Tottenham hammered Manchester City at the Etihad stadium by a margin of 4-0, courtesy of two goals from James Maddison. City lost five on the trot in all competitions and it was also City’s third consecutive loss in the Premier League. Although Spurs enjoyed their win, their goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario suffered an injury as he was seen limping while leaving the stadium after the game.
Tottenham made an official announcement on Monday that their shot-stopper, Guglielmo Vicario had undergone a surgery on his right-ankle. Then, the player himself revealed that he played 60 minutes with a broken bone and also made five saves with that. He had managed to play with intense pain.
Sometimes football gives you its highs, and sometimes it challenges you in ways you don’t expect. I played 60 minutes at the Etihad with a broken bone in my ankle, giving absolutely everything I had for the team. Unfortunately, there was no way around this one. I needed surgery. I’m disappointed I won’t be able to help the team for a while. A massive thank you to the doctors and the staff. The operation went well, and from tomorrow I’ll be working hard to come back stronger, fitter, and ready to give my all for you again. Thank you to the Spurs fans for all the love. See you soon on the pitch.

Ange Postecoglou is proud of his Tottenham side after they thumped Manchester City 4-0
Ange Postecoglou expressed happiness after his side beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side have always been a daunting opposition especially at their home ground. Postecoglou said that every team faces challenges coming to the Etihad and playing against Manchester City. He stated that his side needed to be disciplined and play good football against Guardiola’s side and they managed to do that on the given day.
Proud of the lads. To come to City at their place is a daunting prospect. It challenges every part of you. A bit of everything today. We had to be disciplined and work hard — and play decent football — and we did that. Our football was the difference today. Outstanding performance.
Ange Postecoglou said at the post-match interview
Postecoglou said that his team has played better than last season but just needed to be consistent. They suffered a 2-1 defeat against Ipswich ahead of the international break and slipped to the 10th position in the points table. However, they have beaten Manchester United at the Old Trafford and Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium comprehensively – a testament to their inconsistency.
