forcing Spurs into grave errors near the box.
