Background: Crisis Deepens for Manchester City

What started as a celebratory evening for Manchester City ended in disaster, with the reigning Premier League champions conceding four goals, suffering their third consecutive defeat across all competitions, and deepening a crisis that already threatens to derail their season.

The 4-0 defeat to Tottenham leaves City five points behind league leaders Liverpool, having played one more game.

Fans at the Etihad Stadium were stunned as James Maddison scored two goals within the first 20 minutes. They had enjoyed a light show before kick-off to celebrate midfielder Rodri's Ballon d'Or win, naming him the world's best footballer. After coach Pep Guardiola signed a two-year contract extension earlier in the week, there was double reason to celebrate. However, this latest defeat highlights the on-field issues that Guardiola is struggling to rectify.

Pedro Porro scored a third goal for Tottenham shortly after halftime, and Brennan Johnson added a fourth in the third minute of stoppage time.

This defeat extends the worst losing streak of Guardiola's managerial career, which had previously been stellar at FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and City.

It also provides Liverpool with the perfect opportunity to strengthen their grip on the title race when they face Southampton, bottom of the table, on Sunday.

Rivals are closing in on City, now in second place. Chelsea and Brighton all won on Saturday, moving to within one point of Guardiola's team.
