Tottenham Hotspur James Maddison scores the opening goal during the English Premier League match against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium, Manchester in Britain on Saturday- AP MANCHESTER, England, Nov 24 (Reuters): Manchester City's misery continued with a shock 4-0 Premier League rout by Tottenham Hotspur at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, marking the first time in Pep Guardiola's dazzling managerial career that he has lost five games in a row across all competitions.
James Maddison scored twice in the span of seven first-half minutes, while Pedro Porro netted shortly after the break and Brennan Johnson added a fourth goal deep in added time to end City's club record run of 52 consecutive home matches unbeaten in all competitions.
City remain second in the table on 23 points but are five points adrift of leaders Liverpool, with the Reds having a game in hand, while Spurs climbed to sixth on 19 points after 12 games.
"In this moment we are fragile defensively," said Guardiola, who signed a two-year contract extension on Thursday.
