EPL: Man City Complete Comeback Win Over Tottenham In 6-Goal Thriller

Manchester City got back to winning ways in a thrilling 4-2 comeback win over Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, a victory that moved the champions to within five points of Premier League leaders Arsenal.

Riyad Mahrez, Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez were on target as Man City claimed their first win in three games.

Looking to avoid a third successive defeat in all competitions, City were sluggish from the off and went into the break two goals behind after Dejan Kulusevski and Emerson Royal netted in quick succession at the end of the opening period.

Three goals in 12 second-half minutes, however, quickly turned the match on its head, as strikes from Julian Alvarez, Erling Haaland, the Norwegian's first in four appearances in all competitions, and Riyad Mahrez put City in front.

With the visitors chasing an equaliser down the other end, Mahrez added a late fourth to keep City well in the title race, five behind Arsenal having played one game more than the Gunners, while Spurs stay fifth, five points off the top four.
