Harry Kane scored his first goal of the season as Spurs came from behind to blow away title favourites Manchester City.

Kevin De Bruyne had given the visitors the lead but goals from Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld and Kane turned the game on its head as Spurs won their third league match in a row.

Erik Lamela then rounded off his fine display with a composed finish to send White Hart Lane into pandemonium.

Mauricio Pochettino made eight to his side from the 2-1 defeat to bitter rivals Arsenal in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday night.

The North London side’s record against Manchester City has been dreadful of late, with eight defeats in the last nine and that record looked set to continue early on at City dominated the ball in the first half.

Sergio Aguero had the best chance in the opening exchanges as he forced a good save from Hugo Lloris in the Spurs goal from 25 yards.

Spurs found it hard to break down the visitors in the final third and it was a sloppy pass from Kyle Walker that led to City’s opening goal.

The misplaced pass from the full back ignited and incisive break away from Yaya Toure who slotted in De Bruyne who fired home his second goal in two games.

Pellegrini’s side could have been 2-0 up but for the hand of Lloris who got down well to his right to deny Raheem Sterling.

It had not fallen for Harry Kane so far this season – even when Nicholas Otamendi wafts at thin air for a clearance, Kane could only drill his shot wide from the edge of the box when he should have played in Eriksen.

Yet the Englishman could have had his first goal in Spurs colours – a neat turn on the edge of the box and clean hit was met with a good save from Willy Caballero. He would not have to wait long.

Eric Dier has impressed in the centre of the park this season with his defensive capabilities but few would have expected him to rifle in an effort from 30 yards.

Although, the build-up was shrouded in controversy as Walker was shown to be three yards offside when he played his cross into Heung-Min Son whose shot was well saved by Caballero.

But a poor clearance from goalscorer De Bruyne fell into the path of Dier who sweetly struck home.
City players protested at half time – Aleksandar Kolvarov picked up a yellow card from referee Mark Clattenburg.

Clearly their sense of injustice had not warn off at the start of the second half and Spurs took full advantage.

Kane did well to win a free-kick from Kolarov on the right hand side which gave Erik Lamela to swing a cross onto the head of Alderweireld with Caballero in no-mans-land after 50 minutes.

The joy around the ground was there to be seen when Kane shovelled in the rebound from the a superb Eriksen free-kick that rattled the post.

However, it was another goal was looked to be offside after De Bruyne was slightly off for the first goal and Walker three yards offside for the equaliser.

City were rocking but had their chances to get back into the game first with Navas who let rip from a tight angle only to be denied by the fingertips of Lloris.

Sterling then dragged a shot wide when it seemed much easier to hit the target on the edge of the box.

It went from a turnaround to a thumping as City completely capitulated by conceding a fourth goal.

Substitute Clint N’Jie skinned Kolarov on the wing before crossing to Lamela who looked like he had wasted the chance under pressure from Demichelis but was able to round the keeper and make it 4-1.
