Tottenham Hotspur thrashed Manchester City 4-0 in a Saturday English Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium to end the English champions' record 52-game unbeaten streak at home.
Spurs' English star James Maddison scored double in the first half as Tottenham were on a 2-0 lead to upset the Man City crowd.
In the 52nd minute, the London club's Spanish full-back Pedro Porro was in the box to unleash a first-time effort that beat Man City goalkeeper Ederson. Tottenham made it 3-0 before the hour mark.

But in the injury time the visitors scored their fourth goal. Tottenham's German forward Timo Werner intercepted Man City midfielder Jack Grealish's pass to the right flank. Werner dribbled into the box to find Brennan Johnson at the far post. The Spurs' Welsh forward slid to score an empty goal.
