Manchester City broke all the wrong records on Saturday when they lost 4-0 at home to Tottenham Hostspur in the Premier League on Saturday, Afrosport reports.
It was a terrible game defensively for City as James Madison’s brace put City 2-0 up in the opening 20 minutes.
Pedro Porro added the third before Brennan Johnson made it 4-0 in added time to increase City’s woes as it made it five consecutive losses, a first in manager Pep Guardiola’s career and a first for City in 18 years.
It was also the first time in two years that the defending champions have lost at home and remain five points behind league leaders, Liverpool who have a game in hand.
